We can setup an equation for this.

Boys to Girls = 2:7
Boys =  x
Girls = 250+x
Setup the ratio 
 x:(250+x) = 2:7
x / (250+x) = 2/7
7x = 500+2x
7x-2x = 500
x = 500/5 =100

There are 100 boys at the concert

Answer:

100 boys at the concert

Step-by-step explanation:

At a country concert, the ratio of the number of boys to girls is 2:7

Let 'b' be the number of boys in the concert

there are 250 more girls than boys

so b+250 are the number of girls in the concert

the ratio of boys to girls is b: b+250

Now make a proportion using the ratio

\frac{2}{7} =\frac{b}{b+250}

Now solve for b . cross multiply the fraction

(b+250) \cdot 2= 7 \cdot b

2b+500= 7b

Subtract 2b from both sides

5b= 500

Divide both sides by 5

b=100

So there are 100 boys at the concert

Write the equation of the line that passes through (2, 3) and is parallel to the line 12x – 5y = 2.
zheka24 [161]
The first thing I'd do is put this equation into standard slope - intercept form. 

12x - 5y = 2               Subtract 12x from each side
-5y = -12x + 2            Divide each side by -5 to isolate the <em>y 
</em><em />y = 12/5(x) - 2/5    
     
 The slope for this equation is 12/5, so we just take that and plug it into the slope - intercept equation with the given points (2, 3)

y = mx + b                    Fill in the variables
3 = 12/5(2) + b             Simplify
3 = 24/5 + b                 Subtract 24/5 (or 4 4/5) from each side
-9/5 = b

Now we just fill in the correct variables (m and b) in the equation to have our final answer. 

y = 12/5x - 9/5

Write and solve an equation to find the number n.
garik1379 [7]
The unknown number is n. So n is the unknown variable in the equation.
In order to write an equation in which n is included we must know some dependence of n with other values.
We know that <span>the difference of three times a number and 44 is −19. So, we can write:
3*n-44=-19
3*n=-19+44
3*n=25
n=25/3
