Answer:
The answer is 2.78
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 35, b) 25, c) 60
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of girls is 10 more than the number of boys, so it's a good thing to choose a variable to represent the number of boys.
Number of boys: b
Number of girls: b + 10
Ratio of girls:boys is 7:5, so
"Cross multiply" to get
There are 25 boys. There are 10 more girls, so the number of girls is 35, and the total number of students is 60.
That's a packed classroom!
Answer:
(- 5, 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
- 6x - 14y = 16 → (1)
- 2x + 7y = 17 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term
6x - 21y = - 51 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
0 - 35y = - 35
- 35y = - 35 ( divide both sides by - 35 )
y = 1
Substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
- 6x - 14(1) = 16
- 6x - 14 = 16 ( add 14 to both sides )
- 6x = 30 ( divide both sides by - 6 )
x = - 5
solution is (- 5, 1 )
The consecutive positive integers would be: x and (x+1),
We would have to solve the following equation to find these numbers:
x(x+1)-[x+(x+1)]=29
x²+x-2x-1=29
x²-x-30=0
x=[1⁺₋√(1+120)]/2
x=(1⁺₋11)/2
We have two possible solutions:
x₁=(1-11)/2=-5 then: (x+1)=-5+1=-4 This is not the solution.
x₂=(1+11)/2=6 then: (x+1)=6+1=7 This solution is right.
Answer: the numbers would be 6 and 7.
The second equation, its setup is correct
