X = # of boys, y = # of girls
x + y = 10 --> y = 10-x
2.25y + 1.75x = 20.50
2.25(10-x) + 1.75x = 20.5
22.5 - 2.25x + 1.75x = 20.5
-0.5x = 20.5-22.5
-0.5x = -2.0
÷ -.5 ÷ -.5
x = 4 --> 4 boys, so 10-4 = 6 girls

The area of a triangular block is 49 square inches. If the base of the triangle is twice the height, how long are the base and t
andrezito [222]
1) Formula: area = height * base / 2

2) Call x the height:

height = x

base = 2x

3) State the equation:

(x)(2x) = 49 in^2

4) Solve the equation:

2x^2 = 49 in^s

x^2 = (49/2) in^2

x = √(49/2) in

x = 7√2 / 2 in = 3.5 √2 in

5) Solution:

height = 3.5 √2 in and base = 7√2 in

6) Verification: area = (7√2 in) (3.5√2 in) = 49 in^2

Answer: height = 3.5√2 in and base = 7√2 in.
