The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 2:1. If there are 18 more boys than girls, work out how many girls there are.

1 answer:

4 0

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!

Evaluate the polynomial when a.x=0 and b.x=-1<br> x2 – 3x - 7

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

a) -7 & b) -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

a) x = 0

Solution ↦

$x2 - 3x - 7 \\ = 0 \times 2 - 3 \times 0 - 7 \\ = - 7$

b) x = -1

Solution ↦

$x2 - 3x - 7 \\ = - 1 \times 2 - 3 \times ( - 1) - 7 \\ = - 2 + 3 - 7 \\ = - 9 + 3 \\ = - 6$
