In a group of 60 children there are twice as many girls than boys how many girls are there

2 answers:

7 0

Girl = 2 parts
Boy = 1 part
So total = 2 + 1 = 3 parts and 60 children = 3 parts so 1 part will be 60 ÷ 3 = 20 students
Multiply 20 to 2 and you will get 40 students.

2x + x = 60 that is your equation. Simplify it and you get 3x = 60. 60/3 equals 20 so you have 20 boys but multiply it by 2 since you have twice as many girls and you get 40 girls total.

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 4 and passes through the point (–2, 3)?

Answer:

3=-1/2(-2)+b

solve

3=1+b

2=b

b=2

now that we have the slope and y intercept of the equation construct your equation:

y=-1/2x+2

Neither of these answers are correct. I graphed them all and not a single one passed through (-2, 3)
