Answer:

<em>There are 12 boys and 18 girls</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

There are 30 students in a class. Let's call:

x = number of boys

Since the sum of boys and girls is 30:

30 - x = number of girls

The ratio of boys to girls is 2:3, thus:

\displaystyle \frac{x}{30-x}=\frac{2}{3}

Crossing denominators:

3x = 2(30 - x)

Operating the parentheses:

3x = 60 - 2x

Adding 2x:

5x = 60

Dividing by 5:

x = 60/5 = 12

x = 12

There are 12 boys and 30-12=18 girls

Which of the following points IS a solution to the system: y &gt; - 3x + 4 / y &gt; 2x / - y &lt; 7 Selected answer is not corre
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Solution : Third Option

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step here is to make all the signs uniform. As you can see the third inequality has a less than sign, which we can change to a greater than sign by dividing negative one on either side, making the inequality y > - 7.

\begin{bmatrix}y>-3x+4\\ y>2x\\ y>-7\end{bmatrix}

Now take a look at the third option. Of course the y - coordinate, 3, is greater than - 7, so it meets the third requirement ( y > - 7 ). At the same time 3 > 1( 2 ) > 2, and hence it meets the second requirement as well. 3 > - 3( 1 ) + 4 > - 3 + 4 > 1, meeting the first requirement.

Therefore, the third option is a solution to the system.

Which method correctly solves the equation using the multiplication property of equality and the reciprocal of One-third? One-th
Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation \frac{1}{3}(x+9) = -12

Step 1;

Expand the bracket at the right hand side of the equation to have:

\frac{1}{3}x +\frac{1}{3}(9) = -12\\\frac{1}{3}x+3=-12\\subtracting\ 3\ from\ both\ sides\\\frac{1}{3}x+3-3=-12-3\\\frac{1}{3}x=-15\\

Taking the reciprocal of both sides:

\frac{3}{x} = \frac{-1}{15} \\ cross\ multiplying\\-x =45\\x=-45

This is for a retake for geometry pls help
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

B. 40, 51.5, 88.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x - 4) + (2x + 3) + (3x- 4) = 180

10x - 5 = 180

10x = 185

x= 18.5

Substitute

5(18.5) - 4 = 88.5

2(18.5) + 3 = 40

3(18.5) - 4 = 51.5
