Answer:

boys = 705

girls = 783

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the number of boys and girls in the school

the answer can be determined using simultaneous equation

x = boys

y = girls

y - x = 78  equation 1

y + x  = 1488 equation 2

subtract equation 1 from 2

2x = 1410

x = 1410/2 = 705

Substitute for x in equation 1

y - 705 = 78

y = 705 + 78 = 783

Find x and y<br><br> helppppp !!
Anni [7]

3x + 6 = 48 (alternate angles are equal)

- 6

3x. = 42

÷3

x = 14 degrees

180-48 - 2y + 5y-9 =180

123 + 3y = 180

-123

3y = 57

÷3

y = 19 degrees

Explanation:

To find the last angle on the top straight line, do:

180 - (the 2 given angles).

So, 180 - (3x + 16, which is 48 due to alternate angles being equal). Then, minus the 2y.

(180 - 48 - 2y) & simplify => 132 - 2y

This gives you the equation for the missing angle on our top straight line.

Thus, co-interior angles add to 180. So, we add the new equation (132 - 2y) to 5y - 9.

Simplify

=> 123 + 3y (because - 2+5 =3)

and put it equal to 180. Solve for y

Hope this helps!

Nicole has 17 nickels n and dimes d. If the value of her coins is $1.30, how many of each coin does she have?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

  8 nickels and 9 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

If all were dimes, the value would be $1.70. It is $0.40 less than that. Changing a dime for a nickel reduces the value by $0.05, so there must have been $0.40/$0.05 = 8 such changes.

There are 8 nickels and 9 dimes.

_____

<em>Check</em>

8 · 0.05 + 9 · 0.10 = 0.40 + 0.90 = 1.30 . . . the answer checks OK

Explain how an estimate helps you place the decimal point when multiplying 3.7 times 5.1
Yuki888 [10]
An estimate helps you place the decimal point because when you place 3.7 and 5.1 to multiply you have to count how many spaces of numbers there are. So the answer is 18.87.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

D 40,000nm

Step-by-step explanation: 1nm/10^-9m * 10^-6/1um = 10^3 nm/um

Therefore in 40 microns there are:

40um * 10^3 nm/um = 40 * 10^3 nm = 40,000 nm
