Answer:
x=# of boys
x+7=# of girls
x+x+7=25
2x+7=25
2x=25-7
2x=18
x=18/2
x=9 boys
x+7=16 girls

Given,
The distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL = 173 miles
The distance between Indianapolis and Dayton, ID = 165 miles
The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL is unknown
Since there are straight roads connecting the three cities, the connection between them form a right angles triangle.
The right angle is at Dayton
The hypotenuse is the distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL
Therefore IL^2 = ID^2 + DL^2
173^2 = 165^2 + DL^2
DL^2 = 173^2 – 165^2
DL^2 = 29929 – 27225
DL^2 = 2704
DL = 52 miles
Therefore, The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL = 52 miles
The question is asking how many more miles would Meg drive if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.
That is, Distance of Indianapolis to Dayton + Distance of Dayton to Lima – Direct distance of Indianapolis to Lima
That is, ID + DL – IL
= 165 miles + 52 miles – 173 miles
= 217 miles – 173 miles
= 44 miles
Therefore, Meg would drive 44 more miles if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.
one correct equation would be 2x=28 to depict the amount of money earned and then you would do 28/3 to find out the amount of money they each have after splitting the money they earned.
-2log_5 7x = log_5 2
log_5[1/(7x)^2] = log_5 2
log_5(1/49x^2) = log_5 2
log_5(1 - 49x^2) = log_5 2
1 - 49x^2 = 2
You finish.
H= 4 because volume of a prism is V=Bh and V=96 and B = 24 so it would be left as 96=24h
So in order to find h we have to divide 24 by each number to find h alone so 24 divided by 24 equals 0 and 96 divided by 24 equals 4 so your answer is 4. Also, if you put the equation together after you find 4 you will see it all adds up. 96=24(4) which is correct
