Percentage of students that are girls in the class = 60%
Number of girls in the class = 18
Let us assume the total number of students in the class = x
Then
60% * x = 18
(60/100) * x = 18
6x/10 = 18
6x = 18 * 10
6x = 180
x = 180/6
   = 30
So the total number of students in the class is 30.
Number of boys in the class = 30 - 18
                                               = 12
So there are 12 boys in the class. I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand.

60% are girls, there are 18 girls in the class. How many boys?

This is quite easy to understand. 

6x/10 = 18
6x/10 *10 = 18*10 
6x = 180
x = 30

Now, thats the total, subtract by the girls. 
30-18 = 12

Answer: 12

What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first?
dusya [7]

Answer: 11x-8y=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember:

1) The mulitplication of signs:

(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-\\(+)(-)=-

2) By definition, like terms contain the same variables with the same exponent.

Then knowing this, and given the equations:

8x - 4y = -4 and -3x+ 4y = 5

You must subtract the like terms, which means that you must subtract the numerical coefficients of each term.

Then, you get the result is:

8x - 4y = -4\\-3x+ 4y = 5\\...............................................\\8x-(-3x)-4y-4y=-4-5\\8x+3x-8y=-9\\11x-8y=-9

John is a High School principal. He earns $62,299.92 a year and is paid on a semimonthly basis. How much is deducted per pay per
LenKa [72]

Answer alongwith Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1. Social Security</u>

Here Gross income = $62,300

Step 1 Find semiannual income

Semimonthly gross income = $62,300 / 24 = $2595.83

Step 2 Find the social security liability using social security rate and annual income

Social security rate is 6.2%

Social Security Liability = 6.2% x $2595.83 = $160.94 semimonthly payments

Step 3 Find the social security liability using social security rate and annual income

Deduction amount for Social security on monthly basis = $160.94 *2 =

$321.88 per month

<u>2. Medicare</u>

Here Gross income = $62,300

Step 1 Find semiannual income

Semiannual Gross income = $62,300 / 24 = $2595.83

Step 2 Find the social security liability using Medicare rate and annual income

Medicare rate is 1.45%

Medicare Liability = 1.45% x $2595.83 = $37.64 semimonthly payments

Step 3 Find the social security liability using Medicare rate and annual income

Deduction amount for Social security on monthly basis = $160.94 *2

= $75.28 per month

Given the trinomial 2x*2 + 4x + 4, predict the type of solutions. a. Two rational solutions b. One rational solution c. Two irra
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

d. Two complex solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a trinomial 2x^2+4x+4 and we are supposed to predict the type of solutions of our given trinomial.

We will use discriminant formula to solve for our given problem.

\text{Discriminant}=b^2-4ac, where,

a =\text{Coefficient of }x^2,

b =\text{Coefficient of }x,

c =\text{Constant }

Conclusion from the result of Discriminant are:

D

D=0\text{ means one real zero with of multiplicity two}

D>0\text{ means two distinct zeroes}

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

\text{Discriminant}=4^2-4*2*4

\text{Discriminant}=16-32

\text{Discriminant}=-16

Since our discriminant is less than zero, therefore, out given trinomial will have two complex solutions and option d is the correct choice.

Graph the data below and then answer the questions that follow. year 1=$20,000, year 2=$21,750, year 3=$23,500, year 4=$25,250,
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Since the difference between the value for each year is constant, this is an arithmetic sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Year 2 - Year 1 = 21,750 - 20,000 = 1,750

Year 3 - Year 2 = 23,500 - 21,750 = 1,750

Year 4 - Year 3 = Year 5 - Year 4 = 1,750
