Answer:
Bianca's height = 42 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the Bianca height.
Given:
Meredith height = 60 inches
We need to find the Bianca height.
Solution:
From the given statement the Meredith's height is 
of Bianca's height plus 32 inches, so the equation is.
Meredith's height = 
Substitute Meredith's height in above equation.
Now we solve the above equation for x.
By cross multiplication.
28 divided by 2.
Therefore, the height of the Bianca is 42 inches.
<u>ANSWER</u>
A. (4,12)
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The equations are:
and
To eliminate a variable we make the coefficients of that variable the same in both equations.
It is easier to eliminate x.
We multiply the first equation by 2 to get:
We add equations (2) and (3).
Divide both sides by 23
Put x=4 into equation (1).
The solution is (4,12)
Answer:
1.) There are twice as many girls as there are boys in a sixth grade class.

Finding a price that is 30% lower than $2075 is the same as finding a price that is 70% of $2075.
That means all we need to do is calculate what is 70% of $2075.
Convert 70% into decimal form which is 0.70.
Next, multiply $2075 by 0.70.
$2075*0.70 = $1452.50
The price the travel agent found was $1452.50
Note: If you don't know how to multiply by decimals you can multiply $2075 by 7 than divide the result by 10 (move the decimal point one place to the left).
