X=number of boys
y=number of girls.
We can suggest the following system of equations:
x+y=33
x/y=3/8
We solve this system of equations by substitution method.
x/y=3/8 ⇒x=3y/8
(3y/8)+y=33
least common multiple=8
3y+8y=33*8
11y=33*8
y=(33*8)/11
y=3*8
y=24
x+y=33
x+24=33
x=33-24
x=9
number of boys /total number of students=9/33=3/11
There are 9 boys and 24 girls in the class.
Answer: C: 9. since 3/11 of the students are boys.
by angle sum property of triangle,
70+60+(x+60)=180
=> 190 +x = 180
=> x = 180-190
=> x = -10
Answer:
See explanation and hopefully it answers your question.
Basically because the expression has a hole at x=3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h(x)=( x^2-k ) / ( hx-15 )
This function, h, has a hole in the curve at hx-15=0 if it also makes the numerator 0 for the same x value.
Solving for x in that equation:
Adding 15 on both sides:
hx=15
Dividing both sides by h:
x=15/h
For it be a hole, you also must have the numerator is zero at x=15/h.
x^2-k=0 at x=15/h gives:
(15/h)^2-k=0
225/h^2-k=0
k=225/h^2
So if we wanted to evaluate the following limit:
Lim x->15/h ( x^2-k ) / ( hx-15 )
Or
Lim x->15/h ( x^2-(225/h^2) ) / ( hx-15 ) you couldn't use direct substitution because of the hole at x=15/h.
We were ask to evaluate
Lim x->3 ( x^2-k ) / ( hx-15 )
Comparing the two limits h=5 and k=225/h^2=225/25=9.
