Ratio of girls to boys - 2 : 3 (2+3=5)
Total: 623 students.
623 divided by 5 equals 125.
125 times 2 equals 250.
So, 250 girls are enrolled at Lincoln Middle School.

Complete Question

Steve has 54 stamps in his collection of 13 cent, 29 cent, and 45 cent stamps, totaling a value of $15.98. If the number of 13 cent stamps is doubled, the new total value of his stamp collection would be $17.80. Find the number of each type of stamp in his collection.

Answer:

a) The number of 13 cent = 14

b) The number of 29 cent = 24

c) The number of 45 cent = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told he has 54 stamps in total.

These stamps are;13 cent, 29 cent, and 45 cent stamps.

Let's

Number of 13 cent = a

Number of 29 cent = b

Number of 45 cent = c

Hence,

a + b + c = 54........... Equation 1

The total value of the 3 stamps are $15.98.

1 cent = $0.01

We have

0.13a + 0.29b + 0.45c= $15.98 ......... Equation 2

We know from the question that:

13 cent stamps is doubled, the new total value of his stamp collection would be $17.80.

Therefore

2(0.13a) + 0.29b + 0.45c = 17.8

0.26a + 0.29b + 0.45c = 17.8 ......... Equation 3

Combining Equation 2 and 3 together

0.13a + 0.29b + 0.45c= 15.98 ......... Equation 2

0.26a + 0.29b + 0.45c = 17.8 ......... Equation 3

We eliminate b and c by Subtracting Equation 3 from 3

0.13a = 1.82

a = 1.82/0.13

a = 14

a + b + c = 54........... Equation 1

Since a = 14

14 + b + c = 54

b + c = 54 - 14

b + c = 40

c = 40 - b

Substitute 40 - b for c and 14 for a is Equation 2

0.13a + 0.29b + 0.45c= 15.98 ......... Equation 2

0.13(14 ) + 0.29b + 0.45(40 - b) = 15.98

= 1.82 + 0.29b + 18 - 0.45b = 15.98

Collect like terms

1.82 + 18 - 15.98 = 0.45b - 0.29b

3.84 = 0.16b

b = 3.84/0.16

b = 24

Hence: Solving for c

a + b + c = 54........... Equation 1

14 + 24 + c = 54

38 + c = 54

c = 54 - 38

c = 16

Therefore,

The number of 13 cent = 14

The number of 29 cent = 24

The number of 45 cent = 16

Tao uses elimination to solve the following system of linear equations. -2x+4y=162x+2y=8Which ordered pair is a solution to the
Alex_Xolod [135]

The correct answer is the first option.


If you want to use elimination, you can sum the two equations for example, so that the x's simplify:


(-2x+4y)+(2x+2y) = 16+8


6y = 24


y = 4


Plug this value for y in one of the equations to derive the value of x:


2x+2y=8 \implies 2x + 8 = 8 \implies x = 0


So, the solution is (x,y) = (0,4)

(1.)What is the value of 35−3m , when m = 4?
Len [333]
(1.) 35-3m
m= 4

35-3m
= 35-3(4)
= 35-12 (do the multiple/division first before doing the addition/subtraction)
= 23

C. 23

(2.) 1 + x ÷ 5
x = 80

1 + x ÷ 5
= 1+80÷5
= 1+16
= 17

(3.) mx-y
m=5, x=3, and y=8

mx-y
= 5(3)-8
= 15-8
= 7

(4.) 3a+15+bc−6
a=7, b=3, and c=15

3a+15+bc-6
= 3(7)+15+3(15)-6
= 21+15+45-6
= 75
