Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=c

a=girls

b= boys

c= total

the statement tell us:

4/5 of a class is girls:

a=(4/5)*c

boys=b=8

c=a+b

so we have:

c=(4/5)*c + 8

c-(4/5)*c=8

(5c-4c)/5 = 8

c/5=8

c=8*5

c=40

total=40

If z varies jointly with x and y, x = 2 and y = 2, z = 7. Find z when x = 4 and y = 8.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

z varies jointly with x and y:

z = kxy

When x = 2 and y = 2, z = 7.

7 = k(2)(2)

k = 7/4

z = 7/4 xy

When x = 4 and y = 8:

z = 7/4 (4)(8)

z = 56

Which is the solution of the equation 1/4 ( 3x - 1 ) = 2x -2/3

agasfer [191]

Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perform the indicated multiplication:

Clear out the fractions. The LCD here is 12, so multiply both sides by 12, obtaining:

3(3x - 1) = 24x - 8, or

9x - 3 = 24x - 8

Combining like terms, we get 5 = 15x, so that x = 1/3.

If f(z)= sqrt z2+8z , then how much does f(z) increase as z goes from 7 to 8?

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(7)=\sqrt{7^2+8*7}=\sqrt{49+56}=\sqrt{105} \approx 10.247\\f(8)=\sqrt{8^2+8*8}=\sqrt{128}=8\sqrt{2} \approx 11.314\\f(8)-f(7)=11.314-10.247=1.067 \approx 1.07$
