9 contestants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the 16 contestants, 12 of them qualified for the bonus round.

This means, that 12/16, or 75% of the contestants qualified for the bonus round.

Out of the remaining 12 contestants, I would expect (75%)(12), or 9 contestants to qualify for the next bonus round.

8 contestants

Step-by-step explanation:

16 - 12 = 4

So we lost 4 contestants.

12 - 4 = 8

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation

6 and 24

step-by-step explanation:

6 x 4 = 24
