Set up a proportion. take 3/6 = 20/x
Cross multiply 3 * x = 6 * 20
Simplify 3x = 120
Divide by 3 x = 40
So the denominator of the bottom fraction is 40
Answer: 16 men
32 women
38 children
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of men in the group.
Let y represent the number if women in the group.
Let z represent the number of children in the group.
A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. This means that
x + y + z = 86 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
There are twice as many women than there are men. It means that
x = y/2
There are 6 more children than there are women. This means that
z = y + 6
Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes
y/2 + y + y + 6 = 86
multiplying through by 2, it becomes
y + 2y + 2y + 12 = 172
5y = 172 - 12 = 160
y = 160/5 = 32
x = y/2 = 32/2
x = 16
z = y + 6 = 32 + 6
z = 38

Answer:
y = -x -12
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line you want is the same as the slope of the line you have: -1. Then the point-slope equation of the line is ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line of slope m through point (h, k)
y -(-7) = -1(x -(-5))
y = -x -5 -7 . . . . subtract 7, eliminate parentheses
y = -x -12 . . . slope-intercept equation
