Well do you know a common factor between 8, 5, and 12, if so it is super simple to find your answer. :)
Answer:
Here c represents the total number of children in choir.
As per the statement:
Total number of boys in choir = 12
It is also given that: Three sevenths of a children's choir are boys.
⇒ Total number of boys = 
or
By cross multiply we have;
84 = 3c
Divide both sides by 3 we have;
c = 28
Therefore, the total number of children in choir is 28 children
Answer: 22
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question the, we are informed that members of a lacrosse team raised $1352.50 to go to a tournament and that they rented a bus for $802.50 and budgeted $25 per player for meals.
The equation which can be used to determine p, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament would be calculated as:
802.50 + 25p = 1352.50
25p = 1352.50 - 802.50
25p = 550
p = 550/25
p = 22
They can bring 22 players to the tournament
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x + 6) + (3x + 6) = 6x + 12
(-2x - 1) + (-2x - 1) = -4x - 2
6x + 12 -4x - 2
2x + 10
Answer:
- m = 4/3; b = -4
- m = 3; b = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
In each case, <em>solve for y</em>. You do this by getting the y-term by itself, then dividing by the coefficient of y.
<h3>1.</h3>
-3y = -4x +12 . . . . . subtract 4x
y = 4/3x -4 . . . . . . . divide by -3
The slope is 4/3; the y-intercept is -4.
__
<h3>2.</h3>
y = 3x -6 . . . . . . divide by 2
The slope is 3; the y-intercept is -6.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must also do to the other side. When we say "subtract 4x", that means 4x is subtracted from both sides of the equation. The reason for doing that in the first equation is to eliminate the 4x term from the left side.
(Sometimes, you may see operations described as "move ...". There is no property of equality called "move." There are <em>addition</em>, <em>subtraction</em>, <em>multiplication</em>, <em>division</em>, and <em>substitution</em> properties of equality. Any equation solving process will make use of one or more of these.)
