What must be subtracted from each term of the ratio 3:7 so that the ratio becomes 2:5?

My attempt: Let two numbers be 3x and 7x. So, 3x−y7x−y=25⟹15x−5y=14x−2y⟹y=x3. But the answer is given as 13 only.

I wish somebody could provide some clarifications.

Answer:

13.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you meant to write 25:37.

The answer is:

13 as

25 - 13 = 12

and 37 - 13 = 24

12: 24 = 1:2.

3x-6y=6 in function notation

JulijaS [17]

Subtract 3x from both sides:

-6y = -3x + 6

divide both sides by -6 to get y by itself:

y = 1/2x - 1

function notation is rewriting y as a function:

f(x) = 1/2x -1

At the ice cream parlor,sundaes cost $4.25 and waffle cones cost $3.75.You and your friends have $50 to spend.Your group buys 5

stich3 [128]

Answer:

You can buy 7 waffle cones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sundae = x

Let waffle cones = y

4.25x + 3.75y ≤ 50

4.25 (5) + 3.75y ≤ 50

21.25 + 3.75y ≤ 50

3.75y ≤ 28.75

y ≤ 7.666666666

* round to the nearest whole to get 7

blondinia [14]

Answer:

(1, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint x = (x₁ + x₂) / 2

midpoint y = (y₁ + y₂) / 2

$(\frac{-1 + 3}{2} , \frac{2 + -(6)}{2} )$

= (1, -2)
