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

If x = 3, what value of y makes the following equation true? 8x - 3y = 12
Andrews [41]

Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug 3 in for 'x' in the equation and solve for 'y'...

8(3) - 3(y) = 12

   24 - 3y = 12

       -3y = -12

             y = 4

Find the next term of the following sequence.<br><br> 25, 10, 4,
arlik [135]

The given sequence is 25, 10, 4.

Notice that this is a geometric sequence because here we have equal common ratio.

So, common ratio : r = \frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}

= \frac{10}{25}

= 0.4

So, each term is 0.4 times of it's previous term.

Hence, to get the next term of this sequence, multiply 0.4 with the third term 4.

So, fourth / next term = 4* 0.4 =1.6

Hence, next term of this sequence is 1.6.

Hope this helps you!

kondaur [170]

Answer:

  -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation has a y-intercept of 8, so goes through the point (0, 8).

If the line also goes through the point (2, 6) it has a slope of ...

  (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (6 -8)/(2 -0) = -2/2 = -1

The slope of the line is -1.

_____

The value of A is -2.

Is an experimental study

Step-by-step explanation:

In an observational study you don't control any aspect of the investigation you just observe the variables that you determined since the beginning without any intervention.

In this case you are controlling who sees one or the other video, then you are controlling one of the variables that is the type of video each group sees and because of this it is an experimental study. Researchers designed an experiment to prove the null hypothesis they had.
