Answer:

No. of boys = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The ratio of boys to student is 3:7.

Number of girls in the school = 20

We need to find the number of boys in the school.

Let there are 3x boys and 7x number of students.

No. of girls = Total students - no. of boys

= 7x-3x

= 4x

ATQ,

4x = 20

x = 5

No. of boys = 3x

= 3(5)

= 15

Hence, there are 15 boys in the school.

\bf \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{perfect square trinomial}}{cos^2(\theta )+2cos(\theta )+1}}{sin^2(\theta )}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{[cos(\theta )+1]^2}{sin^2(\theta )}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{doing the right-hand-side}}{\cfrac{1+cos(\theta )}{1-cos(\theta )}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying by the denominator's conjugate}}{\cfrac{1+cos(\theta )}{1-cos(\theta )}\cdot \cfrac{1+cos(\theta )}{1+cos(\theta )}}

\bf \cfrac{[1+cos(\theta )]^2}{\underset{\textit{difference of squares}}{[1-cos(\theta )][1+cos(\theta )]}}\implies \cfrac{[cos(\theta )+1]^2}{1^2-cos^2(\theta )} \\\\\\ \cfrac{[cos(\theta )+1]^2}{1-cos^2(\theta )}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{[cos(\theta )+1]^2}{sin^2(\theta )}}

recall that sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1, thus sin²(θ) = 1 - cos²(θ).

Muskaan had 157 dollars to spend on 6 books. After buying the she had 13 dollars. How much did each book cost?​
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

the cost of each book = $24

Step-by-step explanation:

(if all the books have the same price)

Let x be the price of one book

“She had $157 and After buying 6 books ,she was left with 13$“ means

“157 = 6x + 13”

now we have an equation to solve :

157 = 6x + 13

⇔ 157 - 13 = 6x

⇔ 144 = 6x

⇔ 24 = x
