Let b=# of boys
Let g=# of girls
B+g=40
G=2b-5
Sub g into first equation and solve for b
B+2b-5=40
3b-5=40
3b=40+5
3b=45
B=45/3
B=15
Sub B into the second equation
G=2b-5
G=2(15)-5
G=30-5
G=25
Hope this helps!

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

h= 4.6, c=7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to know in a 30 60 90 triangle the sides ratios are x, 2x and x√3, and for 45 90 45 it is x, x and x√2

so <em>h</em> is 8/√3 and you rationalize the bottom so it becomes 8√3/3. when you solve this and round to nearest hundred it becomes 4.6. for the second one, it is 5√2 and when you solve this and round, it becomes 7.1

Please help with this
Setler [38]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is

28/8 = 7/2

We take the ratio of the larger side over the smaller side

Using ratios we can find the sides

28         21

----- = ---------

8           x

Using cross products

28x = 21*8

28x =168

Divide each side by 28

28x/28 = 168/28

x =6
