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.
Answer:
c = 15.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula:
a² + b² = c²
15² + 2² = c²
225 + 4 = c²
229 = c²

c = 15.1
Ab^2 (-bc & +bc would cancel out) but then -ab so the answer would just be ab
8/3 =2.6666
2.6666*2 =5.33333
