2/5 of the students at kennedy high are girls. there are 1482 boys in the school. how many student are at kennedy high?

1 answer:

8 0

Let, the number of student = x
Fraction of boys = 1 - 2/5 = 3/5

So, it would be: x * 3/5 = 1482
x = 1482*5 / 3
x = 7410/3
x = 2470

Thus, There are total 2470 students

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 5

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 4) = 8x - 12

2x + 4 = 4x - 6

x + 2 = 2x - 3

x = 5

Question 17

8/4 = (x + 2)/(2x - 2)

2(2x - 2) = x + 2

4x - 4 = x + 2

3x = 6

x = 2

A shoreline observation post is located on a cliff such that the observer is 280 feet above sea level. The observer spots a ship

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) D/280 = tan(90 - 6)

D = 280tan84 = 2,664 ft

b) D/280 = tan(90 - 16)

D = 280tan74 = 976 ft

ship speed = (2664 - 976) / 43 = 39.2 ft/s

Answer:

Question 4: $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5: $y=-5x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis).

Question 4

1) Determine the slope (m)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where two points that pass through the line are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

In the graph, two easy-to-identify points on the line are (-5,4) and (5,-4). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5-(-5)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5+5}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-8}{10}\\\\\displaystyle m=-\frac{4}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ as the slope (m):

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis when y is 0. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is 0. Plug this into $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$ :

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+0\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5

1) Determine the slope (m)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Two easy-to-identify points are (-1,2) and (0,-3). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0-(-1)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0+1}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-5}{1}\\\\m=-5$

Therefore, the slope is -5. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-5x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,-3). The y-coordinate of this point is -3. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is -3. Plug this into $y=-5x+b$ :

$y=-5x+(-3)\\y=-5x-3$

I hope this helps!
