X=number of girls.
y=number of boys.
We can suggest this system of equations:
2/7 x=3/5 y ⇒10x=21y   ⇒x=21/10 y
y=x-165 

We can solve this problem by substitution method:
x=(21/10)(x-165)
10x=21x-3465
10x-21x=-3465
-11x=-3465
x=-3465 /-11=315

y=x-165=315-165=150

Number of children=number of girls + number of boys
Number of children=315 +150=465

Answer: there were 465 children  at the festival.

Which of the following statements regarding the expansion of (x + y)^n are correct?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

A, B and D are true statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a binomial expansion

(x+y)^n=^nC_0x^ny^0+^nC_1x^{n-1}y^1+^nC_2x^{n-2}y^2+...........+^nC_nx^0y^n

(x+y)^n=x^n+nx^{n-1}y+^nC_2x^{n-2}y^2+...........nxy^{n-1}+y^n

Now we will check each option

Option A: The coefficients of x^n and y^n both equal 1.

If we see first and last term of the expansion, This statement is true.

Option B: For any term x^ay^b in the expansion, a + b = n.

Let we take 3rd term of expansion ^nC_2x^{n-2}y^2

Here, a=n-2 and b=2

If we do  a+b = n-2+2=n

a+b=n is true statement.

Option C: For any term x^ay^b in the expansion, a - b = n.

Let we take 3rd term of expansion ^nC_2x^{n-2}y^2

Here, a=n-2 and b=2

If we do  a-b = n-2-2=n-4≠n

a-b=n is false statement.

Option D: The coefficients of x^ay^b and x^by^a are equal.

If we take second term from beginning and last of the expansion.

\text{Coefficient From beginning } nx^{n-1}y=n

\text{From last } nxy^{n-1}=n

This statement true.

What is 20% of 50 (show work)
seraphim [82]
X/50 = 20/100 

its takes adding 30 to 20 to get to 50 so add 30 to 100 then its 130/100 (130 over 100) and then divide that and its 13 = 13%

i think its right dont hold it against me if im wrong
