40 boys and 68 girls
let's start with variables and an equation.
boys: x
girls: 2x - 12
and we know that boys and girls make up the class. so let's add the two expressions.
x + 2x - 12 = 108
3x - 12 = 108
+ 12 + 12
3x = 120
x = 40 boys
BUT x is only the number of BOYS in the class. so we have to find girls now. let's plug in our value of x into the girls' equation.
2x - 12 = # of girls
2(40) -12 = # of girls
80 - 12 = # of girls
68 girls
let's check our answer!
68 + 40 does in fact add to 108, therefore our answer is correct.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Our equations are

Let us understand the term Discriminant of a quadratic equation and its properties
Discriminant is denoted by D and its formula is

Where
a= the coefficient of the 
b= the coefficient of 
c = constant term
Properties of D: If D
i) D=0 , One real root
ii) D>0 , Two real roots
iii) D<0 , no real root
Hence in the given quadratic equations , we will find the values of D Discriminant and evaluate our answer accordingly .
Let us start with

Hence we have two real roots for this equation.


Hence we do not have any real root for this quadratic

Hence D>0 and thus we have two real roots for this equation.

Hence we have one real root to this quadratic equation.

Answer:
its a 30% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
If 250 is 100% then you need an increase by 75 to get to 325
250*.3 = 75
75 is 30% of 250
250 + 30% (75) = 325
