Answer:

Number of boys were 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Direct proportion:

When x varies directly with y then x=ky, {where k is proportionality                            

                                                                                             constant}.

Let number of girl be g,

Number of boy be b,

And number of teacher be t.

From the question,

Number of girls varies directly as the number of boys and inversely with number of teacher.

So, Using direct proportion we get an equation

                        g=\frac{k\times b}{t}                    ........(a)

Case 1: g=50 ,  t=20 ,   and b=10

Now,  substituting all the values in equation (a) we get,

             50=\frac{k\times 10}{20}  ⇒ k\times 10=50\times20

                                          k=100

Case 2: g=10 ,  t=100 , b=?

Finding the number of boys using  k=100 we get,

            10=\frac{100\times b}{100}     ⇒ b=10

Therefore, Number of boys were 10.

Answer: A=20.8, B=20.5, C=10, D=2, E=12.6

Explanation: It takes time, but all you have to do it make an equation adding all the sides together, which equals 85.9. Then find “a” and plug that back in to each side. (I’m pretty sure this is right, but sorry if I’m wrong)

2x+y=8<br> y+3z=5<br> z+2w=1<br> 5w+3x=9<br><br> Find the solution to each variable
morpeh [17]

Answer:

  w = 0, x = 3, y = 2, z = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use each equation to write an expression that will substitute into the next equation.

  y = 8 -2x . . . . from the first equation

  8 -2x + 3z = 5 . . . . . substituted into the second equation

  z = (-3 +2x)/3 . . . . . solved for z

  (-1 +2/3x) +2w = 1 . . . . . substituted into the third equation

  w = (2 -2/3x)/2 . . . . . solved for w

  5(1 -1/3x) +3x = 9 . . . . . substituted into the last equation

  4/3x = 4 . . . . . simplified, 5 subtracted

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/4

  w = 0 . . . . . . . .value of x substituted into equation for w

  z = 1 . . . . . . . . value of x substituted into equation for z

  y = 2 . . . . . . . .value of x substituted into equation for y

The solution is (w, x, y, z) = (0, 3, 2, 1).
