Salutations!

<span>The ratio of boys to girls in a school is 5:4. if there are 180 students, how many girls are there?

Let the number of girls and boys be 'x'.

</span>5x + 4x = 180
<span>
Add 5 and 4

</span>9x = 180
<span>
</span>x = 20
<span>
Now, multiply the ratios by 20.

Boys = 20 </span>× 5 = 100

Girls = 20 × 4 = 80.

There were 80 girls.

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!

Solve the question and check the solution. Express numbers as integers or simplified fractions. 5(m+5)=7m+9
Yanka [14]

Answer:

m = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

5(m+5)=7m+9   (distribute & evaluate parenthesis)

5(m)+5(5)=7m+9

5m + 25 = 7m + 9  (move all m-terms to one side and constants to the other)

5m - 7m = 9 - 25  (evaluate both sides)

-2m = -16 (divide both sides by -2)

m = (-16) / ( -2) = 8

Which of the following points solves the system shown below?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(3,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect like terms

y -5x = -9

y + 2x = 12

Using elimination method

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1

y - 5x = -9

y + 2x = 12

---------------

0. -7x = -21

Divide both sides by -7

-7x = -21

---- -----

-7 -7

x = 3

Substitute x=3 into equation 1

y = 5(3) - 9

y = 15 - 9

y = 6

Solution is (x,y) = (3,6)
