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

3(x + 1) = -2 (x - 1) -4
AlekseyPX

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

use distribution

3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4

simplify

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

combine like terms

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

-3x                -3x

3 = -5x - 2

+2         +2

5 = -5x

/-5     /-5

-1 = x

Find the length of the missing side. PLEASE HURRY
Margarita [4]

Answer:

C. 40in

Step-by-step explanation:

a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2} \\

so...

24^{2} +32^{2} =c^{2}

24^{2} = 576\\32^{2} =1024

576+1024=1600

\sqrt{1600} = 40

the missing side = 40in

Evaluate 90 divided by X to the second power + y
Arlecino [84]

Answer:  =34

=3⋅3⋅3⋅3

=81

For example, 3 to the power of -4:

=3−4

=134

=13⋅3⋅3⋅3

=181

=0.012346

Step-by-step explanation: the solution is expanded when the base x and exponent n are small enough to fit on the screen. Generally, this feature is available when base x is a positive or negative single digit integer raised to the power of a positive or negative single digit integer. Also, when base x is a positive or negative two digit integer raised to the power of a positive or

negative single digit integer less than 7 and greater than -7.

hopefully this is right :/
