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.

What is the slope of the line that cuts through the points (1, -5) and (3, 5)?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope, subtract the y's.

5 - -5 is 10.

Put that on the top of a fraction.

Subtract the x's.

3 - 1 is 2, put that on the bottom of the fraction.

So the slope is 10/2. This simplifies to 5 (because 10÷2 is 5).

The slope is 5.

The base of a triangle is 7 cm greater than the height. the area is 60 cm squared. find the height and base of the triangle.
tino4ka555 [31]
Base=x+7 Height=x Area=60. 60=((x+7)(x))/2----->60=(x^2+7x)/2

120=x^2+7x X^2+7X-120=0. QUDRATIC FORMULA: -7+/- SQRT(49+480)/2

(-7+/-23)/2... 8 and -15. -15 ISNT the answer because you cant have a negative length. X=8 Base=8+7---->15 Height=8
