Answer:
x= 1 or x= 1.56 (3 s.f.) or x= -2.56 (3 s.f.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached picture for full solution.
Since it is the midpoint we can say:
12x - 1 = 8x +11
All we have do to is get all the x's alone on one side
12x - 1 = 8x + 11
12x = 8x + 12 (add both sides by 1)
4x = 12 (subtract both sides by 8x)
x = 3 (divide both sides to get what x is)
Answer:
The number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of number of girls to the boys = 3 : 5
Let the number of girls is g and boys is b initially.
b : g = 3 : 5
5 b = 3 g ..... (1)
Now, girls are 6 + g and boys are b - 9
So, the ratio is
(b - 9) : (6 + g) = 1 : 4
4 b - 36 = 6 + g
4 b - g = 42 .... (2)
From ( 1 ) and ( 2 )

And , g = 5 x 18/3 = 30
So, the number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.
The different combinations is 9, since we can't rearrange the two novels.
I did 3*3 which equals 9.
Theres only 4 but the answer is -15
