Solve for X

Ax=b

Step-by-step explanation:

When working in the real numbers, the equations ax=b could be solved for x by dividing both sides of the equation by a to get x=b/a, as long as a wasnt zero. It would therefore seem logical that when working with matrices, one could take the matrix equation AX=B and divide both sides by A to get X=B/A

Nromally ratios are in 1:3 format
so I'm guessing that ratio fo winner:total=0.65:1

perople who voted for the winner was 0.65 of all the voters
so find 0.65 of 80
'of' can be translated to as mutliply
0.65 times 80=52

52 voters voted for the winnner
