X=number of boys
y=number of girls.

We can suggest the following system of equations:
x+y=33
x/y=3/8

We solve this system of equations by substitution method.
x/y=3/8       ⇒x=3y/8

(3y/8)+y=33
least common multiple=8
3y+8y=33*8
11y=33*8
y=(33*8)/11
y=3*8
y=24

x+y=33
x+24=33
x=33-24
x=9

number of boys /total number of students=9/33=3/11

There are 9 boys and 24 girls in the class. 

Answer: C: 9. since 3/11 of the students are boys.

Anit [1.1K]

Use the formula T(x) = 0.01x2^x

X is the number of days.

T(8) = 0.01 x 2^8

T(8) = 0.01 x 256

T(8) = $2.56

Find the area of the shaded region.
Iteru [2.4K]
Keeping in mind that the area of a rectangle is simply width * length, if we get the area of the larger rectangle, and then subtract the area of the smaller rectangle, we're in effect making a hole in the larger rectangle's area and thus what's leftover is the shaded area.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of the larger rectangle}}{(2x+2)(3x-4)}~~-~~\stackrel{\textit{area of the smaller rectangle}}{(x-3)(x-6)}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{FOIL}{6x^2-2x-8}~~~~-\stackrel{FOIL}{(x^2-9x+18)}\implies 6x^2-2x-8-x^2+9x-18

(6 - 1) + (3m)i = -12 + 27i
Yanka [14]

Answer:

We want to solve the equation:

(6 - 1) + (3m)i = -12 + 27i

Where m is a complex number.

first, we can rewrite this as:

5 + 3*m*i = -12 + 27*i

3*m*i = -12 - 5 + 27*i

3*m*i = -17 + 27*i

And we can write m as:

m = a + b*i

Replacing that in the above equation we get:

3*(a + b*i)*i = -17 + 27*i

3*a*i + 3*b*i^2 = -17 + 27*i

and we know that i^2 = -1

3*a*i - 3*b = -17 + 27*i

The real part in the left (-3*b) must be equal to the real part in the right (-17)

then:

-3*b = -17

b = -17/-3 = 17/3

And the imaginary part in the left (3*a) must be equal to the imaginary part in the right (27)

then:

3*a = 27

a = 27/3.

Then the value of m is:

m = a + b*i = (27/3)  + (17/3)*i
