Suppose that three out of five voters support a candidate. If 1,240 voters support the candidate, how many voters participated in the election in all? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

2067 voters

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that three out of five voters support a candidate.

This means 3/5 votes support a candidate

Let the total number rod candidates be represented as x

If 1,240 voters support the candidate,

how many voters participated in the election in all?

Hence,

3/5 of x = 1240 voters.

3/5 × x = 1240

3x /5 = 1240

Cross Multiply

3x = 1240 × 5

x = 1240 × 5/3

x = 2066.6666667 voters

Approximately to the nearest whole number:

2067 voters

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
