36 girls because 24/2=12 and 12•3=36

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 solutions to the inequality y > −3x 2 are shaded on the graph. which point is a solution? a). (0, 2) b). (2, 0) c). (1, −

PolarNik [594]

we have

$y> -3x+2$

The solution is the shaded area above the dotted line

we know that

If a point is a solution of the inequality, then the coordinates of the point must satisfy the inequality

We will verify all cases to determine the solution of the problem

Case A) Point $(0,2)$

$x=0\\y=2$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality and verify

$2> -3*0+2$

$2>2$ -------> is not true

therefore

the point $(0,2)$ is not a solution of the inequality

Case B) Point $(2,0)$

$x=2\\y=0$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality and verify

$0> -3*2+2$

$0>-4$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(2,0)$ is a solution of the inequality

Case C) Point $(1,-2)$

$x=1\\y=-2$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality and verify

$-2> -3*1+2$

$-2>-1$ -------> is not true

therefore

the point $(1,-2)$ is not a solution of the inequality

Case D) Point $(-2,1)$

$x=-2\\y=1$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality and verify

$1> -3*(-2)+2$

$1>8$ -------> is not true

therefore

the point $(-2,1)$ is not a solution of the inequality

therefore

the answer is the Point B

$(2,0)$

Mercedes is going to have her car fixed. Cairo Prince Auto Tech charges $45 for an estimate plus $24 per additional hour of work

strojnjashka [21]

Cairo's cost is modeled by 45 + 24h
Tarantino's is modeled by 30h

For h = 6:
Cairo = 45 + 24*6 = 189
Tarantino = 180

For h = 7
Cairo = 45 + 24*7 = 213
Tarantino = 210

For h = 10
Cairo = 45 + 24*10 = 285
Tarantino = 300

$\boxed{2\ and\ 4\ are\ true.}$
