Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

Number of girls invited = x

Number of boys = x +20

3/4 of boy showed up

2/3 of girls showed up

Exactly 19 did not show up

Therefore, we could say:

Fraction of boys that didn't show up = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4

Fraction of girls that didn't show up = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

That is,

[1/4 *(x + 20)] + [1/3*x] = 19

[(x + 20) / 4] + x /3 = 19

(3(x + 20) + 4x) / 12 = 19

3x + 60 + 4x = 228

7x = 228 - 60

7x = 168

x = 168 / 7

x = 24

Number of girls, x = 24

Number of boys, x + 20 = 24 + 20 = 44

Total friends invited = (24 + 44) = 68

State the value of the discriminant of -6x^2 +2x + 3 = 0
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that for a quadratic equation in the form

ax² + bx + c = 0, the discriminant is given by

discriminant, D = b²- 4ac

we are given the following:

-6x² + 2x + 3 = 0,

comparing this with the general equation above, it is clear that,

a = -6, b = 2 and c = 3,

substituting these into our equation for discriminant:

D = b²- 4ac

= 2² - 4(-6)(3)

= 4 + 72

= 76
