Answer:90

Step-by-step explanation:Hi.

Here is your answer---

Let the number of Students in a school be x.

Thus,Number of Girls = 3/7 of the total Students

= 3/7 of x

= 3x/7

We know,

Number of Boys + Number of Girls = Total Students.

64 + 3x/7 = x

64 = x - 3x/7

64 = (7x - 3x) /7 [Taking L.C.M.]

64 × 7 = 4x

x = 60 × 7

x = 420

Total number of Students in a school is 420.

Thus, Number of Girls = 3/7 × x

= 3/7 × 420

= 90

Thus, the number of Girls in a school is 90.

Solve for www. Give an exact answer in simplified form. 53w+13 < 56w + 16

ki77a [65]

The solution will be: $w>-1$

Explanation

The given inequality is: $53w+13 < 56w + 16$

First we will subtract $56w$ from both sides. So.....

$53w+13-56w$

Now we will subtract 13 from both sides. So.....

$-3w$

Then we need to divide both sides by -3. As here we are dividing the inequality by a negative number, so we need to switch the inequality symbol. So, we will get.......

$\frac{-3w}{-3}>\frac{3}{-3}\\ \\ w>-1$

Thus, the solution will be: $w>-1$

Solve for h. 15.3 + 1 h =1.3- 1 h

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

-7 = h

Step-by-step explanation:

15.3 + 1h = 1.3 - 1h

+1h +1h

15.3 + 2h = 1.3

Remember what you do to one side you MUST do to the other.

15.3 + 2h = 1.3

-15.3 -15.3

2h = -14

Now to isolate the variable you divide both sides by 2 to get, h = -7

Hope that helps and have a great day!
