Answer: 32
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 18 boys and 14 girls (4 more boys than girls. 32 students total.
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
8x + 4(x - 3) = 4(6x + ) -4
8x +(4)(x) + (4)(-3) = (4)(6x) + (4)(4) + -4 (distribute)
8x + 4x + -12 = 24x + 16 + -4
(8x) + (4x) +(-12) = (24x) + (16 + -4) (combine like terms)
12x + -12 = 24x + 12
12x -12 = 24x + 12
Step 2: Subtract 24x from both sides.
12x -12 -24x = 24x + 12 -24x
-12x -12 = 12
Step 3: Add 12 to both sides.
-12x - 12 + 12 = 12 + 12
-12x = 24
Step 4: Divide both sides by -12.
-12x/-12 = 24/-12 <u>x = -2</u>
HOPE THIS HELPED!!!
What you would do is you would substitute each ordered pair into their respective variables. (ie. for (0,1) you would put 0 where the x is and 1 where the y is) You would then solve the equation. If the equation is not even (ie. 2=5 would not be even but 4=4 would be), you move on to the next ordered pair.
If you follow the process right and you get the equations correct, the answer should be B. (7,-2)
