The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: "2: 5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".

Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Given: The ratio of boys to girls is: " 3:2 " .

Problem: Find the ratio of "girls" to "all students:
________________________________________________________
Note: This ratio of "boys to girls", which is " 3 : 2 " ;
________________________________________________________
→ can be expressed as " 3x: 2x" ;

in which the total number of students is: " 3x + 2x " = 5x " .

→ The total number of students is represented as: " 5x " .
________________________________________________________
→ The ratio of "girls to boys" is: "2x : 3x" .

→ {that is; the "inverse" of the ratio of "boys to girls"} ;
→ {that is; the "inverse" of " 3x: 2x" } ; → which is: " 2x : 3x " .
________________________________________________________

The ratio of "girls" to "all students" is: "2x : 5x " ; or " 2x/5x " ;
→ Both "x" values cancel ; {since: " x/x = 1 "} ;
_________________________________________________________
→ and we have the answer: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .
_________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".

Answer:

Hello! I am also having trouble in algebra! From what I can see so far this is what the problem should look like...

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Yes, it s a linear function because it matches the equation y=mx+b

B. The domain is 1, 2, 3 , 4, and 5. This is because there are 5 services you can choose from. The domain is discrete because you can't have half a service.

C. Because I'm also doing this book (I'm in Algebra 1 in 8th grade), I'm also just learning this! So sorry, but I don't know how to solve this one either... can someone please help?

Thanks! Also, just a tip, if you're having trouble ever again go to slader.com where they have all the answers to any textbook. They also have really good explanations! However, for this one, I didn't understand it on slader so I came on here! Good luck and if anyone can help with C that would be much appreciated.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!<br><br> Simplify.<br><br> 4√27 + 6√75

BARSIC [14]

To answer this, you will first need to simply the expressions.

$4\sqrt{27} = 12\sqrt{3}$

$6\sqrt{75} = 30\sqrt{3}$

Now with the expressions simplified, you'll add the two together getting $42\sqrt{3}$

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

4 and -10

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle (x + 3)(x +3) = 49 \\ x^2+3x+3x+9=49 \\ x^2 +6x+9=49 \\ x^2 + 6x + 9 - 49 = 0 \\x^2+6x-40=0 \\\\ \Delta=b^2-4ac \\ \Delta=6^2-4 \cdot 1 \cdot (-40) \\ \Delta=36+160 \\ \Delta=196 \\ \\ X_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} \\ \\ X_1=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} = \frac{-6+14}{2} = \frac{8}{2}=4 \\ \\ X_2=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} = \frac{-6-14}{2}=\frac{-20}{2} = -10$
