Answer:

Number of boys in 7th grade=34 boys

Number of girls in 7th grade=51 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of students in 7th grade=Number of boys+Number of girls

where;

Total number of students in 7th grade=85 students

Number of boys=x

Number of girls=(1 1/2)×Number of boys=(3/2)×x=1.5x

Replacing;

85=x+1.5x

2.5x=85

x=85/2.5

x=34

Number of boys=x=34

Number of girls=1.5x=1.5×34=51

Number of boys in 7th grade=34 boys

Number of girls in 7th grade=51 girls

Solve the inequality x divided by 6 is less than or equal to 3
Alja [10]
Your inequality looks like this:
\frac{x}{6}  \leq 3
To get rid of the /6, you need to multiply by 6 as the opposite operation cancels it out. So, all you need to do is multiply both sides by 6 to isolate x. 
Therefore:
x \leq 18
