One-third of the people from country a claim that they are from country b, and the rest admit they are from country a. one-fourth of the people from country claim that they are from country a, and the rest admit they are from country b. in a combined census of the two countries, one-half of the total claimed to be from a. what is the ratio of the populations of country a to that of country b.

Type the correct answer in the box. consider the system of linear equations below. rewrite one of the two equations above in the form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants, so that the sum of the new equation and the unchanged equation from the original system results in an equation in one variable.
