Answer:

24 boys & 20 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year:

Number of boys = x

Total number = 45

Number of girls = 45 - x

An increase of 20% is the same as multiplying by 1.2

A decrease of 10% is the same as multiplying by 0.8

This year:

New number of boys: 1.2x

New number of girls: 0.8(45 - x)

New total number = 45 - 1 = 44

1.2x + 0.8(45 - x) = 44

1.2x + 36 - 0.8x = 44

0.4x + 36 = 44

0.4x = 8

x = 20

Last year there were 20 boys and 25 girls.

This year there are 20 * 1.2 = 24 boys

and 44 - 24 = 20 girls

Answer: 24 boys & 20 girls

7. The Quotient
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

<h3>The number is 500</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

The quotient of a number divided by five is written as

\frac{x}{5}

the number decreased by 400 is written as

x - 400

Equate the two expressions

We have

\frac{x}{5}  = x - 400

Multiply through by 5

That's

x = 5x - 2000

x - 5x = - 2000

- 4x = - 2000

Divide both sides by - 4

x = 500

Hope this helps you

If you have 2 different slopes what is true about the slopes
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines have different slopes, they cannot be the same line. If they share a y-intercept, that means they cross the y -axis at the same y value.  If they share an x value and corresponding y value, they intersect at that point, in this case their y-intercept.

Hope this helped!!
