Answer:
y
2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. switch sides
2. distribute
3. simply (combine like terms) in this case it would go to 22y
4. add 48 to both sides
5. simplify
6. divide
y2
If you use the first answer, the equation becomes 2x + 2y = 16. You could subtract this from equation Q to eliminate x.
The second answer makes equation P -2x - 2y = -16. You could add this to equation Q to eliminate x. You can use both of these methods to eliminate the x term, but if you can only choose one, you should choose the second option.
So, let's look at the problem once again.
8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.
Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.
We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.
92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)
24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276
276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.
276 plus 24 = 300.
Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.
No because 3*2= 6 while 5*2=10 so if it was equivalent it would of been 3/5 to 6/10
