C never, there are always different methods to solve a problem but don't forget that the equation always stays the same!
Remark.The easiest way to do this question is to graph it. Start with that.
The red line is y = (1/3)^x
The blue line is y = 5*(1/3)^x
CommentThe red line's y intercept is (0,1)
The blue line's y intercept is (0,5)
WhyIf the x value is 0 then (1/3)^0 = 1
y = (1/3)^0 = 1 * 1 = 1 and for the blue graph
y = 5*(1/3)^0 = 5*1 = 5
In other words, in this set of equations, the 5 makes the y intercept 5 times larger than the 1 in front of y = (1/3)^x
If you have choices, could you please list them? I may be giving you the right answer but not in the form required.
Because there nobody that teaches them how to do math
Y + 0.4 = 2 .....subtract 0.4 from both sides
y = 2 - 0.4
y = 1.6 <==
Answer:
1920 men are there in college.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the statement: At a certain college, the ratio of men to women is 6 to 5. If there are 3520 total students.
Ratio states that it is just a comparison between, or a relating of, two different things.
i.e a to b or a: b
Ratio of men to women:
Men : Women = 6: 5
Let x be the number.
Total number of Men in college = 6x and Total number of women = 5x
Since, total number of students = 3520
⇒
Combine like terms;
11x = 3520
Divide by 11 on both sides we get;
x = 320
Therefore, total number of men in college = 6x = 6(320) = 1920
