Y would equal 12 if x were to equal 4. You can think of it as a proportion.
Answer:
-189
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember to follow the rules of signs:
- If there are two positive signs next to each other, you add:
- If there is one negative sign and one positive sign next to each other, you subtract.
- If there is two negative signs next to each other, you add:
- 412 - (-223) = -412 + 223
Subtract:
223 - 412 = -189
-189 is your answer.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-60
Step-by-step explanation:
Increase in population is given by positive sign
Change in population in 5 years = -300
Decrease in population is represented by negative sign
Change in population in 1 year = -300\5
= -60
Town's population faces a decrease of 60 residents each year.
The sum of their speeds is 380 miles per hour. The difference of their speeds is 30 miles per hour. Then the faster plane is traveling at
.. (380 +30)/2 = 205 miles per hour
The slower plane's speed is 30 miles per hour less, so it is traveling at
.. 205 mph -30 mph = 175 miles per hour
Answer:
A) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to get this but this is how I did it:
1. Multiply the second equation by 1/4 to get the same fraction for y as the one in the first equation
1/4 x + 1/8 y = 2
1/4 (1/3 x + 1/2 y = 4)
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
2. Subtract the first equation from the new equation
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
<u> - 1/4 x - 1/8 y = -2</u>
-1/6 x= -1
3. Divide both sides by -1/6
<u>-1/6</u> x= <u>-1</u>
-1/6 -1/6
x = 6
4. Substitute 4 in for x in the original equation:
1/4 (6) + 1/8y = 2
6/4 + 1/8y = 2
1/8y = 1/2
y = 4
