72 represents 6 "units", so divide by 6 to get the number of people in one "unit":
72/6 = 12
Now multiply by 5 to get the number of boys:
12 * 5 = 60 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
- 3x+5y=7b equation 1
- 2x+4y=1
2x=-4y+1
- x=(-4y+1)/2
- x=(-4y+1)/2 in equation 1
3×(-4y+1)/2+5y=7b
(-12y+3)/2+5y=7b
(-12y+3+10y)/2=7b
(-12y+3)/2=7b
-12y+3=14b
-12y=14b-3
- y=3-14b/12
- y=3-14b/12 in x=(-4y+1)/2
x=(-4×{3-14b/12}+1)/2
x=(-3+14b)/3+1/2
x=14b/3×1/2
Answer:
Let first no. be x
Therefore,
2nd no. is x+1
Third no. is x+2
