Answer:
I do not know if that x is a multiply sign or a variable so I'm going to answer both
If the x is a multiplication sign then the answer is -20 = -9
If the x is a variable then the answer is x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2(5 * -8) = -9
(1 * 5 * -8)/2 = -9
(5 * -8)/2 = -9
-40/2 = -9
-20 = -9
-20 ≠ -9
1/2(5x - 8) = -9
1(5x -8)/2 = -9
(5x - 8)/2 = -9
2((5x - 8)/2) = -9 * 2
2(5x - 8)/2 = -9 * 2
5x - 8 = -9 * 2
5x - 8 = -18
+8 +8
------------------
5x = -10
x = -10/5
x = -2
20% of the participants are girls and got a medal, and 33% of the girls got a medal.
<h3>What percent of the participants were girls who received medal?</h3>
First, we know that 40% of the participants were boys, so the other 60% were girls.
We know that 50% of the boys got a medal, so the percentage (in decimal form) of participants that are boys and got a medal is:
P = (0.4)*(0.5) = 0.2
So, 20% of the participants are boys and got a medal.
We know that the number of girls that got a medal is the same as the number of boys, then we also have that 20% of the participants are women who got a medal.
Then if the percentage of girls that got a medal is x (in decimal form), we must have that:
Q = (0.6)*(x) = 0.2
x = 0.2/0.6 = 0.33
x = 0.33
This means that 33% of the girls got a medal.

Answer:
11/21
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3=7/21
1/7=3/21
(7+3)/21=10/21
21/21-10/21=11/21
Thus 11/21 of the circle is shaded.
Answer:
y = 1
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 2y = -3, then x = 2y - 3
2x + y = -1
substitute for x:
2(2y - 3) + y = -1
4y - 6 + y = -1
5y = 5
y = 1
x = 2 - 3 = -1
