The value of a would be 3.5, as a=1 when b=10 means that a is worth 1/10 of b's value.
Let no red ribbons=x
no. Of blue ribbons=x+3
No. Of yellow ribb9ns=x+7
Totsl ribbons=28
28=x+x+3+x+7
28=3x+10
3x=28-10
3x=18
X=18/3
X=6
No .of red ribbons=6
No. Of blue ribbons=x+3=9
No. Of yellow ribbons=x+7=13
Multiply the numerators and denominators together:
-24/150
Divide the numerator and denominator by 6:
-24 / 6 = -4
150 / 6 = 25
-4/25
(a) y = 2x + 3
(b) (1,5), (3,3); y = 3x + 3 5 = m1 + b, 3 = m3 + b
(c) coincident i believe, because it is not independent or inconsistent
(d) 2x + 3 = 3x + 3
(-2x)(-3) (-2x)(- 3)
0 = -2x
x = 0
hope this helps
