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.

6) Two coastguard stations P and Q are 17km apart, with due East of P. A ship S is observed in distress on a bearing 048° fromP
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The ship S is at 10.05 km to coastguard P, and 12.70 km to coastguard Q.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance of the ship to coastguard P be represented by x, and its distance to coastguard Q be represented by y.

But,

<P = 048°

<Q = 360^{o} - 324^{o}

     = 036^{o}

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180^{o}

<P + <Q + <S = 180^{o}

048° + 036^{o} + <S = 180^{o}

84^{o} + <S = 180^{o}

<S  = 180^{o} -  84^{o}

    = 96^{o}

<S = 96^{o}

Applying the Sine rule,

\frac{y}{Sin P} = \frac{x}{Sin Q} = \frac{z}{Sin S}

\frac{y}{Sin P} = \frac{z}{Sin S}

\frac{y}{Sin 48^{o} } = \frac{17}{Sin 96^{o} }

\frac{y}{0.74314} = \frac{17}{0.99452}

⇒ y = \frac{12.63338}{0.99452}

       = 12.703

y = 12.70 km

\frac{x}{Sin Q} = \frac{z}{Sin S}

\frac{x}{Sin 36^{o} } = \frac{17}{Sin 96^{o} }

\frac{x}{0.58779} = \frac{17}{0.99452}

⇒ x = \frac{9.992430}{0.99452}

      = 10.0475

x = 10.05 km

Thus,

the ship S is at a distance of 10.05 km to coastguard P, and 12.70 km to coastguard Q.

Two concentric circles with different radii share how many common tangent lines?
Dominik [7]
The answer is a.0

Concentric means these circles would have the same center, thus, the smaller circle must be inside the bigger circle. Any tangent line to the smaller circle wont be a tangent line to the bigger circle, since that tangent line would intersect at the bigger circle at 2 points. Any tangent line to the big circle will not touch the small circle... so the answer would be 0.
