Answer:

1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to make a system of equations for the situation.

Let G represent the number of girls and B represent the number of boys.

Since there are twice as many girls as boys,

G = 2B

There are a total of 30 students in class so,

G + B = 30

or

G + B = TOTAL

In order to find the ratio of BOYS to the TOTAL STUDENTS,

you plug in B values that make up G.

(2B ) + B = TOTAL

3B = TOTAL

B = TOTAL / 3 or (1/3) TOTAL

Since B is one third of the total number of students, the ratio is 1:3.

Can someone please explain this!<br> (-5x^2+3)-(-x^3+9x^2+9)
Anastasy [175]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x^3 -14x^2 -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Your expression is the difference of two polynomials. The parentheses can be removed by using the distributive property. The minus sign outside the second set of parentheses applies to each term inside parentheses.

  -5x^2 +3 +x^3 -9x^2 -9

Now, you can group like terms. In "standard form", the degrees of the terms decrease from left to right.

  x^3 +(-5x^2 -9x^2) +(3 -9)

And combine like terms.

  x^3 -14x^2 -6 . . . . . simplified form of the given expression
