1.D, both.
not sure of the other though
Answer:
x = number of bicycles = 35
y = number of cars = 55
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of bicycles
y = number of cars
x + y = 80 (1)
2x + 4y = 270 (2)
From (1)
x = 80 - y
Substitute x = 80 - y into (2)
2x + 4y = 270 (2)
2(80 - y) + 4y = 270
160 - 2y + 4y = 270
- 2y + 4y = 270 - 160
2y = 110
y = 110/2
y = 55
Substitute y = 55 into (1)
x + y = 80 (1)
x + 55 = 80
x = 80 - 55
x = 35
x = number of bicycles = 35
y = number of cars = 55
Basically you want to find an equivalent fraction for 3/5 in the answer choices.
12/20 equals 3/5 because 3/5 x 4/4 (or 1) = 12/20
answer: 4
