Let m = the total number of medals.
To find the total number of medals we can use either of the clues they gave us.
If Tara's team received 8 medals and that was 1/3 of the medals. That must mean that:
m x 1/3 = 8
What number divided by 3 is 8? Well, that is 24. Thus, the total number of medals is 24.
Note: we can check to see if 1/2 of 24 is 12, the total number of medals Jennifer team received, and it checks out!
Answer: y= -2/9
Explanation:
21(2-y)+12y=44
42-21y+12y=44
42-9y=44
-9y=2
y=-2/9
Answer:
The required expression is
Step-by-step explanation:
Difference of two minus three = 2-3
Quotient of b divided by the difference of two minus three is
Therefore, the required expression is

2y - 3x = 4
2y = 3x + 4
y = 3/2*x + 2
y = kx + b ==>
k = 3/2 = 1,5
