Answer:

35 students

Step-by-step explanation:

So if every 3 boys there is 4 girls you can solve that there is 5 times the amount of girls to get to 20. So to solve for the boys you do the same.

3 x 5 = 15

That means there are 15 boys and 20 girls but we want to know the total so what you do is just add 15+20=35

So 35 total students.

Hope that helps and have a great day!

Find K' if the figure is reflected across the x-axis
snow_lady [41]
<h3>Answer:  K ' is at (1, 4)</h3>

Explanation:

Point K is located at (1, -4)

We use the rule that (x,y) \to (x,-y) when reflecting over the x axis.

The x coordinate stays the same, but the y coordinate flips from positive to negative or vice versa.

Therefore, K(1,-4) will move to K ' (1, 4)

The sum of two numbers a and b is 7 and the difference between them is 2. What is the value of a x b ? Give your answer as a mix
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

45/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can interpret the question to have two equation which can be solve simultaneously

a+b=7------------(1)

a-b=2------------(2)

From eqn(2) make a subject of formula

a=2+b--------(3)

Substitute the (3) into eqn(1)

a+b=7------------(1)

2+b+b=7

2b=7-2

2b=5

b=5/2

From equation (3) substitute value of b to find a

a=2+b--------(3)

a= 2+5/2

a=9/2

Then What is the value of a x b ?

9/2× 5/2

=45/4

Which calculation should be used to calculate s9 for the arithmetic sequence an=3n-1
Ganezh [65]

Answer: Choice A

S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)

===============================================

The formula is

Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)

where

Sn = sum of the first n terms (nth partial sum)

n = number of terms

a1 = first term

an = nth term

In this case,

n = 9

a1 = 2 (plug in n = 1 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)

an = a9 = 26 (plug n = 9 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)

So,

Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)

S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)

will help us find the sum of the first 9 terms of this arithmetic sequence

Jared has a wooden board that is 11 ft long. He wants to cut it into 2 pieces so that the longer piece is 4 ft less than 4 times
Kaylis [27]
X+y=11

x is longer than y
x>y
x is 4 less than 4 times y
x=-4+4y

sub back
x+y=11
-4+4y+y=11
-4+5y=11
add 4 to both sides
5y=15
divide both sides by 5
y=3

sub back
x=-4+4y
x=-4+4(3)
x=-4+12
x=8

the pieces are 8ft and 3ft
