1. Let's call the number of carter school: "x" and "y" the number of alternative school.  Then, you have that:

 - T<span>he number of charter schools is 4 less than twice the number of alternative schools.
</span> - T<span>here are 48 charter schools in the country.

 2. So, you have:

 x=2y-4  (i)

 x=48  (ii)

 3. Then, when you substitute x=48 into the equation (i), you obtain:
</span>
 x=2y-4
<span> 48=2y-4

 4. Now, you must clear "y, as below:

 48+4=2y
 2y=52
 y=52/2
 y=26
 </span><span>
 How many alternative schools are in the county?
</span><span>
 The answer is: There are 26 alternative schools.</span>

Solve the inequality -2(y + 5) + 20 &gt; 6.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

y < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2(y + 5) + 20 > 6 ← distribute and simplify left side

- 2y - 10 + 20 > 6

- 2y + 10 > 6 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

- 2y > -4

Divide both sides by - 2, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

y < 2

The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 4:1. If there are 33 more boys than girls, work out how many people there are in total.
MissTica

Total number of people is 55

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given ratio between boys and girls is 4:1. Let number of girls be x, so number of boys = 33 + x

⇒ 4x + x = x + 33 + x

⇒ 5x = 33 + 2x

⇒ 3x = 33

⇒ x = 11

Step 2:

Find total number of people.

33 + 2x = 33 + 22 = 55
