Answer:

13 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 25 kids in total.

The fraction of kids that are boys and girls are:

B=\frac{15}{25}=0.6\\B=\frac{10}{25}=0.4

The mean number of coins for all kids is given by:

M=B*M_B+G*M_G

If we are given that M = 10, and MB = 8, then the mean number of coins for the girls is:

10=0.6*8+0.4*M_G\\M_G=\frac{10-4.8}{0.4}\\M_G=13\ coins

The mean number of coins for the girls is 13.

Well lets see. You have a total of 52 marbles. So all you would have to do would be to find the percent of 52 out of 60. This sounds confusing and I may not be completely right but I hope you give it a shot!

Please help, thank you

Answer:

1.

8x + 6y = 28

9x + 3y = 39

Set to equal y.

8x + 6y = 28

6y = -8x + 28

y = -8/6x + 28/6

y = -4/3x + 14/3

9x + 3y = 39

3y = -9x + 39

y = -9/3x + 39/3

y = -3x + 13

Set equal to each other.

-4/3x + 14/3 = -3x + 13

Combine like terms.

5/3x = 25/3

Multiply by 3/5

x = 5

Plug x in.

y = -3(5) + 13

y = -15 + 13

y = -2

(5, -2)

2.

-2x - 9y = -3

-7x - 9y= -33

Set equal to y.

-2x - 9y = -3

-9y = 2x - 3

y = -2/9x + 3/9

y = -2/9x + 1/3

-7x - 9y= -33

-9y = 7x - 33

y = -7/9x + 33/9

y = -7/9x + 11/3

Set equal to each other

-2/9x + 1/3 = -2/9x + 1/3

0 = 0

To find the mean you must add up all the numbers and divide by how many there are:
35 + 60 + x
_________  =    70
        3

35 + 60 + x = 210

x = 65

He must score at least a 65 for a 70 average.
