<span>With a boys to girls ratio of 8:7, this means 8/15 of the campers are boys and 7/15 of the campers are girls.
We are told that there are 195 total campers.
To find # of boys: 195 (the total # of campers) x 8/15 (fraction of the campers that are boys) = 104 boys
To find # of girls: 195 (total # of campers) x 7/15 (fraction of the campers that are girls) = 91 girls
Note: If you do not know how to multiply by fractions, let me know, I have another trick that takes more time but doesn't require the use of fractions.

Answer:
Simplifying
5x + 7y = -6
Solving
5x + 7y = -6
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-7y' to each side of the equation.
5x + 7y + -7y = -6 + -7y
Combine like terms: 7y + -7y = 0
5x + 0 = -6 + -7y
5x = -6 + -7y
Divide each side by '5'.
x = -1.2 + -1.4y
Simplifying
x = -1.2 + -1.4y

Simplifying
4x + 7y = -9
Solving
4x + 7y = -9
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-7y' to each side of the equation.
4x + 7y + -7y = -9 + -7y
Combine like terms: 7y + -7y = 0
4x + 0 = -9 + -7y
4x = -9 + -7y
Divide each side by '4'.
x = -2.25 + -1.75y
Simplifying
x = -2.25 + -1.75y
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms
-7x + 3x - 15y - 2y
-4x - 17y
Here, I'll help you a little
rewrite the equation as -6k/5 = 12
multiply both sides by 5
-6k=60
divide both sides by -6 to isolate k
k = -10
Hope this helps :)
QUESTION 12
The given figure has five unequal sides.
The perimeter is the distance around the figure.
So we add all the lengths of the sides of the rectangle to get,

We regroup the like terms to obtain,

This will simplify to give us,


QUESTION 13
The given figure has two pairs of sides that are equal in length and three unequal sides.
The perimeter can be found by adding all the lengths of the sides of the of the figure.
This will give us

We regroup like terms to obtain,

This finally simplifies to ,
.
