a ratio of 1:3 has 4 total parts, meaning that each part is 5.

What is the solution (x,y) to the system of equations below x + 9y = 3 y= 1/3 x + 7

Alex_Xolod [135]

Let's solve this by substitution.

y is given by the 2nd eqn as y = (1/3)x + 7. Subst. (1/3)x + 7 into the first eqn as a replacement for y: x + 9( (1/3)x + 7) = 3.

clear out fractions by mult. all 3 terms by 3: 3x + 9x + 63 = 3

Combine like terms: 12x = -60. Then x = -5

Find y by subst. -5 for x in the 2nd equation: y = (1/3)(-5) + 7

= -5/3 + 35/3 = 30/3 = 10.

Thus, the solution (x,y) of this system is (-5,10).

Find the ratio a:c if a:b = 1:2, b:d = 4:5, d:c = 3:1

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

a : c = 6 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressing the ratios in fractional form, then

$\frac{a}{c}$ = $\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{b}{d}$ × $\frac{d}{c}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{4}{5}$ × $\frac{3}{1}$ = $\frac{12}{10}$ = $\frac{6}{5}$

Thus a : c = 6 : 5
