I would go with option C. x, in the first equation.
The X term has a coefficient of 3, the lowest common factor amongst the 3 terms making for easy isolation of the variable.
Answer:
Rectangle C is not similar to the other 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3*2=6
1*2=2
Answer:
25 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x denote number of boys
and
y denote number of girls
According to the statement that total 45 people came,
x+y = 45 => Eqn 1
And total paid amount was 175
So,
5x + 3y = 175 => Eqn 2
For solving, We will use the substitution method
So, from eqn 1
x = 45-y
Putting value of x in eqn 2
5(45-y) +3y = 175
225 - 5y + 3y = 175
-2y+225 = 175
-2y = 175-225
-2y = -50
2y = 50
y = 25
Putting y =25 in eqn 1
x+25 = 45
x = 45 - 25
x = 20
As y= 25
So, 25 girls came to the dance ..
