Let g = original # of girls at the assembly.
Let w = # of boys at the assembly.

Equation of ratios:

w                 3         boys
-------    =    ---- = --------------------------------------------
g-12             4      girls after 12 have left assembly
                                                                                     4w + 36
Cross-mult., 4w = 3g - 36, so 4w + 36 = 3g, and g = ---------------  (answer)
                                                                                           4

This is "original # of girls at the assembly in terms of w, the # of boys at the assembly."

The table can be used to determine the solution of equations, 2x − 2y = 6 and 4x + 4y = 28. A table with 6 columns and 2 rows. T
Alexus [3.1K]

The solution is (5,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the third column the equation for sum of equivalent system is given as;

8x = 40

divide both sides by 8 to get value of x

8x/8 = 40/8

x=5

Using the value of x in the fifth column's first equation will be;

4x +4y =28

4(5) + 4y =28

20 +4y =28

4y= 28-20

4y=8

divide both sides by 4 to get y

4y/4 =8/4

y=2

The solution is x=5 and y=2 written as (5,2)

serg [7]

Answer: d.) None of the answer choices is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The homework score is an independent variable (known) and on the x-axis, while the midterm exam is the dependent variable, so it's on the y-axis

y = 0.91x - 94.4; and x=420

Substitute x as 420 into the equation.

y = 382.2 - 94.4 = 287.8, or approximately 288.

And this value isn't in the options above.
