Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Get rid of fractions:
Multiply the whole equation, i.e. all terms both sides of the equals sign, by the denominator or the lowest common multiple of all denominators if there are multiple fractions in the equation;
In this case, only one term is a fraction and therefore has a denominator (i.e. 7), so it is this number we multiply the equation by to get:
7(y) = 7(-³/₇.x) + 7(3)
7y = -3x + 21
3x + 7y = 21

Answer:
605 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of boys to girls is 5:7
and there are 847 girls
we can plug this value into the ratio by doing something like:
5:7
= 5/7
= x/847
Because the ratio has to be the same, we can substitute x for the number of boys and solve by the cross method or whatever you guys call it.
5 x
--- x ------
7 847
The x in the middle is just to show the direction you are multiplying.
the 5 is multiplied by the 847 and the 7 is multiplied by x.
847 * 5 = 4,235
4,235 divided by 7 is 605
605 is your answer.
The cross method can be used in most situations.
* is used to represent multiplication btw
Answer: X= 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Length = 11.25 and width = 3.75 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
You must mean that the length is 3 times its width.
If the the width is x then the length is 3x inches.
Perimeter = 2*length + 2*width.
2(3x) + 2x = 30
6x + 2x = 30
8x = 30
x = 3.75.
3x = 11.25.
