Answer: The answer is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there are a total of 60 students who signed up for hockey, where there were 3 boys for every 1 girl who signed up. We are to find the number of girls who signed up.

The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls will be 3 : 1.

Let '3x' and 'x' be the number of boys and number of girls respectively who signed up.

Therefore, we have

3x+x=60\\\\\Rightarrow 4x=60\\\\\Rightarrow x=15.

Thus, the number of girls is 15.

The two legs (labeled x) of the right triangle below have equal length. If the hypotenuse has length 5√2 , solve for x.
leonid [27]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Other than using the plain special aspect of a 45-45-90 triangle where the legs are x, x, and x√2, you can solve for this.

Since the two legs have equal length, they are both x. Using the pythagorean theorem:

(x^2)+(x^2)=50 (Because 5 squared is 25 and √2 squared is 2, multiplying them gives you 50).

You can add (x^2) and (x^2) because they are the same terms (x squared).

Simplifying like so gives you:

2x^2=50

Dividing by two on both sides:

x^2=25

Taking the square root of both sides:

x=5

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: The linear system of equations that models this scenario are

T + B = 15

3T + 2B = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T represent the number of tricycles.

Let B represents the number of bicycles ordered.

The recreation center ordered a total of 15 tricycles and bicycles from a sporting good store. It is expressed as

T + B = 15

A tricycle has three wheels. A bicycle has 2 wheels. The number of wheels for all tricycles and bicycles total 38. The expression would be

3T + 2B = 38
