Answer:

<h3>48 people is the right answer.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of male and female be 3x and 5x

There are twelve more females than males

According to the above problem,

$5x - 3x=12\\ 2x = 12\\ x = \frac{12}{2} \\ \boxed{x = 6}$

Therefore, the numbers of male is

$3x = 3 \times 6 = 18$

and number of female is

$5x = 5 \times 6 = 30$

Hence, total number of people are

$(30 + 18) = 48$

There are 48 people in the party.

PLEASE HELP

Those two functions just miss each other so there are no real solutions. Every polynomial with complex coefficients has complex solutions.

$2x^2 + 2 = 3x$

$2x^2 - 3x = -2$

$2( x^2 - \frac 3 2 x) = -2$

$x^2 - \frac 3 2 x = -1$

$x^2- \frac 3 2 x+ (\frac 3 4)^2= -1 + (\frac 3 4 )^2$

$(x - \frac 3 4)^2 = -\frac 7{16}$

$x - \frac 3 4 = \pm \sqrt{ -\frac 7{16}}$

$x = \frac 3 4 \pm \frac i 4 \sqrt{7}$

$x = \frac 1 4(3 \pm i \sqrt{7})$

The blueprint for a new swimming pool uses the scale 3/4 inch = 2 feet. If the actual dimensions of the pool will be 8 ft wide b

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The dimensions of the pool on the blueprint would be 3 in wide by 4.5 in long.

Step-by-step explanation:

First I turned 3/4 into a decimal, which would be 0.75. The I divided the dimensions of the pool by two. This way I could multiply the .75 by how many sets of two feet there were in the dimensions. Finally I multiplied 4 by .75 and I multiplied 6 by .75. That is how I found my answer.

Anyone by chance know how to answer this geometry question I need help so bad

Answer:

x = -8 and BDC is 68 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine -7x+12 and -8x+48 to get -15x+60. Since BDA is a straight angle put the above equation to get -15x+60=180. Subtract 60 from both sides to get -15x=120. Divide -15 both sides to get -8 as your x value. Plug in -8 to BDC, since both negatives are being multiplied, it would turn to a positive number which is 56, add 12 to get 68 as your final result for BDC.
