Answer:

25 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

boys: girls: total

3           5       8

Take the total number of students and divide by 8

40/8 = 5

Multiply each term by 5

boys: girls: total

3*5     5*5    8*5

15         25     40

There are 25 girls

When 12 is added to a number the result is 32 less than 3 times the number.
sdas [7]


Let the number = x

12 + x = 3x - 32

x = 3x - 44 Subtract 12 from both sides

-2x = -44 Subtract 3x from both sides

x = 22 Divide by -2

Is anyone able to solve this?
Olenka [21]

Explanation:

To find x we need to find the unknown side that connects the two triangles using the Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c² (c is always hypotenuse)

So:

a² + 6² = 9²

a² = 9² - 6²

a² = 81 - 36

a² = 45

a = sqrt45

Now we do the same thing for the other triangle:

x² + 5² = sqrt45²

x² + 25 = 45

x² = 20

x = 2√5 or 4.5...
