Hey there! I’m happy to help!

Let’s use the variable g to represent the girls. This ratio shows that there are twice as many boys as girls (boys=2g)We also see that there are 18 more boys that girls. Let’s set up an equation

g+18=2g
We subtract 18 from both sides
g=2g-18
We subtract 2g from both sides.
-g=-18
We divide both sides by -1
g=18

Therefore, there are eighteen girls.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

Ms. wilson draws a model of the factorization of a polynomial with integer factors. her model is partially complete. a 2-column
lana [24]

The equation represented by Ms. Wilson's model is n² + 13n + 40 = (n + 8)(n + 5)

<h3>How to determine the equation of the model?</h3>

The partially completed model is given as:

    |  n

    |  n²

5   | 5n  |  40

By dividing the rows and columns, the complete model is:

    |  n    | 8

n   |  n²  |  8n

5   | 5n  |  40

Add the cells, and multiply the leading  row and columns

n² + 8n + 5n + 40 = (n + 8)(n + 5)

This gives

n² + 13n + 40 = (n + 8)(n + 5)

Hence, the equation represented by Ms. Wilson's model is n² + 13n + 40 = (n + 8)(n + 5)

The hypotenuse of a 45 degrees -45 degrees -90 degrees triangle measures 10 root of 5 in.
juin [17]

Answer:

5\sqrt{10}\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is </em></u>

Find the measure of the legs

we know that

In a 45 degrees -45 degrees -90 degrees triangle, the measure of the legs are equal

Let

a ----> the measure of one leg

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

(10\sqrt{5})^2=a^2+a^2

solve for a

500=2a^2

Divide by 2 both sides

a^2=250

a=\sqrt{250}\ in

Simplify

a=5\sqrt{10}\ in
