Answer: x= 2.5, y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to assume that these photocopies are proportional in relations to each other.
If they're proportional, you can set up two proportions:
[tex]1) \frac{x}{5} =\frac{3}{6} \\\\2) \frac{5}{y} =\frac{3}{6}[/tex]
And cross-multiply:
[tex]1) 6x = 5*3 \\\\2) 3y = 5*6[/tex]
Then solved for x and y:
[tex]1) 6x = 15\\x=\frac{15}{6} =\frac{5}{2} =2.5 \\\\2) 3y = 30\\y=\frac{30}{3} =10[/tex]
