Answer:

1100

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole school population is represented by 100%, thus

number of girls = 100% - 55 = 45% of population

divide 900 by 45 to find 1% then multiply by 55 to find number of boys

number of boys = $\frac{900}{45}$ × 55 = 1100

Solve the equation for all values of x.<br> (8x+9)(49x^2-100)=0

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

$x = \frac{-9}{8} , \frac{-10}{7} , \frac{10}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+9=0

8x=-9

$x = \frac{-9}{8}$

$49x^{2}-100 = 0$

$(7x)^{2} -10^{2} =0$ ,

$(7x+10)(7x-10)=0$

$7x+10=0, 7x-10=0$

$7x=-10, 7x=10$

$x=-\frac{-10}{7}$ , $x = \frac{10}{7}$

In a city, 60% of the residents live in houses and 40% of the residents live in apartments. Of the people who live in houses, 20

Step2247 [10]

75%; so if we say there are 100 people in this city that means 60 of them live in houses and 40 of them live in apartments. Of the 60 living in houses 20% of them (12% of total population; 60 x .20) own their own business and those in apartments (40) 10% of them (4% of total pop.; 40 x .10) have their own business. In total 16 of the 100 people have businesses and 12 of those people live in houses so 12/16 equals .75. We multiply this by 100 to get the percent so there’s 75% that a person who owns a business in this city will also live in a house.

Find the value of r (5,9) (r,7) m=-4

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

r = 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

m = slope

slope, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

-4 = (7 - 9)/(r - 5)

cross multiply

-4(r - 5) = 7 - 9

clearing brackets

-4r + 20 = -2

-4r = -22

r = 22/4 = 11/2
