- 3x + y = 3
2y = -3x - 12

x=-2, y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

we can rearrange the questions to make it easier

y=3x+3

2y=-3x-12

if you add the two equations, you get

3y=0x-9

so y=-9/3 = -3

plug y into one of the equations

-3=3x+3

-6=3x

x=-2

and then check your work by plugging into the other equation:

2*-3=-3(-2)-12

-6=6-12

-6=-6

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
