Answer:

15\ girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of girls

y-----> the number of boys

we know that

x+y=27 -----> equation A

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{4}

isolate the variable y

y=\frac{4}{5}x -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

x+\frac{4}{5}x=27

\frac{9}{5}x=27

x=5*27/9=15\ girls

Let A represent the value of the car after each year.
A= initial value (P)×(1+percent increase(r)) ^time
A=P×(1+r)^t
A=18710×(1+(-12%))^8
A=18710×(1-12%)^8
A=18710×(1-0.12)^8
A=18710×(0.88)^8
A= 6728.7619591115
The best approximation is 6729
Therefore the value of the car will be about $6729 after 8 years
Your answer is B.

Please help quarter ends tomorrow and I don’t know what to do I’m failing all my classes
Nutka1998 [239]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -10, y = 10

y= -4x+4

m1×m2 = -1

-4 × m2 = -1

m2 = 1/4

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-10 = 1/4(x+10)

y-10 = 1/4x +10/4

(×4)

4y-40=x+10

4y=x+50

x-4y+50=0

A metal worker has several 1-kilogram bars of a metal alloy that contain 23% copper and several 1-kilogram bars that contain 79%
astraxan [27]

Answer:

30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the number of 1 kg 23% copper bars, and y is the number of 1 kg 79% copper bars, then:

x + y = 48

0.23x + 0.79y = 0.44(48)

Substituting and solving:

0.23x + 0.79(48-x) = 0.44(48)

0.23x + 37.92 - 0.79x = 21.12

16.8 = 0.56x

x = 30

y = 48 - x

y = 18

You need 30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars.
