Answer:

28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of girls in the class. There were two more boys than girls in her class, then the number of boys is x + 2.

Mrs. Awesome gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys in the class, so each of x + 2 boys got x + 2 jelly beans, so

Number of boys = x + 2

Number of jelly beans each boy got = x + 2

Total number of jelly beans all boys got = (x + 2)(x + 2)

Mrs. Awesome gave each girl as many jelly beans as there were girls in the class, so each of x girls got x jelly beans, so

Number of girls = x

Number of jelly beans each girl got = x

Total number of jelly beans all girls got = (x)(x)

Hence,

Total number of jelly beans class got = (x + 2)(x + 2) + (x)(x)

Mrs. Awesome brought 400 jelly beans, and when she finished, she had six jelly beans left, so she gave 400 - 6 = 394 jelly beans to the calss.

So,

(x+2)(x+2)+(x)(x)=394\\ \\x^2+2x+2x+4+x^2=394\\ \\2x^2+4x+4-394=0\\ \\2x^2+4x-390=0\\ \\x^2+2x-195=0\\ \\D=2^2-4\cdot (-195)=4+780=784\\ \\\sqrt{D}=28\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-2\pm 28}{2\cdot 1}=-15,\ 13

Number of girls cannot be negative, so x = 13, x + 2 = 15 and total number of students is 13 + 15 = 28

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. table

x = 100,y = 20*100+3000 = 2000+3000 = 5000

x = 200,y = 20*200+3000 = 4000+3000 = 7000

x = 300,y = 20*300+3000 = 6000+3000 = 9000

b:

y = 4300

4300 = 20x+3000

20x = 4300-3000

20x = 1300

x = 1300/20

x  = 65

so 65 computer desks can be produced.

The width of a rectangle is 6 2/3 inches. The length of the is twice it’s width. What so the perimeter of the rectangle?
Nookie1986 [14]
\text {Width = }  6\dfrac{2}{3}  \text { inches}



The length is twice its width:
\text {Length = } 2 \times 6\dfrac{2}{3} \text { inches}

Change to improper fraction:
\text {Length = }2 \times \dfrac{20}{3} \text { inches}

Combine into single fraction:
\text {Length = } \dfrac{40}{3} \text { inches}


Find Perimeter :
\text {Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width}

\text {Perimeter = } \dfrac{40}{3} + \dfrac{40}{3}   + \dfrac{20}{3}   + \dfrac{20}{3} = \dfrac{120}{3}  = 40 \text { inches}


\bf \text {Answer: Perimeter =  40 inches}
