Answer:
dis confusing
Step-by-step explanation:
40 boys and 68 girls
let's start with variables and an equation.
boys: x
girls: 2x - 12
and we know that boys and girls make up the class. so let's add the two expressions.
x + 2x - 12 = 108
3x - 12 = 108
+ 12 + 12
3x = 120
x = 40 boys
BUT x is only the number of BOYS in the class. so we have to find girls now. let's plug in our value of x into the girls' equation.
2x - 12 = # of girls
2(40) -12 = # of girls
80 - 12 = # of girls
68 girls
let's check our answer!
68 + 40 does in fact add to 108, therefore our answer is correct.
Answer:
15.
x = 40/9 = 4 4/9
z = 24/5 = 4 4/5
17.
x = 50
y ≈ 11.5
Step-by-step explanation:
15. Corresponding segments are proportional:
top right side / whole right side = x / 8
5/(5+4) = x/8
x = 8(5/9) = 40/9
x = 4 4/9
__
right side bottom / right side top = z / 6
z = 6(4/5) = 24/5
z = 4 4/5
____
17. The acute angles are complementary:
x = 90 -40 = 50
__
From the Pythagorean theorem:
y = √(15² -9.6²) = √132.84
y ≈ 11.5
