Answer:
y = 16/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming "y" is a variable
3y - 6/9 = 4 - 2/-3
3y - 2/3 =14/3
3y - 16/3 = 0
1/3 (9y - 2) = 14/3
ANSWER = y : 16/9
Answer:
16 oranges
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of oranges to apples is 4:3 which means that for every four oranges, there are 3 apples.
Since there are 12 apples in the basket, to find the number of oranges, set up a ratio.
4/3 = x/12 (x represents the number of oranges)
Cross multiply.
48 = 3x
Divide by 3.
x = 16
There are 16 oranges in the basket.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
34
Step-by-step explanation:
X + y = 24....multiply by -3
3x + 5y = 100
---------------
-3x - 3y = - 72 (result of multiplying by -3)
3x + 5y = 100
--------------add
2y = 28
y = 28/2
y = 14
x + y = 24
x + 14 = 24
x = 24 - 14
x = 10
solution is (10,14)...and x represents 3 point q's and y represents 5 point q's......so this tells me there are 10 three point q's and 14 five point q's.
