36:20, or 36/20. To simplify, find a number both 36 and 20 can be divided by.
36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 36
20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
The largest number both have in common is 4. So, divide both 36 and 20 by 4 so that you have:
9:5

Answer:

3.) 63=3x+7y

4.) Y-intercept is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(For 3) For every time a person gets a touchdown, x represents that

for every time a person person scored a successful extra-point attempt, y represents that.

And they team scores 63, so....

the equation would look like this

63=3x+7y

(For 4) You find the y-intercept by turning the standard form equatio into the slop intercept form

$(-3x)63=3x+7y (-3x)\\(\frac{1}{7}) 7y=(-3x+63)(\frac{1}{7} )\\y=-\frac{3x}{7} +9$

(Helper's note, multiplying by its reciprocal is the same as dividing it by a whole number, in the case dividing the number by 7 is the save as multiplying the number by $\frac{1}{7}$ )
