No. of boys=2x
no.of girls=x
total no. of pupils=2x+x
27=3x
27/3=x
x=no.of girls=9
no.of boys =2x=2*9=18

Let x = the numbers of girls
thus
the numbers of boys = 2x
x + 2x = 27
3x = 27
x = 9
2x = 2 . 9 =18
girls = 9 & boys = 18

A coordinate plane from negative 8 to 8 along the x-axis and from negative 7 to 7 along the y-axis. Which steps should be used t

sdas [7]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y-4=\frac{1}{3}(x+2)$

This is the equation of a line in point slope form

where

the point is (-2,4)

the slope is m=1/3

Remember that the formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)

To graph the line

1. Plot the point (–2,4).

2. From that point, count left 3 units and down 1 unit and plot a second point.

3. Draw a line through the two points

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the recursive formula

$a_{n}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ $a_{n-1}$ with a₁ = 1, then

a₂ = $\frac{1}{2}$ a₁ = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 1 = $\frac{1}{2}$

a₃ = $\frac{1}{2}$ a₂ = $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$
