-18x-17=-53 /add 17 to both sides
-18x-17+17=-53+17
-18x=-36
x=(-36)/(-18)
x=2
Jim is correct because the ratios need to compare with the total amount of people surveyed. 55, 80, and 65 are numbers that don't fit in and don't tell the overall ratio. You can tell this by writing it as a fraction.
Ex: 35:100 = 35/100. This literally means 35 out of 100 people exercise in the morning.
Hope this helps! If you have any questions, just ask!
The answer is a because it matches the histogram
For this case we have the following system of equations:
-4x + 5y = 8
6x - y = 11
The solution is the ordered pair where both functions intersect.
In this case, the point of intersection is:
(x, y) = (5/2, 7/2)
Answer: (x, y) = (5/2, 7/2) option 1See attached image
