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 solution to this inequality?<br>4(2x + 2) + 12 &gt; 100<br>please help!!​
skad [1K]

Subtract 12 from both sides

4(2x + 2) > 100 - 12

Simplify 100 - 12 to 88

4(2x + 2) > 88

Divide both sides by 4

2x + 2 > 88/4

Simplify 88/4 to 22

2x + 2 > 22

Subtract 2 from both sides

2x > 22 - 2

Simplify 22 - 2 to 20

2x > 20

Divide both sides by 2

x > 20/2

Simplify 20/2 to 10

<u>x > 10</u>

Pilar and Ravi start at opposite ends of a 55-mile bike trail. They start riding their bikes toward each other at the same time.
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Ravi’s average speed is 7 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating what Ravi’s average speed was.

We must know that the term average speed is mathematically equal to Total distance/ Total time

We already have the time of 3 hours, what is needed is the distance.

From the question, we can see that they met at the point where Pilar had travelled 55 miles. What this means is that Ravi would have traveled (55-34) miles to this point since they are coming in opposite direction. This means that Ravi had traveled 21 miles

Thus his average speed is 21 miles/ 3 hours = 7 miles per hour

The segments in each figure are tangent to the circle. Find each length.
zubka84 [21]
The tangents are equal length, so
.. 8x = x^2
We presume their length is not zero, so we can divide by x to get
.. 8 = 2x
.. 4 = x

Then the length of each tangent is 8*4 = 32 units.

FG ∥ CB, A ∈ FG, D ∈ AB, E ∈ AC
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The value of x is 31^{\circ}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please look at the figure attached to get more clear solution.

We have given:

FG||CB

And the line that cut the parallel line is transversal so, here BA is transversal

And alternate interior angles on transverse line are equal

So, ∠1=∠4

And ∠4=28^{\circ}

Hence,  ∠1=∠4=28^{\circ}

And On FG the sum of angles will be 180^{\circ}

∠3+∠2+∠1=180^{\circ}

90^{\circ}+∠2+28^{\circ}=180^{\circ}

Hence, ∠2=62^{\circ}

Now, we know that the sum of interior angles is equal to the exterior angle:

Therefore, ∠2+∠5=∠6+∠7

62^{\circ}+3x=x+4x

On simplification we get:

2x=62^{\circ}

x=31^{\circ}

Hence, the value of x is 31^{\circ}.
