Answer: There are 56 boys in the 10th grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

ratio of boys to girls in the 10th grade is 8 :13

Number of girls= 91

To find the number of boys, we first find the total number of boys and girls in the 10th grade

Step 2

Now the total ratio= 8 +13=21

Number of girls = ratio of girls/ total ratio x Total number of students

91=13/ 21 x Total number of students

Total number of students =21 x 91 / 13 =147

Step 3

Therefore Number of boys =ratio of boys/ total ratio x Total number of student

8/21 x 147=56

scoundrel [369]

1.) Distribute 4 to (3x) & (8): $4*3x=12x$ , $4*8=32$
2.) Rewrite the expression: $12x+32-3$
3.) Combine like terms: $32-3=29$
4.) Rewrite the final expression: $12x+29$

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A=h(b1+b2). Express b1 in terms of A, h, and b2.

lorasvet [3.4K]

In order to find b1 from your formula stated we need to do few calculations
A=hb1+hb2, as you wee I multiply h with both bases( b1 and b2)
I will subtract hb2 from both sides
hb1=A-hb2
now I will divide my new expression by h
b1=(A-hb2)/h

If DB = 36 and AC = 3x - 3, what is the value of x?

algol13

Answer:

A.) 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DB =36, and AC is the same line, then AC = 36. The new equation is 36 = 3x - 3. Do inverse operation. Add 3 to both sides of the equation: 36+3=39 & -3+3=0. New equation is 39=3x. Finally divide. 39/3= 13.
