Let 100% be 10 units

4u --> boys
6u --> girls

60% of 6u walk home. therefore,
\frac{60}{100}  \times 6 = 3 \frac{3}{5}
50% of 4u walk home. therefore,
\frac{1}{2}  \times 4 = 2
hence, 2u (boys who walk home) + 3.6u (girls who walk home) = 5.6u

to find percentage,
\frac{5.6}{10}  \times 100 = 55.99999
rounding up, it'll be 56% of the students

Solve by elimination <br> -5x+8y=-27<br> -8x+7y=-20
Anika [276]

Answer:

x = -1 , y = -4

Step-by-step explanation by elimination:

Solve the following system:

{8 y - 5 x = -27 | (equation 1)

7 y - 8 x = -20 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(8 x) + 7 y = -20 | (equation 1)

-(5 x) + 8 y = -27 | (equation 2)

Subtract 5/8 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{-(8 x) + 7 y = -20 | (equation 1)

0 x+(29 y)/8 = (-29)/2 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 8/29:

{-(8 x) + 7 y = -20 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)

Subtract 7 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{-(8 x)+0 y = 8 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -8:

{x+0 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer:  {x = -1 , y = -4

What are the solutions of the quadratic equation? 4x^2+9x-9=0
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

x=3/4

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

4x^2+9x-9=0

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

4x^2+9x-9=0

so

a=4\\b=9\\c=-9

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-9(+/-)\sqrt{9^{2}-4(4)(-9)}} {2(4)}

x=\frac{-9(+/-)\sqrt{225}} {8}

x=\frac{-9(+/-)15} {8}

x=\frac{-9+15} {8}=3/4

x=\frac{-9-15} {8}=-3

Function g is a transformation of function f.
bulgar [2K]

The equation of function g(x) in terms of f(x) is g(x) = -3[f(x)].

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given:

genera form of an exponential function is  y=aeᵇˣ

Now, equation for f(x) is

f(x) = e^{(log \;2)x} -2

Similarly, graph for g(x) is

g(x) = -3e^{(log \;2)x} +6

Comparing the two function a relation can  be establish

g(x) = -3[f(x)]
