Answer:

150 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call the total amount of people at the talent show x. Since 3/6=1/2, we know that half the people are girls, 1/3 are boys. If we added 1/2 and 1/3 we get 5/6, 1-5/6=1/6, so now we know that 1/6 of the people are adults. Because it says "If there were 50 more girls than adults" so from that we can see that 1/2x =1/6x+50. If we were to simplify the equation, we 1/3x=50, so x=150

Which are steps in the process of completing the square used to solve the equation 3 – 4x = 5x2 – 14x? Check all that apply.
avanturin [10]
Add 4x over to 14x, 3=5x2- 18x then add 18x to the other side 3+ 18x= 5x2then divided each side by 5,( 3+18x/5=x2) then square root each side the answer to x would be the square root of 3+18x/5

Find the point at which the line joining the two points (-3,-5) and (7,5) cuts they y axis
8090 [49]

Answer:

(0,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the equation of the line passes through (-3,-5) and (7,5).

The slope of the line is

m=\frac{5-(-5)}{7-(-3)}\\=\frac{10}{10}\\=1

So by the point slope formula the equation of the line is

y-5=1(x-7)\\y=x-7+5\\y=x-2

When x=0 we have y=0-2=-2.

Therefore the line joining the two points cuts the y-axis at (0,-2).

The ratio of boys to girls in the entire 6th grade is 3 to 2. Given this ratio, which two class compositions are possible?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

<em>There's an infinite number of possible answers because there might be any multiplication of 3 for boys and any multiplication of 2 for girls. So, for example:</em>

<em>There might be 3 boys and 2 girls.</em>

<em>There might be 6 boys and 4 girls.</em>

<em>There might be 9 boys and 6 girls.</em>

<em>There might be 12 boys and 8 girls.</em>

<em>etc...</em>

<em>In each case the ratio stays the same - 3 : 2.</em>

<em>Of course there probably can't be more than a few dozens of people in one class, but theoretically we can raise the numbers up to infinite.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:<em>hope this help.</em>

<span>(1.3t3 + 0.4t2 – 24t) + (8 – 18t + 0.6t2) 

In adding polynomials, make sure that each term is grouped together. 

1.3t</span>³ + 0.4t² - 24t
<u>         + 0.6t² - 18t  + 8</u>
1.3t³ + 1.0t² - 42t + 8

In a polynomial equation, arrangement of each term is dependent on the exponential number. It should be from the highest exponent to the lowest.
