A Drama club has 40 members. The number of girls is 5 less then 2 times the number of boys. How many members are boys? girls?

1 answer:

4 0

We can write b= boys, and g= girls

we know that girls are equal g=(2*b-5)
we also know that b+g=40
we will replace girls with the above equation and get
b+ (2*b-5) = 40 , 2*b=2b
b+2b= 40+5
3b=45, divide everything by 5
b=15
girls are 2*15-5=25
15+25=40

Which polynomial equations have -i as one of their roots?

pochemuha

I = sqrt(-1)
i^2 = -1
(-i)^2 = (-i)(-i) = i^2 = -1
(-i)^3 = (-i)(-i)(-i) = (-i)(i^2) = i

use these facts to find which equation is correct if x = -i

Shana took a test with 50 questions. She lost 2 points for each of the 5 questions she got wrong. She got all 3 extra credit que

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

She gained 5 points in overall

Step-by-step explanation:

Shana lost points for each wrong question = 2

So, She lost points for 5 wrong questions = $2 \times 5$

She lost points for 5 wrong questions = 10 points

Now, She gained points for each correct question = 5

So, She gained points for 3 correct questions = $5 \times 3$

She gained points for 3 correct questions =15

So, Overall gain = 15-10 = 5

She gained 5 points in overall

Hence the total number of points gained by her is 5 points

A notary receives $ 3500 for elaborating a title property and $2000 for the constitutive act of an enterprise. In a month did a

Andrew [12]

Answer:

6 titles and 16 acts were elaborated

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of titles be t and the number of acts be a

Since the total is 22 operations:

a + t = 22 •••••••(i)

Total amount from titles = 3500 * t = 3500t

Total amount from acts = 2000 * a = 2000a

2000a + 3500t = 53,000 ••••••(ii)

From i, a = 22-t

Insert this in ii

2000(22-t) + 3500t = 53,000

44,000 - 2000t + 3500t = 53,000

1,500t = 53000-44000

1500t = 9000

t = 9000/1500

t = 6

But a = 22 -

= 22-6 = 16

I need help SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME OUT WITH THIS !! THANK UU

Mama L [17]

Answer:

since they are alternate exteriors, we put a equal sign

2x+78=5x+15

next we subtract 78 on both sides

2x+78-78=5x+15-78

2x=5x-63

then we subtract 5x on both sides

2x-5x=5x-5x-63

-3x=-63

after that we divide -3 on both sides

-3x/-3=-63/-3

and the answer is

x=21
