<h3>Question -:</h3>

The ratio of boys and girls in a classroom is 2 : 3 respectively. If the total number of children is 20. How many boys are there in the class ?

<h3>Explanation -:</h3>

In this question we are provided with the ratio of boys isto girls that is 2 : 3 it is also given that total number of children are 20. We are asked to calculate number of boys.

\green{ \small \pmb{\tt{ First  \: we  \: will \:  form  \: an \:  equation }}}

<u>Let </u><u>us </u><u>assume </u><u>the </u><u>number </u><u>of </u><u>girls </u><u>as </u><u>3</u><u>x </u><u>and </u><u>number </u><u>of </u><u>boys </u><u>as </u><u>2</u><u>x</u><u>.</u>

Total number of children = 20

3x + 2x = 20

\orange{\small \pmb{\tt{ Now \:  we \:  will \:  solve \:  this \:  equation }}}

\small\frak{ 3x + 2x = 20}

\small\frak{ 5x = 20}

\small\frak{ x =  \dfrac{20}{5}  = 4}

\small \underline{ \boxed{\pmb{x = 4} }}  \large \: \star

Boys = 2 × 4 = 8

Girls = 3 × 4 = 12

  • Hence 8 boys and 12 girls are there in the classroom.

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ratio constant be 'x'

=> 2x:3x

sum = 2x + 3x = 5x

Total number of boys

=>(2x/5x)20 = 8

Prove the following statements: (a) For every integer x, if x is even, then for every integer y, xy is even. (b) For every integ
Murrr4er [49]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Given that x and y is even, we want to prove that xy is also even.

For x and y to be even, x and y have to be a multiple of 2. Let x = 2k and y = 2p where k and p are real numbers. xy = 2k x 2p = 4kp = 2(2kp). The product is a multiple of 2, this means the number is also even. Hence xy is even when x and y are even.

(b) in reality, if an odd number multiplies and odd number, the result is also an odd number. Therefore, the question is wrong. I assume they wanted to ask for the proof that the product is also odd. If that's the case, then this is the proof:

Given that x and y are odd, we want to prove that xy is odd. For x and y to be odd, they have to be multiples of 2 with 1 added to it. Therefore, suppose x = 2k + 1 and y = 2p + 1 then xy = (2k + 1)(2p + 1) = 4kp + 2k + 2p + 1 = 2(kp + k + p) + 1. Let kp + k + p = q, then we have 2q + 1 which is also odd.

(c) Given that x is odd we want to prove that 3x is also odd. Firstly, we've proven above that xy is odd if x and y are odd. 3 is an odd number and we are told that x is odd. Therefore it follows from the second proof that 3x is also odd.

If angle A is (2x+8) degrees and Angle B is (2x+8) and A and B are supplementary angles....what is measurement of angle B?​
atroni [7]
<h3>Supplementary Angles:</h3>

Angles which adds up to 180°.

<h3>Given:</h3>

A = 2x + 8

B = 2x + 8

<h3>To Find:</h3>

The measurement of B.

<h3>Solution:</h3>

A + B = 180°

or, 2x + 8 + 2x + 8 = 180°

or, 4x + 16 = 180°

or, 4x = 180 - 16 = 164°

or, x = 164/4 = 41°

<h2>Answer:</h2>

B = 2x + 8 = 2(41) + 8 = 82 + 8 = 90°

<u>B</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>9</u><u>0</u><u>°</u>

____ [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(10 - 8)/(-21 + 9)= 12/-12= -1

y - 8 = -1(x + 9)

y - 8 = -x - 9

y = -x - 1
