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.

The gas tank of a 2013 Honda Accord holds 17.2 gallons. How many pounds of carbon dioxide are produced by
Murrr4er [49]
First you need to know how many pounds of carbon dioxide you get when burning 1 gallon of gasoline. That number is 19.64 pounds

To get the number of pounds released when entire tank is burned you need to multiply gas tank volume and number of pounds you get when 1 gallon is burned.

17.2 * 19.64 = 337.808
