40 boys and 68 girls

let's start with variables and an equation.

boys: x

girls: 2x - 12

and we know that boys and girls make up the class. so let's add the two expressions.

x + 2x - 12 = 108

3x - 12 = 108

    + 12     + 12

3x = 120

x = 40 boys

BUT x is only the number of BOYS in the class. so we have to find girls now. let's plug in our value of x into the girls' equation.

2x - 12 = # of girls

2(40) -12 = # of girls

80 - 12 = # of girls

68 girls

let's check our answer!

68 + 40 does in fact add to 108, therefore our answer is correct.

What is the equation of the line in slope intercept form? I WILL GIVE BRAINLY
irina [24]

Answer:

y=x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is 20, as the line is on the y-axis while x is 0. The slope would be 0, because the y and x values both increase by 10, so 10/10 which simplifies to 1. The result would be y=10/10x + 20 simplifying to y=1x+20, which is y=x+20.

Hope this helps!

Answer:  3/4,  because the probability of renting a comedy is 1/4

================================================================

Explanation:

We have 36+26+30+28 = 120 students. 30 of which rented a comedy.

The probability of renting a comedy is 30/120 = (30*1)/(30*4) = 1/4

The probability of not renting a comedy is 1 - (1/4) = 4/4 - 1/4 = (4-1)/4 = 3/4.

Or you could say that 1/4 = 0.25, so 1-0.25 = 0.75 which converts to the fraction 3/4.

If you had 4 people and 1 of them rents a comedy, then the other 3 hasn't rented a comedy.
