You have to be very careful how you set this up. For every girl (who counts as 1) there are 3 boys (who count as 3). The total number in the proportion is 3 + 1 =4. You are given a total, but that is both boys and girls. That's why you need the 4.
3/4 = x / 236 Cross multiply
4x = 3 * 236
4x = 708 Divide by 4
x = 708/4
x = 177
There are 177 boys at the school and 236 - 177 = 59 girls.
combining like terms in a polynomial is adding or subtracting together terms that have the same degree in the exponents.
example. 3x^3 + 5x^6 + 2x^3 +7x + 9x^6
= 7x + 5x^3 + 14x^6
X = small van capacity, y = larger van capacity
y = x + 6
2x + y = 57
now we sub in x + 6 for y
2x + x + 6 = 57
3x + 6 = 57
3x = 57 - 6
3x = 51
x = 51/3
x = 17
y = x + 6
y = 17 + 6
y = 23
small van (x) has 17 seats and large van (y) has 23 seats
Okay first I think you might’ve highlighted incorrectly. You want to make sure the angles match with each other. Next you set up a proportion and solve. I’ll draw this all out for you. I hope this helps! :))
