Answer:
The number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of number of girls to the boys = 3 : 5
Let the number of girls is g and boys is b initially.
b : g = 3 : 5
5 b = 3 g ..... (1)
Now, girls are 6 + g and boys are b - 9
So, the ratio is
(b - 9) : (6 + g) = 1 : 4
4 b - 36 = 6 + g
4 b - g = 42 .... (2)
From ( 1 ) and ( 2 )
And , g = 5 x 18/3 = 30
So, the number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.
Answer:
X = 1
Y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
we have to figure out what x and y = that make both answers correct
3 x 1 = 3
3 + 5 = 8
That means that the first equation is right with X = 1 and Y = 5
Let's see the second equation
5 x 1 = 5
5 + 5 = 10
That means both equations are right so the answer would be
X = 1 and
Y = 5
Answer: zero
Explanation: if one classroom on its own needed 17 gallons of paint and they only purchased 16,-- which is less than needed for one classroom- how would there be enough for any other classroom?
Answer:
X = 51
Y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
2 numbers: (Larger) Number 1 is x and Number 2 is y
The equation is x + y = 63
New equation is:
Combine like variables:
Solve:
- 4y + 15 - 15 = 63 - 15
- 4y = 48
Divide 4 from each side:
To find x fill in the variables from the 'x =' equation:
- x = 3y + 15
- x = 3( 12) + 15
- <em><u>x = 51</u></em>
In short, you use 1, since any number is itself times 1, or whatever = whatever * 1
