Answer:
elmo is 3 right now
Step-by-step explanation:
5x -4 = 3x+2
2x= 6
x= 3
8
46
is equivalent to 4
23
because 4 x 2 = 8 and 23 x 2 = 46
12
69
is equivalent to 4
23
because 4 x 3 = 12 and 23 x 3 = 69
16
92
is equivalent to 4
23
because 4 x 4 = 16 and 23 x 4 = 92
If we are eliminating x, we would multiply the 2nd equation by -5
5x + 18y = 23
x + 3y = 2....multiply by -5
-----------------
5x + 18y = 23
-5x - 15y = - 10 (result of multiplying by -5)
----------------add
0 + 3y = 13.....bye-bye x :)
Starting more simply, if we wanted to know how many students like pink in general, that's 68/100. We could do that for each single category and the fractions would add together to equal 1. Now say we wanted to know something about that 68/100 people. That 68 is our new 100%, or another way of looking at it is if we take however many people like pink and don't like black and those that do like black, they will equal 68/68.
The number of people that like pink but don't like black is 41/68 and those that like pink and black are 27/68. 27+41=68 For the question of your problem it is asking about those that do not like pink which you can tell from the table or use from my saying 68/100 like pink is 32. Now you can split that into those that do or don't like black, and the two results will equal 32/32.
