The class is made up of male and female students.

"A drama class has a total of 26 students"

f + m = 26

"The number of females is 16 less than the number of males"

f = m - 16

Substitute the second equation into the first.

m - 16 + m = 26

- combine like terms -

2m - 16 = 26

- add 16 to both sides -

2m = 42

- divide by 2 -

m = 21

Now substitute that answer into either equation

f + 21 = 26

- subtract both sides by 21 -

f = 5

Remember that whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other

In Triangle ABC shown below, side AB is 6 and side AC is 4.
Amanda [17]

Answer: A is the correct option.Segment AD is 3 and segment AE is 2.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A triangle ABC  where AC=4 and AB=6

then to prove segment DE is parallel to segment BC and half its length.

the length of AD and AE must divide AC and AB respectively to get the same ratio of 2:1

To apply converse of basic proportionality theorem.

If we take first option Segment AD is 3 and segment AE is 2 then

\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{6}{3}=\frac{2}{1},\frac{AC}{AE}=\frac{4}{2}=\frac{2}{1}\\\Rightarrow\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{AC}{AE}

Therefore by converse of basic proportionality theorem

DE is parallel to segment BC and half its length.

Therefore A is correct option.

Write a fraction that is equivalent to 7/10 = _ /_
labwork [276]
A fraction that is equivalent to \frac{a}{b} will have the form \frac{a\times A}{b\times B}, where A and B are equivalent and factors that are multiplied in.
The product fraction should be easily simplified using A and B to get the original fraction.

<em>In the case of your fraction </em>\frac{7}{10} you will need to find a fraction which is a product of this: \frac{7\timesA}{10\timesB},A=B
