Answer:

x=18

y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2y=24 leave this one for a sec and come back to it

x+2y=48 solve for x

x=48-2y now take this and put it in for x in the first equation

3(48-2y)-2y=24 distribute

144-6y-2y=24 now from combine like terms and subtract 144

-8y=-120 divide

y=15 take this and put it into the equation that is solved for x

x=48-2(15)

x= 48-30

x=18

Answer:

$\large \boxed{27 \, \%} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Percent error}&= &\dfrac{\lvert \text{Measured - Actual}\lvert}{ \text{Actual}} \times100 \,\%\\\\& = & \dfrac{\lvert 10 - 13.75\lvert}{13.75} \times 100 \, \% \\\\& = & \dfrac{\lvert -3.75\lvert}{13.75} \times 100 \, \%\\ \\& = & \dfrac{3.75}{13.75} \times 100 \,\%\\\\& = & 0.27 \times 100 \, \%\\& = & \mathbf{27 \, \%}\\\end{array}\\\text{The percent error is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{27 \, \%} }$}$

A grade has 81 girls and 72 boys. The grade is spilt into groups that have the same ratio of boys to girls as the whole grade. H

MariettaO [177]

There are 81 girls to every 72 boys in total, which can be represented by 81/72, which put into decimal form, is 1.125. If you then take the number of boys in the group, 16, and multiply it by this number (because the problem states that the ratio is constant) you can find the number of girls in the group.

16*1.125=18

So there are 18 girls in a group with 16 boys.
