A club has 86 members, and there are 14 more girls than boys. how many boys and how many girls are members of the club?

1 answer:

6 0

X = boy count
x + 14 = girl count

x +x +14 = 86
2x + 14 = 86
2x = 72
x = 36
x + 14 = 50

There are 36 boys and 50 girls. Hope this helps!

Answer:

$x = 3 + 4\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

OPQ is a right angle triangle.

Using Pythagoras

$x^{2} + (x+5)^{2} = (x+8)^{2}\\x^{2} + x^{2} + 10x +25 = x^{2} + 16x + 64\\x^{2} + x^{2} - x^{2} + 10x - 16x + 25 - 64 = 0\\x^{2} - 6x -39 = 0$

Using quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\x = \frac{-(-6) \± \sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4(1)(-39)}}{2(1)}\\x = \frac{6}{2} \± \frac{\sqrt{192}}{2}\\x = 3 \± \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{2}\\x = 3 \± 4\sqrt{3}$
