Any fraction that you multiply by the same number on the bottom and on top.

So, multiply by two, what you do to the top do to the bottom. = 12/16

Multiply by three = 18/24

So on, so on.

Or you can reduce, 6/8 divide by 2 = 3/4.

If 9y=9 and x=-15,what is y when x=21
olga55 [171]

Welcome to Brainly!

This problem is odd in that no information is given regarding the relationship, if any, between x and y, and (more importantly) x can't have both values -15 and 21.  Please go back and ensure that you have copied down this problem precisely as it was given you.

In a football tournament, the Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets. The Wasps scored 28 more points
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

  • <u>The Bees scored 90 points.</u>

Explanation:

First, let's prove that the equation is correct.

To create the equation, you translate the verbal statements into algebraic expressions.

Since, it is said that x respresents the number of points scored by the Hornets, that is your variable and all the verbal statements will be translated using x:

a) NUmber of points scored by the Hornets: x

b) The Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets ⇒v3x - 9

c) The Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets ⇒ x + 8

d) Together the three teams scored 184 points ⇒

 

  • x + (3x - 9) + (x + 28) = 184

Which indeed is the given equation: (3x – 9) + x + (x + 28) = 184

Now, complete the steps to show it, in the same order given:

<u>1. Combine like terms. </u>

  • Remove the parenthesis: x + 3x - 9 + x + 28 = 184

  • Combine the terms on x on the left: x + 3x + x = 5x

  • Combine the constants on the left: - 9 + 28 = 19

  • Write the result: 5x + 19 = 184

<u>2. Use the subtraction property of equality. </u>

  • Subtract 19 from both sides: 5x + 19 - 19 = 184 - 19

  • Due the operations: 5x = 165

<u>3. Use the division property of equality. 4. </u>

  • Divide both sides by 5: (5x / 5) = 165 / 5

  • Due the operations: x = 33

<u>4. Use the variable to answer the question. How many points did the Bees score?</u>

  • The expression for the points scored by the Bees is 3x - 9, so substitute x in that expression: 3 (33) - 9 = 99 - 9 = 90.

  • Answer: the Bees scored 90 points.
