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

Does anyone know the answer???

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

R=50+20t, B=150-20t they will be the same height when

50+20t=150-20t

50+40t=150

40t=100

t=2.5, usingvthis value for t in either original equation will give you the height.

h=50+20(2.5)

h=100m

A beacon is flashing on top of a 50 foot tower. A 6 foot tall man walks constantly away from the tower at 5 feet/sec. At the ins
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:\frac{253}{44}

Step-by-step explanation:

ignore the "at the instant the man is 30 feet away" part, set it as X and the man's shadow as Y.

Similar triangles so we can do \frac{50}{x+y}  = \frac{6}{y}.

Solve for it we get 44y = 6x

Differentiate relative to time t, we get 44y' = 6x'.

change in x (x') is equal to 5. And we get the answer y' = \frac{33}{44}.

the \frac{33}{44} ft/sec is the rate of which the length of the shadow is changing. add 5 to it for the rate of the tip of his shadow moving away from the tower.
