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

A pizza shop sells three sizes of pizza, and they track how often each size gets ordered along with how much they profit from ea
kari74 [83]

Answer:

μy = $6.56 ; σy = 2.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Mean μx= $8.56

Standard Deviation σx ≈ 2.77

Profit, Y on pizza with current promo :

Price off on pizza = $2

Y = x - 2

μx = E(x) = $8.56

μy = μ(x - 2)

μy = μx - $2

μy = $8.56 - $2

μy = $6.56

For the standard deviation of y

σx ≈ 2.77

σy = σ(x - 2)

σy = σx - 2

Constants are treated as 0 for standard deviation

σy = 2.77

Why is it so expensive to buy organic food
Jet001 [13]
A few reasons are:
1) They contain very little to no chemicals
2) It takes more work to grow, care for, and harvest

dem82 [27]

Answer:

15 times 2 - 26 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Warren drives half the distance Kendall drives to work. Kendall drives 26 more miles to work than Joe. Warren drives 15 miles. Write an equation that models this situation. Use x to represent the number of miles Joe drives to work.

W X 1/2 = K

K - 26 = J

so 15 times 2 - 26 = x

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that passes through the given points:
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The answer is y= -1/3x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

(9, -8) and (-6, -3)

m= y²-y¹/x²-x1

m= (-3)-(-8)/(-6)-9

m= 5/-15

m=-1/3

y=mx+b

y=-1/3x+b

-3=-1/3(-6)+b

-3=2+b

-2 -2

-5=b

The answer is y=-1/3x-5
