A=automobile S=SUV
0.4A+A=98 (to change a percent to a decimal you move the decimal point two places to the right)
1.4A=98 (I combined like terms)
A=70 (divided each side by 1.4)
Answer:
x = -45, y = -40
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the first clue, we find out that
x + 5 = y
5x = 6y + 15
We can re-write the first equation to x = y - 5.
Therefore, the second equation can also be written as 5(y - 5) = 6y + 15
This can be simplified to 5y - 25 = 6y + 15
We can subtract 6y from each side, and add 25 to each side;
5y - 6y = 15 + 25
Therefore, -y = 40
Therefore y = -40.
Now let's plug this back into the original equation, to get : x + 5 = -40
x=-45
Let x be the number of boys, the number of girls will be 200-x
Number of boys with blue eyes x/3
Number of girls with blue eyes (200-x)/4
ll blue eyes ==> x/3 + (200-x)/4 = 57
Reduce to same denominator & solve for x
(4x + 600 - 3x)/12 = 681/12
x=81, the total number of boys & girls200-81 119
False ....a parameter is something YOU can change, like asking magazines if they are interested in sports, or interested in photography, or something else. So the 12% is a statistic.
