The girls are 4/9 of the total number of boys and girls, so the total number is 9×96/4=216 and there are 5/9×216=120 boys.
Let the extra number of boys be b, then the total becomes 216+b. We have 96 girls and 120+b boys.
The ratio 2/3=96/(120+b).
Cross multiplying: 2(120+b)=3×96=288.
240+2b=288, 2b=288-240=48, b=24.
So 24 boys arrived.

Find the value of the variable plz help
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

8y + 36 = 14y -24                Subtract 36 to both sides

8y = 14y - 24 - 36               Combine

8y = 14y - 60                       Subtract 14y from both sides

8y - 14y = - 60

-6y = -60                             Divide by - 6

-6y/-6 = -60/-6

y = 10

===========================

x +48 = 64                        Subtract 48 from both sides

x +48 - 48 = 64-16

x = 16

How can I solve this question???
eduard

Answer:

144°

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the measure of the central angle of the regular pentagon

Divide 360 degrees by 5 (the number of sides)

360\°/5=72\°

Let

c----> the center of the pentagon

we know that

m∠ECA=72°

m∠ACB=72°

therefore

m∠ECB=m∠ECA+m∠ACB

substitute the values

m∠ECB=72°+72°=144°

The measure of angle ECB is equal to the degrees that the pentagon rotate

The simplest form of the expression -2x2(x – 5) + x(2x2 – 10x) + x is
Bad White [126]
For this case you must simplify the expression respecting the rules of multiplication of mathematics.
 The steps to simplify the expression are the following:
 First multiply what is in the parentheses
  -2x ^ 2 (x - 5) + x (2x ^ 2 - 10x) + x
  -2x ^ 3 + 10x ^ 2 + 2x ^ 3 - 10x ^ 2 + x
 Then add the terms that have the same exponent
 (-2x ^ 3 + 2x ^ 3) + (10x ^ 2 - 10x ^ 2) + x
  x
 The final simplification is
