<h3>Answer:  280</h3>

Work Shown:

x = number of students in the 6th grade class

30% = 30/100 = 0.30

30% of x = 0.30x this is equal to 84 since "30% of the 6th graders are boys (and there are 84 boys in sixth grade)", so we say 0.30x = 84

Divide both sides by 0.30 to isolate x

0.30x = 84

0.30x/0.30 = 84/0.30

x = 280

So there are 280 students overall in the 6th grade class.

Answer:

280 students

Step-by-step explanation:

84 is 30% of a whole. In order to find the whole we must divide.

to divide we have to turn 30% into a decimal (move the point two spaces to the left: 0.3) then 84/0.3 and that gives you 280.

and to check your answer, if you do 280*0.3 that gives you 84.

so, 84 is 30% of the whole 280

there are 280 students.

Hope this helps!

What’s the hypotenuse?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

c = 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem:  a^2 + b^2 = c^2

<u>Step 1:  Plug in the information</u>

(6)^2 + (8)^2 = c^2

36 + 64 = c^2

100 = c^2

sqrt(100) = sqrt(c^2)

<em>10 = c</em>

<em />

Answer: c = 10 feet

Choose the point-slope form of the equation of this line.​
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

y= -5x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see points on the graph:

  • (2, -3) and (3, -8)

The function in general form is:

  • y= mx+b

Let's find the slope and y-intercept as per identified points on the graph:

  • m= (y1-y1)/(x2-x1)
  • m= (-8+3)/(3-2)= -5

b= y- mx

  • b= - 3 -(-5)*2= -3 +10= 7

Based on the found values of m and b, the given line is:

  • y= -5x +7

On a number​ line, suppose point E has a coordinate of -4 ​, and EG = 13. What are the possible coordinates of point​ G?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

9 or -17

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The distance can be positive or negative, as we are just counting the number of units they are apart.

To find the possible coordinates for G, we can add or subtract 13 from -4 to find the possible coordinates for G.

<h3>Find G</h3>
  • -4 + 13 = G1
    -4 - 13 = G2
  • 9 = G1
    -17 = G2

The possible coordinates of G are 9 or -17.
