g-number\ of\ girls\\\\3:5=\dfrac{3}{5}\\\\The\ equation:\\\\\dfrac{27}{g}=\dfrac{3}{5}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\3g=(27)(5)\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\g=(9)(5)\\\\\boxed{g=45}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{45\ girls}

4y + 4 = 2y - 10 <br> can somebody break this down to solve it ? please
vredina [299]

Answer:

y=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you want variables on one side, numbers on the other side of the equation.

4y+4=2y-10

*plus ten on both side to get rid of -10*

4y+14=2y

*minus 4y on each side to get rid of 4y*

14=-2y

*divide by -2 on each side to get the value of just one y itself*

y=-7

What is the surface area of 5, 8, and 3
Rashid [163]

Answer:

158

Step-by-step explanation:

5*8=40

8*3=24

3*5=15

Each of these measurements gets added twice, becasue there are 6 faces on a rectangular prism.

40 + 40 + 24 + 24 + 15 + 15 = 158

Write the equation of a line passing through (6,-2) and perpendicular to -2x + 3y= -6
____ [38]
Perpendicular lines refers to a pair of straight lines that intercept each other. The slopes of this lines are opposite reciprocal, meaning that it's multiplication is -1.
On this case they give you the equation of a line and a point, and is asked to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given one, and that passes through this point.


-2x+3y=-6                 Add 2x in both sides
3y=2x-6                    Divide by 3 in both sides to isolate y
y=2/3x-6/3


The slope of the given line is 2/3, which means that the slope of a line perpendicular to this one, needs to be -3/2. Now you need to find the value of b or the y-intercept by substituting the given point into the formula y=mx+b, where letter m represents the slope.

y=mx+b                 Substitute the given point and the previous slope found
-2=(-3/2)(6)+b       Combine like terms
-2=-9+b                 Add 9 in both sides to isolate b
7=b

The equation that represents the line perpendicular to -2x+3y=-6 and that passes through the point (6,-2), is y=-3/2x+7.
