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.

QUESTION:- find the value of x

<h2>ANSWER:- </h2>

180 - 6x + 180 - 5x  + 180 - 4x = 180 \\ 360 + 180 - 15x = 180

360  - 15x = 180 - 180 \\ 360 = 15x \\ 24 \degree = x

What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=−23x+5 and passes through the point (2, 11) ?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The equation would be y = 1/23x - 251/23

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, you need to locate the slope of the first equation. Since the slope is the coefficient of x, we know it to be -23. Now, the perpendicular slope is the opposite and reciprocal of that, which makes the new slope 1/23.

Now that we have this, we can use the point and the slope in point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 11 = 1/23(x - 2)

y - 11 = 1/23x - 2/23

y = 1/23x - 251/23

Write the polynomial in standard form. Then name the polynomial based on its degree and number of terms.
gavmur [86]
To answer the question, simplify the polynomial by adding those that has the same degree of variable,
                                   6 - 3x + (6x³ - 2x³)
                                   6 - 3x + 4x³
Rearrange the polynomial with decreasing exponent or x,
                                     4x³ - 3x + 6
This is a third-degree polynomial.
