Since the ratio of girls and boys must be the same in each team, and all the competitors must be involved, it means that each team's ratio of boys : girls must be equal to the total ratio of Boys : Girls = 36 :27= 4 / 3.

Now 4 / 3, the most simplified version of 36 / 27, happens by dividing the numerator & demoninator by 9 (the greatest number it can divide by). So the greatest number will be 9 teams, each of  4 Boys & 3 Girls

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

There are 26 alternative schools in the country

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of charter schools

y----->  the number of alternative schools

we know that

x=48

x=2y-4 -----> equation A

substitute the value of x in the equation A and solve for y

48=2y-4

2y=48+4

2y=52

y=26

What is the solution for the following system of equations?<br><br>5x + 7y = 3<br><br>2x + 3y = 1
spayn [35]
<span>A) 5x + 7y = 3
B) 2x + 3y = 1

Multiplying Equation B by -2.5
</span><span>B) -5x -7.5y = -2.5 Then adding this to Equation A)
A) 5x + 7y = 3</span>

-.5y  = .5
y = -1

Since
<span>2x + 3y = 1 then
2x -3 = 1
then x = 2

Triangle XYZ with vertices X(0, 0), Y(0, –2), and Z(–2, –2) is rotated to create the image triangle X'(0, 0),
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The answer is R0, 90° and (x , y) → (-y , x) ⇒1st and 4th

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the rotation rules

- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 90° anti-clock wise

 (+90° or -270°)

∴ Its image is (-y , x)

- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 90° clock wise

 (-90° or +270°)

∴ Its image is (y , -x)

- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 180°

 (+180° or -180°)

∴ Its image is (-x , -y)

* There is no difference between rotating 180° clockwise or  

  anti-clockwise around the origin

* Lets solve the problem

∵ Δ XYZ has vertices⇒ X (0 , 0) , Y (0 , -2) , Z (-2 , -2)

∵ Δ X'Y'Z' has vertices X' (0 , 0) , Y' (2 , 0) , Z' (2 , -2)

* From them

# Y = (0 , -2) and Y' = (2 , 0), that means the image is (-y , x)

# Z = (-2 , -2) and Z' = (2 , -2), that means the image is (-y , x)

∴ The rotation is around the origin with angle 90° anti-clockwise

<em>V.I.N: </em>Anti-clock wise means positive angle , clockwise means

negative angle (90° means anti-clockwise , -90° means clockwise)

∴ The answer is: R0, 90° and (x , y) → (-y , x)
