Answer: \(x+y=48\)
\(\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{5}{7}\Rightarrow\ 7x=5y\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of males on the ride. Let y represent the number of females on the ride.
As per given , we have ,
\(x+y=48---(i)\)
\(\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{5}{7}\Rightarrow\ 7x=5y---(ii)\)
From (i) and (ii), the required two linear equations form a system that you can use to find the number of males and the number of females on the ride are :
\(x+y=48\)
\(\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{5}{7}\Rightarrow\ 7x=5y\)
