Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 8 = 42 because x = boys and x + 8 = girls

2x = 34 because 2x = 42 - 8

x = 17

i hope this helps! you don't need the 2x = 42 - 8 to be an equation ;)

Can someone answer each step of this correctly?

Burka [1]

About Slope - Intercept Form:

y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

About Standard Form:

Ax + By = C
A & B & C are integers
A & B are both non-zero
This form is good to use when wanting to find the x & y intercepts of a line

About Point - Slope Form:

Y - Y1 = m (x -X1)
Y1 & X1 is a point on the line
The form allows you to identify the slope & the point on the line

Other Info:

Remember, y comes before the x
An ordered pair from your problem: (-3,1), -3 is x & 1 is y & x is before the y
An ordered pair from your problem: (3,5), 3 is x & 5 is y & x is before the y
For the graph, the vertical line is y

For the graph, the horizontal line is x

Hope this information helps!!! :)

Help me out please. i need to find the function rule,

Ksivusya [100]

Replace x in the equations and see which one gets the matching y :

-5(0) = 0 +1 = 1

-5(1) = -5 + 1 = -4

-5(-1) = 5 +6 = 6

The first equation works.

Can anybody explain how to subtract mixed fractions?

Ilya [14]

Answer:

convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions (where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator): multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator, add that to the numerator, write the result on top of the denominator.
if the denominators are not the same, work out the common denominator and rewrite the fractions with the same denominators
subtract by subtracting the numerators and writing the result over the denominator
convert back to mixed fractions by dividing the numerator by the denominator, write down the whole number answer, write down the remainder above the denominator.

Example

$3\frac23-1\frac45$
