Answer: 12

Explanation:

Find the girls:

48 x 5/8 = 30 girls

Find the boys:

48 x 3/8 = 18

In order for ratio to be 1:1 the amount of boys need to be equal to the girls:

18 + x = 30
x = 12

x = the amount of boys need to join to make the ratio 1:1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add the ratio you will get 8 and 1 in the ratio number represents

6 people so 5-3=2

Therefore, the no. of girls minus boys= 6×2=12

so you need 12 more boys to make it to be a ratio of 1:1

Can somebody please walked through this, I'm so confused and I have a test in 6 hours...
erastova [34]

Answer:

Q3: x = 4, y = 4, z = 4

Q4: x = 6, y = 0, z = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 3: Simultaneous equations requires us to solve for x, y and z.

Since all three equations have a z in them, I will first solve for z.

Substitute in the first and third equation into the second equation.

First equation: x = 5z - 16

Second Equation: -4x + 4y - 5z = -20

Third equation: y = -z + 8

Substituting in x = 5z - 16 and y = -z + 8 for the x and y in the second equation.

-4(5z - 16) + 4(-z + 8) - 5z = -20

Expand

-20z + 64   - 4z + 32   - 5z = -20

Simplify and solve for z by putting all the numbers on one side and all the z's on the other side of the equals

-20z - 4z - 5z = -20 - 32 - 64

-29z = -116

z = -116/-29

z = 4

Substitute in this z value into the first and last equation and then solve for x and y

x = 5z - 16

x = 5(4) - 16

x = 20 - 16

x = 4

And

y = -z + 8

y = -(4) + 8

y = 4 (Its just a coincidence that they all equal to 4, I promise)

Question 5: A little bit harder of a question. Since the first and second equation both only have y and z, we can solve it using the elimination method.

Rearrange them so that the letters are on one side and numbers on the other side.

First equation: y + 6z = -24

Second equation: z + 2y = -4

I will choose to eliminate the y (You can choose either or)

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(y + 6z = -24)

2y + 12z = -48

Now that 2y is in both equations, we can minus one equation from the other to eliminate the y (I will minus the second from the first)

First Eq: 2y + 12z = -48

Second Eq: z + 2y = -4

2y - 2y = 0y

12z - z = 11z

-48 - (-4) = -44

Type these answers into a new equation

0y + 11z = - 44

Since y is 0, ignore it. Solve for z

11z = -44

z = -44/11

z = - 4

Substitute our z into either the first or second equation and solve for y (It doesnt matter which one you choose, I just did the second equation)

z + 2y = -4

(-4) + 2y = -4

2y = -4 + 4

2y = 0

y = 0

Substitute in our y and z values into the third equation and solve for x

-6x - 6y - 6z = -12

-6x - 6(0) - 6(-4) = -12

-6x - 0 + 24 = -12

-6x = -12 - 24

-6x = -36

x = -36/-6

x = 6

If f(x) = (3x + 8)/(2x - A) and f(0) = -2, what is the value of A?
Mrac [35]
Using the given info, we can determine that
(3(0) + 8) \div (2(0) - a) =  - 2
simplify
8  \div  - a =  - 2
multiply both sides by -a
and divide each side by -2
4 = a
A = 4

Bill works for a company that makes candy bars. Bill's job is to pack 10 candy
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

120 bars

Step-by-step explanation:

If Bill packs 10 candy bars in every box and there are 12 boxes in every shipping carton, then that would mean there are 12 sets of 10 candy bars. Meaning that you would multiply 10 by 12 since there are 12 boxes and 10 candy bars in each box (which would give you 120).

Describe at least two similarities between constructing a perpendicular line through a point on a line and constructing a perpen
Zolol [24]

For a given line, a perpendicular to that one intersects it forming four angles of 90°.

To answer this, to name two similarities, we will see that the construction is exactly the same in both cases, so to say (trivially) two similarities is that:

We will find the slope in the same way

We will find the y-intercept in the same way.

Now let's see how to construct perpendicular lines.

We know that a general line is given by:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

A perpendicular line to the above one must have a slope equal to the <u>opposite of the inverse of the above slope</u>, thus the perpendicular line will be something like:

y = -(1/a)*x + c

Where we still need to find the value of c.

So the first similarity is that in both cases we will have the same slope (as this does not depend on the fact that this line passes through a point on the line or off the line)

Now, also remember that two perpendicular lines always do intersect, thus the<u> perpendicular line will always pass through a point of the original line</u>.

Now, let's assume that we know that our line passes through the point (x₁, y₁), we will see that it does not matter is this point is on the original line or not.

To find the value of c, we replace the values of the point in the line equation:

y₁ = -(1/a)*x₁ + c

c = y₁ + (1/a)*x₁

Then the line is:

y = -(1/a)*x + y₁ + (1/a)*x₁

Notice that we did not specify if (x₁, y₁) is on the line or not,<u> thus the construction is exactly the same in both cases.</u>

Then to, trivially, say two similarities we could say:

  • We will find the slope in the same way
  • We will find the y-intercept in the same way.
