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

which statements about the system are true? check all that apply. y = x – 4 3y – x = –7 the system has one solution. the system
Dmitrij [34]
The slope of the first equation has a slope of one and a y intercept of -4. The second equation has a y intercept of -2.3333 as seen when plugging in 0 for x, so the same y-intercept and same line are out of the question. This means either they have the same slope and thus are parallel or intersect at some point. A simple way to find out? Plug in 1 for x on the second. If it isn't -1.33333, which is a slope of positive 1 such as in the first equation, they WILL INTERSECT somewhere. When plugging in 1, we get
 3y - 1 = -7
3y = -6
y = -2
(1, -2) is the next point after (0, -2.3333)
That means it is most certainly not the same slope, and thus they will intersect at some point. The two slopes are 1/1 and 1/3 if you weren't aware.

Use the formula S A = 6s2 , where S A is the surface and s is the edge length of the cube , to solve his problem.
Gennadij [26K]
To find the surface area of the cube using the formula, you would substitute in 2 1/2 for the length of the side.

SA = 6 x 2.5 x 2.5
SA = 37.5 ft.²

You are finding the area of one face (2.5 x 2.5) and multiplying it by six because there are six groups of this.

Andrea's Sequoia gets 12 miles per gallon while driving in the city, and 20 miles per gallon while on the highway. The last time
Oxana [17]

Answer:

60miles

Step-by-step explanation:

if they drove x miles in the city and y miles on the highway then you know that

x + y = 280

x/12 + y/20 = 16

x + 12y/20 = 16*12 = 192

8y/20 = 88

y = 220

x = 280-y = 280-220 = 60
