Answer:

Number of boys who attended the community service event = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ denotes number of girls and $y$ denotes number of boys.

Twenty-six students attended the community service event.

So,

$x+y=26$

The number of girls was 4 fewer than twice the number of boys.

$x=2y-4$

Put $x=2y-4$ in $x+y=26$

$2y-4+y=26\\3y=26+4\\3y=30\\y=10$

So,

Number of boys who attended the community service event = 10

How to solve 10-3(3x-40)=-9x

vichka [17]

<span>Simplifying 10 + -3(3x + -40) = -9x

Reorder the terms: 10 + -3(-40 + 3x) = -9x
10 + (-40 * -3 + 3x * -3) = -9x
10 + (120 + -9x) = -9x

Combine like terms: 10 + 120 = 130 130 + -9x = -9x

Add '9x' to each side of the equation. 130 + -9x + 9x = -9x + 9x

Combine like terms: -9x + 9x = 0 130 + 0 = -9x + 9x 130 = -9x + 9x

Combine like terms: -9x + 9x = 0 130 = 0

Solving 130 = 0
Couldn't find a variable to solve for. This equation is invalid, the left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution.</span>

Give the following number in Base 16<br>NO LINKS!!!

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

$\large{\boxed{35_{10} = \sf 23_{16}}}$

Explanation:

$\sf Given : 35_{10}$

Compute:

35 ÷ 16 = 2.1875 = 2R3

2 ÷ 16 = 0.125 = 0R2

Jot down the remainders:

3 ↑

2 ↑

======

$\sf Answer : \ 35_{10} = 23_{16}$

$\hrulefill$

Let's look at another example: $\sf 325_{10} = [?]_{16}$

Compute:

325 ÷ 16 = 20.3125 = 20R5

20 ÷ 16 = 1.25 = 1R4

1 ÷ 16 = 0.0625 = 0R1

Jot down remainders:

5 ↑

4 ↑

1 ↑

=====

$\sf 325_{10} = [145]_{16}$

$\hrulefill$

Another example: $\sf 500_{10} = [?]_{15}$

Compute:

500 ÷ 15 = 33.33... = 33R5

33 ÷ 15 = 2.2 = 2R3

2 ÷ 15 = 0.13... = 0R2

Jot down remainders:

A student solves the following equation and determines that the solution is −2. Is the student correct? Explain. 3 a + 2 − 6a a2

Ganezh [65]

For this case, we have the following equation (according to the comments):

$\frac{3}{a+2} - \frac{6a}{a^2-4} = \frac{1}{a-2}$

First, we factor the quadratic expression in the denominator:

$\frac{3}{a+2} - \frac{6a}{(a-2)(a+2)} = \frac{1}{a-2}$

Then, we multiply both sides of the equation by (a-2) (a + 2):

$\frac{3(a-2)(a+2)}{a+2} - \frac{6a(a-2)(a+2)}{(a-2)(a+2)} = \frac{(a-2)(a+2)}{a-2}$

Later, canceling similar terms we have:

$3(a-2) - 6a = a+2$

We do distributive property on the left side of the equation:

$3a-6-6a=a+2$

By grouping variables and constant terms we have:

$3a - 6a -a = 2+6$

Rewriting we have:

$-4a=8$

Finally, by clearing "a" we have:

$a=-\frac{8}{4} a=-2$

Note: the value of a is a extraneous solution because it makes the denominator of the original equation equal to zero.

Answer:

the student correct, but the value of a= -2 is an extraneous solution
