Answer:

the value of x = 9 and y =11.

Given the system of equation:

12x + 4y =152 .......[1]

32x + 12y = 420 ......[2]

Multiply equation [1] by 3 we get;

Using distributive property:

......[3]

On solving equation [2] and [3] simultaneously we get;

x = 9

Substitute the value of x= 9 in [1] to solve for y;

108 + 4y = 152

Subtract 108 from both sides we have;

108 + 4y -108 = 152- 108

Simplify:

4y = 44

Divide both sides by 4 we get;

Simplify:

y= 11

therefore, the value of x = 9 and y =11.

IRINA_888 [86]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. The circumference (c) of a circle is the diameter of a circle x pi. c = d(pi) = 14pi.

step 2. The area (A) of a circle is the radius of a circle squared x pi. The radius of a circle is 1/2 x the diameter. A = (14/2)^2(pi) = 49pi.

On the last day of school, Mrs. Awesome gave jelly beans to her class. She gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys

professor190 [17]

Answer:

28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of girls in the class. There were two more boys than girls in her class, then the number of boys is x + 2.

Mrs. Awesome gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys in the class, so each of x + 2 boys got x + 2 jelly beans, so

Number of boys = x + 2

Number of jelly beans each boy got = x + 2

Total number of jelly beans all boys got = (x + 2)(x + 2)

Mrs. Awesome gave each girl as many jelly beans as there were girls in the class, so each of x girls got x jelly beans, so

Number of girls = x

Number of jelly beans each girl got = x

Total number of jelly beans all girls got = (x)(x)

Hence,

Total number of jelly beans class got = (x + 2)(x + 2) + (x)(x)

Mrs. Awesome brought 400 jelly beans, and when she finished, she had six jelly beans left, so she gave 400 - 6 = 394 jelly beans to the calss.

So,

$(x+2)(x+2)+(x)(x)=394\\ \\x^2+2x+2x+4+x^2=394\\ \\2x^2+4x+4-394=0\\ \\2x^2+4x-390=0\\ \\x^2+2x-195=0\\ \\D=2^2-4\cdot (-195)=4+780=784\\ \\\sqrt{D}=28\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-2\pm 28}{2\cdot 1}=-15,\ 13$
