Answer:
60 students passed, and 75 appeared in examination.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say s is the total number of students and p is the number of students who passed.
80% of the students passed, so:
0.8 s = p
If there were 10 less passers, and 15 less students (5 less failures), then the ratio of passers to failures would be 5/1.
(p − 10) / (s − p − 5) = 5 / 1
Simplify the second equation:
p − 10 = 5 (s − p − 5)
p − 10 = 5s − 5p − 25
6p = 5s − 15
Substitute the first equation.
6 (0.8 s) = 5s − 15
4.8 s = 5s − 15
0.2 s = 15
s = 75
p = 0.8 s
p = 60
60 students passed, and 75 appeared in examination.
Answer:
22 cm long
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
He can make 10 more bowls of clay if he wants<span />
2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10
y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x − 10 + 4x = 10
5x − 10 = 10
<em>add 10 to each side</em>
<em>5x-10+10 = 10 + 10</em>
<em>5x=20</em>
5x = 0 <em>this is the error</em>
He needs to add 10 to each side
