Answer:

boys = 250

girls = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

5g = 3b       eq. 1

g + b = 400       eq. 2

g = girls

b = boys

From the eq. 2

g = 400 - b

Replacing this last eq. on eq. 1:

5(400-b) = 3b

5*400 + 5*-b = 3b

2000 - 5b = 3b

2000 = 3b + 5b

2000 = 8b

2000/8 = b

250 = b

From eq. 2

g + 250 = 400

g = 400 - 250

g = 150

Check:

from eq. 1

5*150 = 3*250  = 750

Suppose g (x) is increasing and concave up everywhere and g(A)=7, gprime(A)=13, h=.01
rewona [7]
First we need a point (x,y) : (A, 7) 
<span>Now slope (from f'(A)) = 15 </span>
<span>Next, the equation (using point slope formula) </span>

<span>y - 7 = 15 (x -A) </span>
<span>y = 15 (x - A) + 7 </span>

<span>Now in the x spot we put 'A-.01' </span>
<span>y = 15 ( A - .01 - A) +7= 15(-.01) +7 = -.15+ 7 = 6.85 
hope this helps</span>

How do I find and mean within the data set?
kvv77 [185]
The mean is like the average. you would add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers there are. in this case, add them all up and divide by 6 because there are 6 different numbers. this will give you your answer

Which is a correct two-column proof? Given: &lt;H and &lt;X are supplementary. prove: l || n
andriy [413]

Answer:

option-B

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

<H and <X are supplementary angles

so,

<H+<X=180

we know that

<H and <E are vertically opposite angles

so, they must be equal

<H=<E

we can plug it

<E+<X=180

It means that angle(E) and angle(X) are supplementary angles

and these two angles are same side interior angles

By using same side interior angles converse

so, line(l) and line(n) must be parallel

so, option-B
