Answer:

161 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the even amount of boys and girls out of 386

386 divided by 2 = 193

Then you subtract 32 boys and add the 32 to girls since there are 32 more girls than boys

(boys) 193 - 32 = 161

(girls) 193 + 32 = 225

So there are 161 boys and 225 girls

What is the slope of this line?

shutvik [7]

I think it’s -1 because with rise/run it goes down 2 and over 2 but the line is going down, so it’s negative.

What is the result of substituting for y in the bottom equation y=x+3 y=x^2+2x-4

8_murik_8 [283]

The solutions are (2.1925, 5.1925) and (-3.1925, -0.1925)

Solution:

Given that,

$y = x + 3 ------- eqn 1\\\\y = x^2 + 2x - 4 ----- eqn 2$

We have to substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

$x + 3 = x^2 + 2x - 4$

$\mathrm{Switch\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-4=x+3\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}3\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-4-3=x+3-3\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^2+2x-7=x\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-7-x=x-x\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^2+x-7=0$

$\mathrm{Solve\:with\:the\:quadratic\:formula}\\\\\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=1,\:c=-7\\\\x =\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-7\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$
