Out of every 11 students 7 were girls. Set up the following proportion.
11/7 = 77/x Cross multiply
11x = 7*77
x = 7*77/11
x = 49
49 of the student council members were girls.
When solving for a variable in an equation, get it separated from the others onto one side typically the left hand side and rest onto the opposite side usually the right hand side.
V = x / t
First, let us get the 't' variable out of denominator position and then it will be easier to work with.
V * t = (x / t) * t
Why did I multiply each side by 't' and not just the "x / t" expression? That is because every operation we do on one side, we must also do on the opposite side.
Okay, now we get the following equation.
V * t = x
We removed the 't' variable from denominator and in fact, it doesn't even exist anymore on the right hand side!
To complete this question, all we have to do is divide each side by 'V' and we are done!
(V * t) / V = x / V
Comes out to:
t = x / V
And there is your answer! Hope this helps with your adventure in learning Algebra!
What are the other measurements?
Answer:
A=34, G=31
Step-by-step explanation:
G=A-3
2G+A=99
plug in for g 2(A-3)+A=99
distribute 2 A-3+A=99
combine like terms 3A-3=99
solve for a 3A=102 A=34
plug in a solve for g G=34-3 G=31
