Frankie has 5 red marbles , 16 black marbles 3 green miniature balls and 9 yellow miniature balls in a jar at his house . What is the ratio on the number of the minimum balls to the number of black marbles in the jars

3:16

Step-by-step explanation:

5 red marbles.

16 black marbles.

3 green miniature balls.

9 yellow miniature balls.

We want to determine the ratio of the number of the minimum balls to the number of black marbles in the jars.

The minimum of a set of a number is the lowest value in that set of number. e.g. the minimum of 2,5,1 and 6 is 1.

Minimum Number of balls=3

Number of Black Marbles=16

Ratio of the number of the minimum balls to the number of black marbles in the jars is therefore given as:

3:16

so then what are you asking?

step-by-step explanation:

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

collect results in alphabetical order:

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1
