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.

Solve for a: -8b+2a=6c
Fantom [35]

Answer:

a=3c+4b

Step-by-step explanation:

-8b + 2a = 6c

(-8b + 2a) + 8b = 6c + 8b

-8b + 2a + 8b = 6c + 8b

-8b + 8b + 2a = 6c + 8b

2a = 6c + 8b

2a/2 = 6c + 8b/2

a = (2x3)c + 2^{3} x b)/2

a = 3c + 4b

Answer fast again important
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: 17 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation: Area of a triangle is 1/2 x b x h. We can just take the area of half of the whole triangle, and double it. In this case, half of the triangle has an area of 1/2 x 3.4 x 5 = 8.5. Doubling it is the same is doing 8.5 x 2, which equals 17.
