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

John and Emily are brother and sister. John has as many brothers as sisters, and Emily has twice as many brothers as sisters. Ho
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

4 boys, 3 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

brothers of John ⇒ x

sisters of John ⇒ y

John has as many brothers as sisters:

  1. x = y

brothers of Emily ⇒ x + 1 (Emily have the same amount of brother as John, plus one (John))

sisters of Emily ⇒ y -1 (Emily have the same amount of sister as John, minus one (herself))

Emily has twice as many brothers as sisters:

  1. 2 (y-1) = x+ 1

Now we have a system of 2 equations and 2 variables

x=y (I)

2y - 2 = x + 1 (II)

____________

Replace x in equation II

2y - 2 = y + 1

2y - y = 2 + 1

y = 3

____________

Replace y in equation I

x = y = 3

That mean that John have 3 brothers plus himself, there is 4 boys in the family and John have 3 sister, so there is 3 girls in the family

How does the volume of a cylinder change when its diameter is tripled
cupoosta [38]
V(cylinder)= πr²h
d=2r,
d is diameter, r is radius.
When diameter is tripled, a new diameter D=3d,
new radius R=3d/2=(3*2r)/2=3r
R=3r

V(new cylinder)= πR²h = π(3r)²h=9πr²h

V(new cylinder)/V(cylinder)=9πr²h/πr²h=9

Volume new cylinder 9 times more the volume of old cylinder.
