5x- number\ of\ boys\\7x-\ number\ of\ girls\\\\
5x+7x=600\\
12x=600\ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 12\\x=50\\\\
5x=250\\7x=350\\\\
There\ are\ 250\ boys\ and\ 350\ girls.

So,

The secret to solving problems with ratios is to find the value of one unit.

5:7 = 12 units total

To find one unit, divide the total number of students by the total number of units.
600/12 = a

Simplify
50/1 = a
50 = a

The value of each unit is 50.

Now, multiply the units by the numbers in the ratio.
50(5) = b
250 = boys

50(7) = x
350 = x

There are 350 girls.

Can anyone help me? My teacher just recently taught me this today, be he never explained much. The question is in the photo
IceJOKER [234]

You've got five different problems in this photo ... four on top and the word problem on the bottom ... and they're all exactly the same thing:  Taking two points and finding the slope of the line that goes through them.

In every case, the procedure is the same.
If the two points are  (x₁ , y₁)  and  (x₂ , y₂) , then
the slope of the line that goes through them is

                          Slope  =  (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) .

This is important, and you should memorize it.

#1).  (8, 10)  and  (-7, 14)

         Slope  =  (14 - 10) / (-7 - 8)  =  4 / -15

#2).  (-3, 1)  and  (-17, 2)

         Slope  =  (2 - 1) / (-17 -  -3)  =  (2 - 1) / (-17 + 3)  =  1 / -14

#3).  (-20, -4)  and  (-12, -10)

         Slope  =  [ -10 - (-4) ] / [ -12 - (-20) ]

=========================================

The word problem:

This question only gives you one point on the graph,
and then it wants to know what's the slope ?
What are you going to do for another point ?

A "proportional relationship" always passes through the origin,
so another point on the line is  (0, 0) .

Now you have two points on THAT line too, and you can easily
find its slope.

Given the graph of a degree 3 polynomial below, complete the table of values for either the x-value of a zero, or the multiplici
leva [86]

The roots or zeros of a polynomial are the points it crosses the x-axis.

The roots of the polynomial in order from least to greatest are -5, 0 and 5

From the graph (see attachment), we have the following highlights

  • <em>The graph cross the x-axis at x = -5</em>
  • <em>The graph cross the x-axis at x = 0</em>
  • <em>The graph cross the x-axis at x = 5</em>

The points at which the graph crosses the x-axis are the roots of the graph.

So, the roots are: -5, 5 and 5
