There are 36 girls.
_________________________
Explanation:
_______________________

2:3 = 24:x ;  Solve for "x" ;
__________________________ 

2/3 = 24/x ; 

Solve for "x" ;

2x = 24 * 3 ; 

DIvide each side by "2" ;
_______________________
2x / 2  = (24 * 3) /2 ; 

 x = 12 * 3 = 36 .

There are 36 girls.

The cost of tuition at a 2 year school is $14,000 per academic year. Todd is eligible for $6,500 in financial aid to cover tuiti
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

$625

Step-by-step explanation:

If Todd has to pay $14,000 in tuition for his school each year and uses $6,500 in financial aid each year all for 2 years, the money he needs to save can be modeled by:

2(-$14000 + $6500) + 2(12x) = 0.

x is the minimum amount of money he needs to save in order to cover this expense without debt.

Thus 2(-$14000 + $6500) + 2(12x) = 0 →

2(-$7500) + 24x = 0 → -$15000 + 24x = 0 →

24x = $15000 → x = $625

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

6/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Because england, scotland and france are european team and they make up 3/5 of all the teams, you multiply 3/5 by 2/5 because the south american teams are brazil and argentina which make up 2/5 of the total teams. So the probability that a european team will play a south american team is 3/5*2/5 which is 6/25

Drag an answer to each box to complete this paragraph proof.
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the triangle sum theorem, the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°. Therefore, m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°. Using the Substitution property

(6x)° + 90° + (x+6)° = 180°

To solve for x, first combine the terms to get (7x + 96) = 180°

Using the Subtraction property of equality,

7x = 84.

Then using the division property of equality x = 12.

To find the measure of angle A,

Use the subtraction property to get m∠A = 6(12)°.

Finally simplifying the expression gets m∠A = 72°.

How many solutions are there for the system x^2+4y^2=100 and 4y-x^2=-20
never [62]
There are 5 solutions for this system.

x^2 + 4y^2 = 100  ____1
4y - x^2 = -20  ____2
Add both 1 & 2 together. x^2 gets cancelled
4y^2 + 4y = 80   (send 80 to the other side and divide by 4)
Then equation the becomes : y^2 + y -20 =0
Now factorise the equation: (y+5) (y-4) = 0
Solve for y :  y = -5 and y = 4
Using the values of y to find the values of x. From equation 1:
x^2 = 100 - 4y^2    x = /100 - 4y^2  (/ means square root) Replace values of y
y = -5, x = /100 - 4(-5)^2 = /100 - 100 = 0
y = 4, x = /100 - 4(4)^2 = / 100 - 64 = /36 = -6 or 6
Thus we have 6 solutions y = -5, 4 and x = -6, 0, 6
