Answer:
edit: i was wrong ignore me
2x + 8y = 5
2/ 24x - 4y = -15
2x + 8y = 5
48x - 8x = -30
+
--------------------------
50x = -25
x = -1/2
2 * -1/2 + 8y = 5
-1 + 8y = 5
8y = 6
y = 6/8
y = 3/4
x = -1/2 y = 3/4
Answer:
x=70
y=75
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+x+5-35=180
3x-30=180
3x=210
x=70
2(70)-35=105
180-105=75
y=75
So first what you want to do is take 98 and subtract it by 48. Which gives us 50. Now what we do is that since we are finding two numbers we would have to divide that by half, which would give us 25. Both of them are now equal. To find the number that makes that difference, we need to add 48 to one of the 25 values. Which would be 73. Meaning that the two numbers are 73 and 25. They both add up to 98 and 73 has a difference of 48 from 25.
16:24 students made at least 80% on the test. The question is what is the ratio of students who scored below an 80% to the total number of students. 8:24 would be the right answer, but since it is asking for the answer in the simplest form, it would be 1:3.
