40 boys and 68 girls
let's start with variables and an equation.
boys: x
girls: 2x - 12
and we know that boys and girls make up the class. so let's add the two expressions.
x + 2x - 12 = 108
3x - 12 = 108
+ 12 + 12
3x = 120
x = 40 boys
BUT x is only the number of BOYS in the class. so we have to find girls now. let's plug in our value of x into the girls' equation.
2x - 12 = # of girls
2(40) -12 = # of girls
80 - 12 = # of girls
68 girls
let's check our answer!
68 + 40 does in fact add to 108, therefore our answer is correct.
Can you please delete this. I have answered it wrong. Thanks
Answer:
a=7.85-1/2^b
Step-by-step explanation:
2a=15.7-b Move variable to the right side and change its sign
2a=15.7-b Divide both sides of the equation by 2
a=7.85-1/2^b The final solution for a is
Answer:
-0.89 (i think)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the graph seems to be going downwards from the right, it has a negative correlation. And since the data seems to be pretty close together, the correlation must be strong. That narrows the answer down to -0.89
If its wrong then i'm not a smart person, and it's -0.15
