Answer:

40

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

Solve the system of equations - 6x + 5y = 0 and -5x + 5y = -5 by combining
Anna [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-5, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of y are the same, so we can eliminate y by subtracting one equation from the other. Here, we choose to subtract the first from the second, so that the coefficient of x ends up positive.

  (-5x +5y) -(-6x +5y) = (-5) -(0)

  x = -5 . . . . . . simplify

  -6(-5) +5y = 0 . . . . . . substitute x into the first equation

  6 +y = 0 . . . . . . . . . .  divide by 5

  y = -6 . . . . . . subtract 6

The solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-5, -6).
