Answer:
2h and a half
Step-by-step explanation:
2h and a half
60+60=2h
30= half of 60 so
2.5
X=number of boys
y=number of girls.
We can suggest the following system of equations:
x+y=33
x/y=3/8
We solve this system of equations by substitution method.
x/y=3/8 ⇒x=3y/8
(3y/8)+y=33
least common multiple=8
3y+8y=33*8
11y=33*8
y=(33*8)/11
y=3*8
y=24
x+y=33
x+24=33
x=33-24
x=9
number of boys /total number of students=9/33=3/11
There are 9 boys and 24 girls in the class.
Answer: C: 9. since 3/11 of the students are boys.
-2x +7 = 3x - 8
Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign
-2x -3x+ 7 = -8
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
-2x -3x = -8 -7
Collect like terms
-5x = -15
Divide both sides of the equation by -5
x=3
