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

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

hello :

x²+ y² + 6x - 4y - 27 = 0 means : (x²+6x+9)-9+(y²-4y+4)-4-27 =0

(x+3)²+(y-2)² = 40....standard form when the center is (-3 , 2) and radius √40
