Answer:
(42, 21) or (–42, –21)
Step-by-step explanation:
let A(x, y), A on line 2y = x
distance
x² + y² = 2205
(2y)² + y² = 2205
y² = 441
y = ±21
x = ±42
By cross-multiplying, we get
15x + 30 = 24
15x = -6
x = -3 / 5
Hello,
So they don't intersect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey there!
When dealing with percent word problems, the word "is" means equals. Let's see what we can do with your problem.
If the small school had 60% boys, it will have 40% girls. The number of boys <em>is</em> 48, which should equal 60% of the total, which we can model below, with t representing the total number of kids. In decimal form, 60% is 0.6.
0.6t=48
We divide both sides by 0.6.
t=80
Therefore, there are 80 total kids at the school.
We can also check our answer below.
BOYS: 0.6(80)= 48
GIRLS: 0.4(80)=32
48+32=80
I hope that this helps!
