Answer:
(2,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations
x-3y=-4-------------------------------(1)
y=-3x+8.------------------------------(2)
Substitute 2 in 1. This means use the value of y in equation 1, to replace y
x-3(-3x+8)=-4------------------open brackets
x+9x-24=-4---------------------collect like terms
10x=-4+24
10x=20---------------------------divide by 10 both sides to get value of x
10x/10=20/10=2
x=2------------------------------use value of x in equation (2) to get value of y
y=-3x+8
y=-3(2)+8
y=-6+8=2
solutions
x=2, y=2
The absolute value of -5 would be 5
Hope this helps, and have a nice day
Answer:
680 girls and 850 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
the ratio of girls is 4/9
then we can find the number of girls (G) in the group of 1530 students using proportions:
4 / 9 = G / 1530
solving for G by multiplying both sides of the proportion by 1530, we get:
G = 4 * 1530 / 9 = 680
So there were:
680 girls and 1530 - 680 = 850 boys
