Answer: (-5,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
x=-2y-3
4y-x=9
4y-(-2y-3)=9
4y+2y+3=9
6y+3=9
6y=6
y=1
x=-2y-3
x=-2-3
x=-5
We can determine that the ratio is simplified by checking that the numbers in ratio can be divided with the same number, if it can be divided then it is not simplified for example 9:12 is the ratio and we can divide both numbers with 3 and then we get 3 : 4.
Now we cannot divide 3:4 further with any same number so this is simplified form.
6x +12 - 3x = 70
6x-3x+12= 70
3x+12= 70
move +12 to the other side
sign changes from +12 to -12
3x+12-12=70-12
3x= 58
divide by 3 for both sides
3x/3=58/3
x=58/3 or x=19 1/3
Answer: x=58/3 or x=19 1/3
210 because 7th graders washed 12 cars, 8th graders washed 14 cars, 6th graders washed 16 cars. Added all together and multiplied by 5, it equals 210
