Answer:
A & B
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 2y = 10 (1)
-2.5x + y = -5 (2)
When you multiply (2) by -2, you get (1), so there can be many solutions
To choose from the given options, plug in the values to check which ones satisfy the equation
5x - 2y = 10
A) (2,0)
5(2) - 2(0) = 10
10 = 10 (true statement)
B) (-2,-10)
5(-2) - 2(-10) = 10
-10 + 20 = 10
10 = 10 (true statement)
Set up the equation by writing the number of students in the ratio as a fraction:
3/4= (245-x)/x Cross multiply:
3x= 4(245-x) Multiply on right:
3x= 980-4x Add 4x on both sides:
7x= 980 Divide both sides by 7:
x= 140 this is how many girls there are. And:
245-140= 105= boys
Like in real life problems?
if yes then when conducting a survey, when grading quizzes/assignments, etc
