Let x = the number of boys.
Let y = the number of girls.

There are 48 children, therefore
x + y = 48 (1)

There are twice as many boys as girls, therefore
x = 2y (2)

Substitute (2) into (1).
2y + y = 48
3y = 48
y = 48/3 = 16
x = 2y = 2*16 = 32

x=32, y = 16

Answer: 16 girls

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ BCD is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus

∠ BCD = 50° + 60 = 110° → D

Use properties of limits and algebraic methods to find the limit, if it exists. (If the limit is infinite, enter '[infinity]' or

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The limit of this function does not exist.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\lim_{x \to 3} f(x)$

$f(x)=\left \{ {{9-3x} \quad if \>{x \>< \>3} \atop {x^{2}-x }\quad if \>{x\ \geq \>3 }} \right.$

To find the limit of this function you always need to evaluate the one-sided limits. In mathematical language the limit exists if

$\lim_{x \to a^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \to a^{+}} f(x) =L$

and the limit does not exist if

$\lim_{x \to a^{-}} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \to a^{+}} f(x)$

Evaluate the one-sided limits.

The left-hand limit

$\lim_{x \to 3^{-} } 9-3x= \lim_{x \to 3^{-} } 9-3*3=0$

The right-hand limit

$\lim_{x \to 3^{+} } x^{2} -x= \lim_{x \to 3^{+} } 3^{2}-3 =6$

Because the limits are not the same the limit does not exist.
