Answer:

hello : 27 boys and 9 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

x : number of boys

y : number of number of

x/y = 3 ....(1)

x+y = 36 ....(2)

by (1) : x= 3y

put the value of x in (2) : 3y +y =36

4y = 36

divid by 4 : y = 9

put y = 9 in (2) : x + 9 = 36

x+9 -9 = 36 -9

x = 27

well, if you add the numbers 3+1 you get 4. from this we know that there are 4 units total. 36÷4=9 so each unit is equal to 9. we can multiply 9•3 to get 27. there are 27 boys. we can multiply 9•1 to get 9 girls. subtracting 9 from 27, we get 18 more boys that girls.

tara has two bags of marbles. the first bag contains 6 red marbles , 5 blue marbles and 4 green marbles tara will recomendly sel
vodka [1.7K]

well, in order to solve this we can put each marble into a fraction.

so for blue it would be 5 over 15 (5/15)

because there are 15 marbles in the bag but only 5 of them are blue!

but if you need a % then just divide the top by bottom

then you get a 33% chance of picking blue! hope this helps!

For f(x) = -1/5x - 14 find x when f (x) = -8
sergejj [24]

Hi!

30 = x

f(x) = -1/5x - 14 find x when f (x) = -8

Set the equation equal to -8

-8 = -1/5x - 14

Add 14 to both sides.

6 = -1/5x

Multiply both sides by -5.

30 = x

Hope this helps! :D

Tyree is determining the distance of a segment whose endpoints are A(–4, –2) and B(–7, –7).
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Tyree’s solution is inaccurate. In step 1, he substituted incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the distance between two point A(-4, -2) and B(-7, -7) we use the following distance formula

d=\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1}  )^2 \\\\

x1=-4, x2=-7

y1=-2, y2=-7

so,

d=\sqrt{(-7-(-4))^2+(-7-(-2)  )^2\\}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-7+4)^2+(-7+2)^2 }\\\\d=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-5)^2 }\\\\\\\\d=\sqrt{9+25}\\ \\d=\sqrt{34}
