Well the first thing you need to do is set up a proportion.
8 girls 56 girls
-------- = -----------
7 boys x
Now what we have to do is find out what we multiplied by 8 to get 56.
Simply divide.
56 ÷ 8 = 7
So, we figured out that the magic number is 7!
So we multiply the boy number by 7
7 x 7 = 49
So this means that there are 49 boys on the field trip.

Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to isolate the variable
3(x-4)=x+14
distribute
3x-12=x+14
subtract 14 from each side
3x-26=x
subtract 3x from each side
-26=-2x
divide each side by -2
13=x
flip sides
x=13
hope this helps!!! :)
Answer+Step-by-step explanation:
m = man's age
s = son's age
m=s+36
(m+8)=3*(s+8)
Resolves to: s=10, m=46
So the man is 46 (=10+36).
In 8 years, son is 18 (=10+8), man is 54 (=3*18 and 46+8), thank you.
