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

Which point could be removed in order to make the relation a function? (–9, –8), (–{(8, 4), (0, –2), (4, 8), (0, 8), (1, 2)}
stepan [7]

We are given order pairs  (–9, –8), (–{(8, 4), (0, –2), (4, 8), (0, 8), (1, 2)}.

We need to remove in order to make the relation a function.

<em>Note: A relation is a function only if there is no any duplicate value of x coordinate for different values of y's of the given relation.</em>

In the given order pairs, we can see that (0, –2) and (0, 8) order pairs has same x-coordinate 0.

<h3>So, we need to remove any one (0, –2) or (0, 8) to make the relation a function.</h3>

A circle has an initial radius of 50 ft when the radius begins decreasing at the rate of 5 5 ​ft/min. What is the rate in the ch
gavmur [86]

Answer:

  -816.8 ft²/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of area is the product of the rate of change of radius and the circumference of the circle. At the time of interest, ...

  dA/dt = C·dr/dt = 2πr·dr/dt

  dA/dt = 2π·(26 ft)(-5 ft/min)

  dA/dt = -260π ft²/min ≈ -816.8 ft²/min
