3/5 I think is the answer
The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.
In the first case, let
and
be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.
We know that
(the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that
(there are 61 students in total).
So, we have the system

We can use the first equation to substitute in the second

And then solve for
:

For the second problem, let
and
be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system
And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
10 = 7 - m ( subtract 3 from both sides )
3 = - m ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
- 3 = m , or
m = - 3
As a check
Substitute m = - 3 into the right side of the equation and if equal to the left side then it is the solution
7 - m = 7 - (- 3) = 7 + 3 = 10 = left side
Thus m = - 3 is the solution to the equation
Answer:
B. 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of this polynomial is based on the highest power on the exponents (if there is more than one variable, it is based on the sum)
The highest power is 3, so the degree is 3
S(5) = -16*(5)*2 + 550 = 390
you just replace t with 5
