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

Which type of parent function is graphed on the coordinate plane?
Sophie [7]

Answer : option A

In logarithmic Parent  function, there will be a vertical asymptote.

In the given graph , there is a horizontal asymptote. The graph goes close to y axis but does not cross y axis.

The graph goes close to y axis so there is a horizontal asymptote. Its not a parent logarithmic function.

The graph of exponential function with base 0 to 1 , the y value decreases when x increases. In the given graph the y values increases when x value increases. so the base of the exponential function will be greater than 1

Option A is correct
