the gender of the kids does not matter so it can be discarded.
you add up how many boys and girls in the class to make a total of 50 kids
your 100% is 50
meaning 40% of 50 is 20
so if 20 kids took the bus to school then 30 did not take the bus.
I plugged it into my calculator and I got 1,870.
Plug in numbers in for x.
If you plug in 0 then you get 1. 1/0 is undefined
If you plug in 1 then you get 6. 6/1 is 6
If you plug in 2 then you get 11. 11/2 is 5.5
If you plug in 3 then you get 16. 16/3 is 5.3 repeating
If you plug in 4 then you get 21. 21/4 is 5.25
If you plug in 5 then you get 26. 26/5 is 5.2
It would only be proportional if you got the same answer after dividing each time.
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations for eq 1 which is 3x + y = 118 represents the Green High School which filled three buses(with a specific number of students identified as x) and a van(with a specific number of students identified as y) with a total of 118 students.
for eq 2; 4x + 2y = 164; represents Belle High School which filled four buses(with a specific number of students identified as x) and two vans(with a specific number of students identified as y) with a total of 164 students.
The solution represents the specific number of students in the buses and vans in eq1 and eq 2 with x being 36 students and y being 10 students.
substituting 36 for x and 10 for y in eq 1;
3(36) + 10 = 108 + 10 = 118 total students for Green High School
substituting 36 for x and 10 for y in eq2;
4(36) + 2(10) = 144 + 20 = 164 total students for Belle High school
