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

How many solutions exist for the given equation? 0.75(x 40) = 0.35(x 20) 0.35(x 20) zero one two infinitely many
zimovet [89]

Answer:

One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

0.75 (x + 40) = 0.35 (x + 20) + 0.35 (x + 20)

0.75x + 30 = 0.35x + 7 + 0.35x + 7

0.75x + 30 = 0.7x + 14

0.05x + 30 = 14

0.05x = -16

x = -320

Hope this helps!
