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

I need help. I am making a shelf. The side is 19” tall. There are 8 shelves. How far apart do I put them?

Generally speaking, 19/8 is 2.375 so they should be 28.5 inches apart. however you gotta factor in how thick the shelves themselves are :)

For each ordered pair (x, y), determine whether it is a solution to the inequality 4x+8y5-8. Is it a solution? Yes No O (6, – 4)
avanturin [10]

Given inequality is:

4x+8y\leq-8

Now for (6,-4), Put x=6 nd y=-4 in given inequality:

\begin{gathered} 4(6)+8(-4)\leq-8 \\ 24-32\leq-8 \\ -8\leq-8 \end{gathered}

So for (6,-4) this inequality is true.

For (-2,-3) put x=-2 and y=-3 in given inequality:

\begin{gathered} 4(-2)+8(-3)\leq-8 \\ -8-24\leq-8 \\ -32\leq-8 \end{gathered}

As -32 is less than -8 then this condition is also true.

simillarly you can check for other options also.

For (-7,5) Put x=-7 and y=5 in given inequality:

\begin{gathered} 4(-7)+8(5)\leq-8 \\ -28+40\leq-8 \\ 12\leq-8 \end{gathered}

As 12 is grater than -8 so this condition is false.

And for (-6,0) put x=-6 and y=0 in given inequality:

\begin{gathered} 4(-6)+8(0)\leq-8 \\ -24\leq-8 \end{gathered}

As -24 is less than -8 so it is true.

One number is 10 times as large as another, and their difference is 81. Find the numbers.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Let x = smaller number.


So for this, our larger number equation is 10x, and to find what x is, we have to set it to 81. Our equation will be 10x-x=81


Firstly, combine like terms: 9x=81


Next, divide 9 on both sides of the equation, and your answer should be x=9 .


Now that we know that the smaller number is 9, just multiply that by 10 to get 90.


And in short, the smaller number is 9 and the larger number is 90.


If x represented the smaller number, then the larger number is 10x.
