Answer:

The number of boys in the school is;

625

Explanation:

Given that the ratio of boys to girls in a school is 5:4;

5\colon4

And there are 500 girls in the school.

The number of boys in the school will be;

\begin{gathered} \frac{B}{G}=\frac{5}{4} \\ G=500 \\ B=\frac{5\times G}{4}=\frac{5\times500}{4} \\ B=625 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the number of boys in the school is;

625

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

4 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

If their sum is 9, hence;

x + y = 9 ....1

When reversed

10y+x = 2(10x+y)

10y+x = 20x + 2y

10y - 2y = 20x - x

8y = 19x

y = 10x/8 ...2

Substitute equation 2 into 1;

From 1;

x+y = 9

x +(10x/8) = 9

18x/8 = 9

18x = 72

x = 72/18

x = 4

Since x+y =9

y = 9-x

y =9-4

y = 5

Hence the numbers are 4 and 5

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 144 square feet. Its length is 10 feet longer than the width. Find the length and wi
denpristay [2]

Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l and w be length and width, respectively. Then:

lw=144   and

l=w+10

So:

w(w+10)=144

w²+10w-144=0

(w+18)(w-8)=0

w=8 as the width ................

arsen [322]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. The figure is composed of a triangle and a rectangle.

Area of the triangle = ½*base*height

base = 4 ft

height = 12 - 8 = 4ft

Area of triangle = ½*4*4 = 8 ft²

Area of rectangle = length * width

Length = 8 ft

Width = 4 ft

Area of rectangle = 8*4 = 32 ft²

✔️Area of the figure = 8 + 32 = 40 ft²

2. The figure is composed of a semicircle and a triangle

Area of the semicircle = ½(πr²)

radius (r) = 3 cm

π = 3

Area = ½(3*3²) = 13.5 cm²

Area of triangle = ½*base*height

base = 3*2 = 6 cm

height = 6 cm

Area = ½*6*6 = 6 cm²

✔️Area of the figure = 13.5 + 6 = 19.5 cm²

Given P(x) = 2x3+ 3x2- x + 4, find P(0) and P(-2).
pshichka [43]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  P(0) = 4

  P(-2) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the value where the variable is and do the arithmetic.

  P(0) = 2·0³ +3·0² -0 +4

  P(0) = 4

__

  P(-2) = 2·(-2)³ +3·(-2)² -(-2) +4 = 2(-8) +3(4) +2 +4

  P(-2) = -16 +12 +2 +4

  P(-2) = 2
