Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total ratio = 7 + 1 = 8

Let the total number of students be x

Number of boys.

7/8 × x = 42

7/8 x = 42

Multiply both sides by 8

8 × 7/8 x = 42× 8

7x = 336

Divide both sides by 7

7x / 7 = 336/7

x = 336/7 = 48

Therefore total number of students is 48

I hope this was helpful, please rate as brainliest

Answer:

$a_{39}$ = 279

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_{n}$ = $a_{1}$ + (n - 1)d

d = $a_{2}$ - $a_{1}$

~~~~~~~~~

d = - 17 + 25 = - 9 + 17 = - 1 + 9 = 8

$a_{39}$ = - 25 + 8(39 - 1) = 279

$a_{39}$ = 279

A function has the function rule y = -7 x - 2. If the input is -4, what is the output? 26 -30 -26 14

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the input is -4, x = -4. The equation then is y = -7(-4) -2

A negative times a negative is a positive, so -7 times -4 is 28.

Now the equation reads y = 28 - 2

Then obviously you just subtract the two and then you get 26.
