16-4=12
12x5=60
I'm putting together assumptions as this isn't really clear to me, I apologize.
-- If the spinner is honest and the sections are all the same size, then
each section should have an equal chance of being landed on.
-- If there are 4 sections, then the chance of landing on each one
should be 1/4 or 25%.
-- The chance doesn't depend on how many times you try it.
If there are 4 sections, then each one should come up
25% of the time.
Hi there! :)
4x=-36
Divide both sides by 4 in order to isolate x:
x=-9
Hope this helps you and have a nice day!

Im doing this question rn and I believe the answer should be C) the ratio of the student body that are in 12th grade and play two or more sports.
Step-by-step explanation: I chose this bc there are 28 12th graders that play 2 or more sports and the total student body is 612. So 28/612 makes most sense to me. Sorry this is so late but I just checked and it’s right!
Answer:
(2, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to do this to avoid tedious fractions is to use the addition method (sometimes called the elimination method). We will work to eliminate one of the variables. Since the y values are smaller, let's work to get rid of those. That means we have to have a positive and a negative of the same number so they cancel each other out. We have a 2y and a 3y. The LCM of those numbers is 6, so we will multiply the first equation by a 3 and the second one by a 2. BUT they have to cancel out, so one of those multipliers will have to be negative. I made the 2 negative. Multiplying in the 3 and the -2:
3(-9x + 2y = -16)--> -27x + 6y = -48
-2(19x + 3y = 41)--> -38x - 6y = -82
Now you can see that the 6y and the -6y cancel each other out, leaving us to do the addition of what's left:
-65x = -130 so
x = 2
Now we will go back to either one of the original equations and sub in a 2 for x to solve for y:
19(2) + 3y = 41 so
38 + 3y = 41 and
3y = 3. Therefore,
y = 1
The solution set then is (2, 1)
