I think the answer would be 99
you multiply 9 and 11 and get 99
Do you have any graphs because that would be more clear
Answer:
No, Angela is not correct.
As the method Jim was performing will also lead to the solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given first equation as:
Ax + By = C
Second equation is:
Dx + Ey = F
Jim solved the equation as:
He begins by multiplying equation (1) by D and equation (2) by A.
and so by subtracting both the equations he will obtain a value of y.
and then put the y-value in any of the given two equations to obtain the value of x.
Angela Method:
you should have multiplied equation (1) by E and equation (2) by B.
and when she will subtract both the equations she will get the value of x first and then when she will put the value of x in any of the given equation she will obtain the value of y.
But both will get a value for x and y.
Hence, the method Jim was performing was also correct.
Answer:
0.02<x<0.80
0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
0.02 is equal to 2/100 and 0.8 is equal to 80/100
so you could really choose any number between 0.03 and 0.79
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
