Answer:

The ratio of boys to girls to 5:7

Let the number of boys be 5x

Let the number of girls be 7x

5x = 30

x = 6

Now just plug in 6 for the x in 7x

and number of girls 7 x 6 = 42

Simplify the ration expression
$\frac{3x-6}{x-2}$

start by seeing if anything in the numerator or denominator can be factored,
you should notice that you can factor out a 3 from 3x-6 in the numerator

when you do so, the result is
$\frac{3 *(x-2)}{x-2}$

now, since there is an x-2 in the numerator and denominator, they "cancel" out since

$\frac{x-2}{x-2} =1$
however, only when $x \neq 2$
since $\frac{0}{0} \neq 1$

when you cancel out the x-2, you're left with 3

hence, your answer is C

Write an expression that has four terms. your expression should have three different variables and a constant

Katyanochek1 [597]

A term is a number or variable in a math sentence (such as an expression or equation).

Example:

a + 2b + c + 5

5 is a constant; a,b, c are all variables.

The vertices of a triangle are (-1.3) (-5,3) (-5,7) how would you reflect the triangle in the x-axis and in the y-axis ? Give th

grandymaker [24]

Simple way to see it is to multiply the value opposite of the axis you're flipping it over by -1. For example the point (-5,7) would become (5,7) when reflected over the y-axis, because the point is moving from the left to the right. This means the triangle would be (1,3) (5,3) and (5,7) when reflected over the y-axis. For reflection over the x-axis it would be (-1,-3) (-5,-3) and (-5,-7) because each point is moving down.
