Answer:
x = 4y - 20
Step-by-step explanation:
x = Sadie's weight
y = Ben's weight
x = 4(y - 5)
x = 4y - 20
Answer:
The hypotenuse of the triangle measures 13 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the Pythagorean theorem states that in any right triangle the lengths of the three sides are related by the equation A ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = C ^ 2, to determine the length of the hypotenuse in a right thangle with legs 5 inches and 12 inches the following calculation should be performed:
5 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2 = X ^ 2
25 + 144 = X ^ 2
√169 = X
13 = X
Therefore, the hypotenuse of the triangle measures 13 inches.
Deacon Middle School
5x = number of boys
4x = number of girls
where x is some unknown number for now
(number of boys)+(number of girls) = 270 students total
5x+4x = 270
9x = 270
x = 270/9
x = 30
Since x = 30, this means
number of girls = 4x
number of girls = 4*30
number of girls = 120
There are 120 girls at Deacon Middle School
-----------------------------------------
Similarly, for Meadow Middle school
number of boys = 4y
number of girls = 5y
for some number y
(number of boys) + (number of girls) = 180 students total
4y+5y = 180
9y = 180
y = 180/9
y = 20
making,
number of girls = 5*y
number of girls = 5*20
number of girls = 100
so there are 100 girls at Meadow Middle School
-----------------------------------------
In summary so far, there are...
120 girls at Deacon Middle School
100 girls at Meadow Middle School
In total 120+100 = 220 girls from both schools
This is out of 270+180 = 450 students total
Divide the two values (220 and 450) to get
220/450 = 22/45
The final answer is 22/45
It cannot be reduced further as there are no common factors (other than 1) between 22 and 45
