Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of students (32) corresponds to the total number of ratio units (3+5 = 8), so each ratio unit represents 32/8 = 4 students.
The 3 ratio units representing boys will stand for 3×4 = 12 boys.
The 5 ratio units representing girls will stand for 5×4 = 20 girls.
There are 12 boys and 20 girls in Janice's classroom.

I find the above solution to be the easiest.
You can also write a system of equations. Let b and g represent the numbers of boys and girls, respectively.
b/g = 3/5
b +g = 32
Multiplying the first equation by g gives an expression for b that can be substituted into the second equation:
b = (3/5)g
(3/5)g +g = 32
8/5g = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
g = (5/8)(32) = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . . multiply by 5/8
b = (3/5)(20) = 3·4 = 12 . . . . . . . find b using the value of g
-4 is what you put on both sides Bc it’s half of b
Answer:
D. x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE : <u><em>there should be an equal sign somewhere in the given expression.</em></u>
suppose the equation is the following:
3(x-4)-5 = x-3
………………………………………………………
3(x - 4) - 5 = x - 3
⇔ 3x - 12 - 5 = x - 3
⇔ 3x - 17 = x - 3
⇔ 3x - 17 + 17= x - 3 + 17
⇔ 3x = x + 14
⇔ 2x = 14
⇔ x = 14/2
⇔ x = 7
When two variables have an inverse relationship, the slope is negatively correlated.
Answer:
5.4.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we divide 2 by 5 we get 0.4
So 5 and 2/5 = 5.4
