45% of 40 is 0.45×40=18 girls
if x girls join then 56% of 40+x is 0.56(40+x)=18+x
22.4+0.56x=18+x
put together like terms
4.4=0.44x
<span>x=10 girls joined</span>
It would be 10 as translating the line doesn't make it bigger or smaller<span />
The common factor of 7 and 15 is 1
Divide both numbers by 2 you get 31/177
Answer:
3.75 or 15/4
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+5=35
Subtract 5 from the left side to cancel it out, do the same thing to 35.
8x=30
Divide 8x by 8 to get x alone, do the same thing to 30.
x=3.75, or once you simplify 30/8, you get 15/4.
