As there is 5 more girls than boys and b is the number of boys, the expression b + 5 represents the number of girls.
total there are 27 childrens
b + (b+5) = 27
b + b + 5 = 27
2b = 27 -5
b =22 / 2
b =11
so the number of boys there are 11 and girls are 11 + 5 = 16
and total is 16 + 11 = 27
Answer:
10 in
Step-by-step explanation:
12 - 5 < third side < 12 + 5
7 < third side < 17
Answer:
Try 12.5, hopefully this helps :)
Answer:
k = 24, y = 24x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given x and y are proportional then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition when y = 72, x = 3 , then
72 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )
k = 24
y = 24x ← equation of proportion
