Answer:

150 boys were enrolled in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys enrolled in 2012 be x

Let the number of girls enrolled in 2012 be x + 200

Ratio of boys to girls in 2012 enrollment = 3/7

Now;

3/7 = x/x + 200

7x = 3(x + 200)

7x = 3x + 600

7x - 3x = 600

4x = 600

x = 600/4

x = 150 boys

Hence, 150 boys were enrolled in 2012

12x - 2y = -1<br>+ 4x + 6y= -4<br>​
svp [43]

Answer:

x = -7/40 , y = -11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)

4 x + 6 y = -4 | (equation 2)

Subtract 1/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+(20 y)/3 = (-11)/3 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 3:

{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+20 y = -11 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 20:

{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = (-11)/20 | (equation 2)

Add 2 × (equation 2) to equation 1:

{12 x+0 y = (-21)/10 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -11/20 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 12:

{x+0 y = (-7)/40 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -11/20 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer:  {x = -7/40 , y = -11/20

The credit remaining on a phone card (in dollors) is a linear function of the total calling trime made with the card ( in minute
KATRIN_1 [288]

After 85 minutes of calls, there are $27.25 left on the card.

<h3>What is the remaining credit after 85 minutes of calls?</h3>

A linear equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope.

If the line passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is:

a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

In this case, we know that the line passes through the points (22, 36.7) and (52, 32,20)

(points of the form (time, dollars)).

So the slope is:

a = \frac{32.2 - 36.7}{52 -22} = -0.15

The linear equation is then:

y = -0.15*x + b

To find the value of b, we use the point (22. 36.7)

36.7 = -0.15*22 + b

36.7 + 0.15*22 = b = 40

Then the linear equation is:

y = -0.15*x +40

The amount remaining in the credit card after 85 minutes is given by evaluating the above equation in x = 85.

y = -0.15*85 + 40 = 27.25

This means that after 85 minutes of calls, there are $27.25 left on the card.
