Answer:

The expression you can use to find out how many boys is b + (b - 84) = 1824

There are 954 boys at Southside High School

There are 870 girls at Southside High School

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the number of boys in the Southside High School is b

∵ There are b boys in the Southside High School

∵ The number of girls is 84 fewer than boys

→ Subtract 84 from b to find the number of girls

∴ The number of girls in the Southside High School is (b - 84)

∵ Southside High School has a total of 1824 students

→ That means the sum of the numbers of the boys and the girls is 1824

∴ b + (b - 84) = 1824

∴ The expression you can use to find out how many boys is

b + (b - 84) = 1824

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ (b + b) - 84 = 1824

∴ 2b - 84 = 1824

→ Add 84 to both sides

∵ 2b - 84 + 84 = 1824 + 84

∴ 2b = 1908

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find b

∵ $\frac{2b}{2}=\frac{1908}{2}$

∴ b = 954

∴ There are 954 boys at Southside High School

∵ The number of girls at Southside High School = b -84

→ Substitute b by 954

∴ The number of girls at Southside High School = 954 - 84

∴ The number of girls at Southside High School = 870

∴ There are 870 girls at Southside High School

Find each percent change. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent. State if it is an increase or decrease. From 79 miles to 84 m

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

the answer is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you want to use the formula,

new value - original value

____________________

original value * 100

you see that 84 is the new value and 79 would be the original value. substitute the numbers in. this is a increase since you will get a positive value.

84 - 79

______

79 * 100

now we solve it.

__

79 * 100

you can either solve the fraction first then multiply that by 100 or multiply the numerator by 100 first then divide that by 79, each way works.

500

____

79 = approximately 6.3% increase (this is not a exact value, just rounded)

__

79 = approximately 0.063 (this is not a exact value, just rounded)

0.063 * 100 = 6.3% increase

What does 5/7c=13/14 equal

natita [175]

To find c, you must isolate it.
To do this, you must divide both sides by 5/7, since that is being multiplied by c and you must do the inverse to it to cancel it out in order to leave c by itself.

5/7c ÷ 5/7 = c

13/14 ÷ 5/7
To divide fractions, follow these steps:
Step 1- Turn the second fraction, 5/7 in this case, into its reciprocal. This means swapping the places of the numerator and denominator.
5/7 reciprocal = 7/5

Step 2- multiply the original first fraction and reciprocal second fraction.
13/14 • 7/5
13 • 7 = 91
14 • 5 = 70
13/14 ÷ 5/7 = 91/70

Step 3- Simplify if possible.
91/70
Since 70 can go into 90, you can turn this into a mixed number.
1 and 21/70
Now simplify 21/70.
Both can be divided by 7.
21 ÷ 7 = 3
70 ÷ 7 = 10
So simplified, 91/70 equals 1 and 3/10.
As a decimal, this is 1.3.

So the answer is c = 1.3, or 1 and 3/10.

Hope this helps :)
