104 / 169 = x / 224.25......104 lbs to 169 mg = x lbs to 224.25 mg
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(169)(x) = (104)(224.25)
169x = 23322
x = 23322 / 169
x = 138 lbs <==
Y=9.25 (short answer but hope this helped u)
Answer:
The solution is (0, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please pay attention to the first two equations and drop the last two:
12x−5y=−20 y=x+4 x=x=x, equals y=y=y should ideally be:
12x−5y=−20
y=x+4
Let's find x. Substitute x + 4 for y in the first equation, obtaining:
12x - 5(x + 4) = -20
Carrying out the indicated multiplication, we get:
12x - 5x - 20 = -20, or 7x = 0
If x = 0 then y must be 0 + 4, or 4.
The solution is (0, 4)
