Answer:

8 boys are in the group

Step-by-step explanation:

A group consisted of 2 girls for every boy. 24 more girls joined the group. There are now 5 girls for every boy.

Let 'x' be the number of boys

2 girls for every boy and 24 more girls joined

So  number of girls now = 2(number of boys ) + 24

2x + 24

now 5 girls for every boy.

number of girls now = 5 (number of boys)

5x

2x + 24 = 5x

Subtract 2x on both sides

24 = 3x

Divide by 3 on both sides

x= 8

So number of boys in the group = 8

X = boys

2x+24=5x

Subtract 2 x from each side

24=3x

X=24/3 = 8


 there are 8 boys

Jamal factored it completely.

in Jennifer's answer, 3x+3 has a common factor of 3 which can be factored to become 3(x+1) which is what Jamal did.

✽ Hello there! ✽

4x+9<21  

Move all the constants (numbers) to the right, using the opposite                         operation:

4x<21-9

4x<12

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x:

x<3

<h2>Therefore, x<3 ✔︎</h2>

Hope this helps!

Suppose the supply function for a certain item is given by S(q)= (q+6)2 and the demand funtion is given by D(q)= (1000)/(q+6).
nasty-shy [4]

Answer: The equilibrium point is where; Quantity supplied = 100 and Quantity demanded = 100

Step-by-step explanation: The equilibrium point on a demand and supply graph is the point at which demand equals supply. Better put, it is the point where the demand curve intersects the supply curve.

The supply function is given as

S(q) = (q + 6)^2

The demand function is given as

D(q) = 1000/(q + 6)

The equilibrium point therefore would be derived as

(q + 6)^2 = 1000/(q + 6)

Cross multiply and you have

(q + 6)^2 x (q + 6) = 1000

(q + 6 )^3 = 1000

Add the cube root sign to both sides of the equation

q + 6 = 10

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

q = 4

Therefore when q = 4, supply would be

S(q) = (4 + 6)^2

S(q) = 10^2

S(q) = 100

Also when q = 4, demand would be

D(q) = 1000/(4 + 6)

D(q) = 1000/10

D(q) = 100

Hence at the point of equilibrium the quantity demanded and quantity supplied would be 100 units.

Anne is currently h years old. bill is currently 2h years old and Charles is currently eight years old. find an expression for e
Margarita [4]

Ann's age after h years is 2h

Bill's age after h years is 3h

Charles' age after h years is 8 + h

The sum of their ages after h years is 6h + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

Anne is currently h years old

Bill is currently 2h years old

Charles is currently eight years old

We need to find an expression for each person’s age after h years and then find an expression for the sum of their ages after h years

∵ Ann is h years old now

∵ Her age after h years = her age now + h

∴ Her age after h years = h + h

∴ Her age after h years = 2h

Ann's age after h years is 2h

∵ Bill is 2h years old now

∵ His age after h years = his age now + h

∴ His age after h years = 2h + h

∴ His age after h years = 3h

Bill's age after h years is 3h

∵ Charles is 8 years old now

∵ His age after h years = his age now + h

∴ His age after h years = 8 + h

∴ His age after h years = 8 + h

Charles' age after h years is 8 + h

Add their ages after h years

∵ The sum of their ages after 8 years = 2h + 3h + 8 + h

- Add like terms

∴ The sum of their ages after 8 years = (2h + 3h + h ) + 8

∴ The sum of their ages after 8 years = 6h + b

The sum of their ages after h years is 6h + 8

Ronch [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Under a reflection in the x- axis

a point (x, y ) → (x, - y ) , then

A (- 1, - 17 ) → A' (- 1, 17 )

B (0, - 12 ) → B' (0, 12 )

C (- 5, - 11 ) → C' (- 5, 11 )

D (- 6, - 16 ) → D' (- 6, 16 )
