Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : Girls = 7 : 8

Let the number of boy = 7x

The number of girls = 8x

Number of boys after 20% increase = 120% of 7x

                                                            = 1.2 * 7x

                                                             = 8.4 x

                               

Number of girls after 10% increase = 110% of 8x

                                                           = 1.1 * 8x

                                                           = 8.8x                    

After increase in number of boys & girls = 8.4x : 8.8x

                      = 84 : 88    { reduce to simplest form by giving by 4th table}

                     = 21 :  22

What is the value of x?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are vertical angles, the angles are congruent and therefore you can set them equal to each other.

4x + 20 = 3x + 55

Have x on one side of the equation by subtracting 3x from both sides.

x + 20 = 55

Subtract 20 from both sides of the equation.

x = 35

Please help me answer these 2 questions with a FULL explanation so I know how to do the rest myself. Giving brainliest.
sveticcg [70]

Answer to 1:

\frac{x^3}{2y^25}

First thing you want to do is combine like terms on the bottom. Since it's multiplication, all you have to do is add the exponents. So for x you'd get x raised to the -9 power and for y you'd get 2y raised to the power of 7

Second thing is the numerator of the fraction. Since this is raising what is inside the paranthesis to a power, you must multiply this power by the powers of x and y, respectively. You should get x raised to the power of -6 and y raised to the power of -18

Here's where it gets complicated. to rationalize the problem, you must add parts from the numerator and denominator or vice versa. You cannot have any negative exponents anywhere in the fraction.  So that means for x you have to add 9 to the x on the top to cancel out the -6 and rationalize the remaining x's. You should end up with x^3.

For y, you work the opposite way. Since the negatives are only on the top, you simply add 18 to the bottom y's and it remains rationalized.

If done correctly this should come out to x^3/2y^25

Answer to 2:

(x^20y^12)/256

First thing you can do on this one is to cancel out the x^0s. Anything to the power of 0 equals one so only the coefficients will remain. Multiply those together and you'll get 4.

Next you will rationalize the ys. Add the bottom 3 to the top to cancel out the denominator and you're left with y^-3. Leave it like this for now.

Now is the difficult part. You must take everything that is inside the parenthesis to the power of -4. That includes the coefficients and the exponents. 4^-4 = 1/256. This means that you now must move the coefficients to the bottom. You should currently have y^-3/(256x^5).

Now take the exponents to the power using the same rules as question 1. -3*-4 = 12 and 5*-4 = -20. You should now have y^12/(256x^-20)

Lastly, we must rationalize the denominator. To do so, move the x^-20 to the numerator and make the exponent positive. After doing this, you have the answer: (x^20y^12)/256

Jason went to a carnival where he could goon all rides for a flat fee of $30 but he had to pay $2 for each arcade game he played
enot [183]

Answer:

He played 7 arcade games.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount paid in relation to the number of games played can be modeled by a linear function in the following format:

A(n) = F + gn

In which F is the flat rate and g is the price of each game.

Flat fee of $30 but he had to pay $2 for each arcade game he played.

This means that F = 30, g = 2

So

A(n) = 30 + 2n

Jason spent $44. How many arcade games did he play?

This is n for which A(n) = 44. So

A(n) = 30 + 2n

44 = 30 + 2n

2n = 14

n = \frac{14}{2}

n = 7

He played 7 arcade games.
