X=number of boys.
y=number of girls.
we suggest this system of equation
x/y=9/7
x=y+116
We solve this system of equation by substitution method.
(y+116)/y=9/7
7(y+116)=9y
7y+812=9y
9y-7y=812
2y=812
y=812/2=406

x=y+116
x=406+116=522

answer: At the school there are 522 boys and 406 girls.

to chek.
522/406=1.2857...
9/7=1.2857...

The number of boys (522) is equal to 406+116=522.

Let x be a number of boys and y be a number of girls.
Then x:y=9:7, that is 7x=9y; and we have x-y=116.
Thus, x=116+y
7(116+y)=9y
7*116+7y=9y
2y=7*116
y=7*58=406
x=406+116=522
Total number of students is x+y=522+406=928.

What is the domain of g(x) = sqrt x +1
Shkiper50 [21]
There can be no negative in a sqrt 
so x+1 must be equal or greater then 0
x+1\geq 0
x \geq -1
so all answers must be greater then  or equal to -1
-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
(-1,infinity) is the domain

Question 4 of 25
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for P(58 < x < 64). We need to find the percentage to the left of the z-scores for each of these numbers. To find the z scores, use the formula:

z=\frac{x_i-\bar{x}}{\sigma}

z=\frac{58-62}{4} which gives us a z-score of -1. The percentage of numbers to the left of a z-score of -1 is .1586553

Now for the other z-score:

z=\frac{64-64}{4} which gives us a z-score of .5. The percentage of numbers to the left of a z-score of .5 is .69146246

The lower percentage subtracted from the higher gives the area in question:

.69146246 - .1586553 = .53280716, or as a percentage, 53.3%, choice A.
