Answer:

15 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of students in the class

students * fraction of boys = boys

x * 4/5 = 12

Multiply each side by 5/4

x * 4/5 (5/4) = 12*5/4

x =15

There are 15 students

Answer:

15 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Divide 12 by 4 because if 12 is 4/5, then to find 1/5 you have to divide 4/5 by 4 and 12 by 4

12/4=3

Step 2: Add 12+3 because 4/5+1/5=5/5

12+3=15

There are 15 students in the class, hope this helps!

What is the format of each equation. What is the answer to this question

Inessa [10]

Answer:

1The standard form for linear equations in two variables is Ax+By=C. For example, 2x+3y=5 is a linear equation in standard form. When an equation is given in this form, it's pretty easy to find both intercepts (x and y).

Rationalize the numerator of (√(3)-9)/4. When I get -78/4√(3)+36. Is that correct?

Zina [86]

That's what I got. to rationalize the numerator you have to multiply by the conjugate, in this case (√3 + 9) / (√3 + 9), which is what it looks like you did.
hope this helps! if you liked this answer please rate it as brainliest!! thank you!!!

What is the distance between (-5, -5)(−5,−5)left parenthesis, minus, 5, comma, minus, 5, right parenthesis and (-9, -2)(−9,−2)le

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$5 \:Units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points (-5,-5) and (-9,-2), the distance between the two lines is determined using the Distance Formula.

$Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n where (x_1,y_1)=(-5,-5), (x_2,y_2)=(-9,-2)\\Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-9-(-5))^2+(-2-(-5))^2}\\=\sqrt{(-9+5)^2+(-2+5)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-4)^2+(3)^2}\\=\sqrt{16+9}\\=\sqrt{25}=5 \:Units$

The distance between the points (-5,-5) and (-9,-2) is 5 Units.
