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

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the objects acceleration. When a force of 35 N acts on
Genrish500 [490]
<h3>Answer:  3 m/s^2</h3>

=======================================================

According to Newton's Second Law, we know that

F = m*a

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and 'a' is the acceleration.

We see that this is a direct variation equation for F and a, such that m is the constant of variation. It's similar to how y = kx is also a direct variation equation.

Plug in F = 35 and a = 5 to find m

F = ma

35 = m*5

35/5 = m

7 = m

m = 7

The object has a mass of 7 kg

Our equation F = ma updates to F = 7a

Now plug in the force F = 21 to find 'a'

F = 7a

21 = 7a

21/7 = a

3 = a

a = 3

The acceleration will be 3 m/s^2

Notice how a smaller force applied means that the acceleration has also gone down as well.
