Answer:

72 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

120 * .60. That's how you solve it! Hope it helps!

Further explanation:

To get .60, you divide 3 by 5 which is .60

Then you multiply 120 times .60 and you'll get 72 which is 72 boys

Bonus: 120 - 72 = 48 girls!

Answer:

There are 45 boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to easily solvethis is by making equations, see below.

let \: b \: represent \: number \: of \: boys \\ let \: g \: represent \: number \: of \: girls

b + g = 120 \\ b =  \frac{3}{5} g

Now we can subtract the secons equation from the first.

g = 120 -  \frac{3}{5} g

I'm also goong to multiply the equatipn by 5 to remove the fraction.

5g =  - 3g + 600

Now simplify

8g = 600 \\ g = 75

Now we found out there are 75 girls. Now we insert this into our second equation to find how many boys there are.

b + 75 = 120 \\ b = 45

Now we know there are 45 boys.

The length of a rectangle is 5ft longer than twice the width if the perimeter is 58 ft find the length and width of the rectangl
Travka [436]
----------------------------------
Define x :
----------------------------------
Let the width be x.
Width = x
Length = 2x + 5                // Length is 5ft longer than twice the width

----------------------------------
Formula for Perimeter :
----------------------------------
Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)

----------------------------------
Find Width :
----------------------------------
58 = 2 ( 2x + 5 + x)         // Substitute Length and Width into formula
58 = 2 (3x + 5)                // Combine like terms
58 = 6x + 10                    // Apply distributive property
48 = 6x                            // Take away 10 from both sides
6x = 48                            // Switch sides. Make x the subject
x = 8                                // Divide by 6 on both sides

----------------------------------
Find Length and Width :
----------------------------------
Width = x = 8 ft
Length = 2x + 5 = 2(8) + 5 = 21 ft

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The length is 21 ft and the width is 8 ft.

PLS IM SO STUCK ITS MATH
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

y-intecept: (0,14), x-intercept: (-8,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first solve for the y-intercept, solve the equation for y to set it to slope-intercept form.

-7x+4y=56\\4y=56+7x\\y=14+\frac{7}{4}x\\y=\frac{7}{4}x+14\\

Now we have our y-intercept, 14

To solve for the x-intercept, all we have to do is set y to 0 and solve for x:

0=\frac{7}{4}x+14\\-14=\frac{7}{4}x\\-56=7x\\-8=x

Therefore our x-intercept is -8.

To find the vector (x and y value) of the x intercept, we set the y value equal to 0, such as the vector of the x-intercept is equal to (-8,0).

For the y-intercept we follow a similar approach setting the x-value equal to 0, making it (0,14)

The table shows values for functions f(x) and g(x). X f(x)=3x g(x)=2x 1 −2 19 −3 −1 13 −1 0 1 1 1 3 3 2 9 5 What is the solution
Harlamova29_29 [7]

By hit and trial of each option and also by graph, solutions to f(x) = 3ˣ and  g(x)=2x-1 will be 0 and 1.

given functions are,

f(x) = 3^x\\\\g(x) = 2x+1

let us put x=0

f(0) = 1

g(0) = 1

f(0)=g(0)=1

so 0 will be a solution.

let us put x=1

f(1)= 3

g(1) = 3

f(1)=g(1)=3

so 1 will be also a solution

let us put x=2

f(2) = 9

g(2) = 5

f(2)≠g(2)

so 2 will not be solution.

x=-2 and x=-1 clearly will not be solution because,

g(-2) = negative value but f(x) cannot be negative, being an exponential function.

<h3>what is an exponential function?</h3>

Any function in form f(x)= pˣ, where p≥1, is called an exponential function.

therefore, solutions to f(x) = g(x) will be 0 and 1.
