There are x boys.
There are 100 more girls than boys: x+100.
There are 976 children in total.

x+x+100=976 \\
2x+100=976 \ \ \ |-100 \\
2x=876 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
x=438

There are 438 boys.

Let the boys be x. Then the girls will be 100 + x. 100 + 2x is 976. X is 438

Write an equation for each line.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of blue line:

blue line is parallel to y-axis

⇒ x = 5

Equation of green line:

Green line is parallel to x-axis.

y = 2

Equation of red line:

At y-intercept x = 0. Point on red line is (0,5)

So, y-intercept = 5

y = mx + b Here,  m is slope any b is y-intercept.

y = mx + 5

Now, choose any other point in red line. ((1,7)

Substitute this value in the above equation and we can find m

7 = m*1 + 5

7 - 5 = m

m = 2

y = 2x + 5

Equation of black line:

Black line and red line are parallel and so, they have same slope.

y = 2x + b

y-intercept (0,-6) ; b = -6

y = 2x - 6

What are the ordered pairs of the
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The two points solutions to the system of equations are: (2, 3) and (-1,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

These system of equations consists of a parabola and a line. We need to find the points at which they intersect:

x^2-2x+3=-x+5\\x^2-2x+x+3-5=0\\x^2-x-2=0\\(x-2)(x+1)=0

Since we were able to factor out the quadratic expression, we can say that the x-values solution of the system are:

x = 2 and x = -1

Now, the associated y values we can get using either of the original equations for the system. We pick to use the linear equation for example:

when x = 2 then  y=-(2)+5=3

when x= -1  then  y=-(-1)+5=6

Then the two points solutions to the system of equations are: (2, 3) and (-1,6)

I need help with this
evablogger [386]

Answer:

A) (-8, -16)

B) (0, 48)

C) (-4, 0), (-12, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) the vertex is the minimum y value.

extremes of a function we get by using the first derivation and solving it for y' = 0.

y = x² + 16x + 48

y' = 2x + 16 = 0

2x = -16

x = -8

so, the vertex is at x=-8.

the y value is (-8)² + 16(-8) + 48 = 64 - 128 + 48 = -16

B) is totally simple. it is f(0) or x=0. so, y is 48.

C) is the solution of the equation for y = 0.

the solution for such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

in our case here

a=1

b=16

c=48

x = (-16 ± sqrt(16² - 4×48)) / 2 = (-16 ± sqrt(256-192)) / 2 =

= (-16 ± sqrt(64)) / 2 = (-16 ± 8) / 2 = (-8 ± 4)

x1 = -8 + 4 = -4

x2 = -8 - 4 = -12

so the x- intercepts are (-4, 0), (-12, 0)
