Answer:  The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Number of boys added: 18 </em>
  • <em>Ratio of boys to girls: 5:4 </em>

So, the total number of boys is:

x + 18  

Number of girls = y

Number of boys / number of girls = 5/4

(x+18) /y = 5/4

Solving for "y"

4 (x +18) =5 y

4x +72 = 5y

(4x +72) /5 = y

The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

The difference between two numbers is 25. The smaller number us 1/6th of the larger number. What is the value of the smaller num
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the larger number and s be the smaller one.

Then we have two equations.

(1) L – s = 25

(2)       s = L/6     Multiply both sides by 6

        6s = L         Substitute the value for L in Equation(1)

 6s – s = 25        Combine like terms

       5s = 25        Divide both sides by 5

         s = 5

The value of the smaller number is 5.

The stream of water from a fountain follows a parabolic path. The stream reaches a maximum height of 12 feet, represented by a v
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the vertex form equation for a parabola:

y=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is the vertex.

Therefore, we have y=a(x-8)^2+12 as our equation so far. If we plug in (16,0) we can find a:

0=a(16-8)^2+12

0=64a+12

-12=64a

-12/64=a

-3/16=a

Therefore, your final equation is y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12

What is the interest earned on $3000 at a rate of 0.04 for three years? The formula is interest equals (principal) (rate) (time)
bekas [8.4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The interest after 3 years is $360

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given the principal amount (P) = $3000

Rate of interest (R) = 0.04

Time period (T) is given as 3 years

The Simple Interest is calculated by the formula;

SI = Principal \times Rate of Interest \times Time

Substituting the values in the above formula,

SI = 3000 \times 0.04 \times 3

SI = $360

Therefore, the interest after 3 years is $360
