Answer:11

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : girls=7:1

Sum of ratio=7+1=8

Let number of girls be y

Then number of boys=y+66

Total number of pupils=y+y+66

Total number of pupils=2y+66

girls only=(girl ratio)/(sum of ratio) x (total number of pupils)

y=1/8 x (2y+66)

Cross multiply

y x 8=2y + 66

8y=2y + 66

Collect like terms

8y-2y=66

6y=66

Divide both sides by 6

6y/6=66/6

y=11

There are 11 girls

Which of the following equations have infinitely many solutions? Choose all answers that apply: Choose all answers that apply: (
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

All options are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In option (A), the given equation is

x-37=x-37

Add 37 on both sides.

x-37+37=x-37+37

x=x

Subtract x from both sides.

x-x=x-x

0=0

LHS=RHS for all values of x. It means equation x-37=x-37 has infinite many solutions.

Similarly.

In option (B), the given equation is

73x-37=73x-37

73x=73x

0=0

LHS=RHS for all values of x. It means equation 73x-37=73x-37 has infinite many solutions.

In option (C), the given equation is

37x-37=37x-37

37x=37x

0=0

LHS=RHS for all values of x. It means equation 37x-37=37x-37 has infinite many solutions.

In option (D), the given equation is

74x-37=74x-37

74x=74x

0=0

LHS=RHS for all values of x. It means equation 74x-37=74x-37 has infinite many solutions.

Therefore, all options are correct.
