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!

Answer:

α = π/3

γ = 2

x = -3π/4, -5π/12, π/4, 7π/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Easiest way to do this is in reverse.

γ sin(2x − α)

Angle sum/difference formula:

γ (cos α sin(2x) − sin α cos(2x))

Distribute:

γ cos α sin(2x) − γ sin α cos(2x)

Matching the coefficients:

γ cos α = 1

γ sin α = √3

Solve the system of equations.  Divide to eliminate γ:

tan α = √3

α is between 0 and π/2, so:

α = π/3

γ = 2

sin(2x) − √3 cos(2x) = 1

Using the identity from before:

2 sin(2x − π/3) = 1

Solving:

sin(2x − π/3) = 1/2

2x − π/3 = π/6 + 2kπ or 5π/6 + 2kπ

2x = π/2 + 2kπ or 7π/6 + 2kπ

x = π/4 + kπ or 7π/12 + kπ

x is between -π and π, so:

x = -3π/4, -5π/12, π/4, 7π/12

Solve the following system: <br> 3x + 2y = 7 <br> -4.5x - 3y = -10.5
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

<u>infinitely many solutions</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations :

  1. 3x + 2y = 7
  2. -4.5x - 3y = -10.5

Multiplying Equation 1 times 3 and Equation 2 times 2 :

  • 9x + 6y = 21
  • -9x - 6y = -21

Putting the equations in standard form after simplifying :

  1. 6y = -9x + 21 ⇒ <u>y = -1.5x + 3.5</u>
  2. -6y = 9x - 21 ⇒ <u>y = -1.5x + 3.5</u>

<u />

As both equations are the same, the system will have <u>infinitely many solutions</u>.
