Answer:

there would be 52 more girls I think

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = multiplier then

31x =number of boys

44x = number of girls

Boys + girls = 300

44x + 31x =300

75x = 300

x = 300/75

x = 4 is the multiplier

therefore:

44*4 = 176 girls

31*4 = 124 boys

dif = 52 more girls than boys

hope this helped :)

Which equation represents a line that passes through the point ( 6 , − 3 ) and is parallel to the graph of y = 3 x + 1 ?

Ratling [72]

Answer:

y + 3= 3(x - 6) ← point-slope form

y = 3x - 21 ← slope-intercept form

3x - y = 21 ← standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of line it's y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point the line passing through.

y=m₁x+b₁ ║ y=m₂x+b₂ ⇔ m₁ = m₂

{Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal}

y = 3x + 1 ⇒ m₁ = 3 ⇒ m₂ = 3

(6, -3) ⇒ x₁ = 6, y₁ = -3

point-slope form:

y - (-3) = 3(x - 6)

y + 3 = 3(x - 6)

y + 3 = 3x - 18 {subtact 3 from both sides}

y = 3x - 21 ← slope-intercept form

-3x + y = -21 {multiply both sides by (-1)}

3x - y = 21 ← standard form

there are 104 red candies in a candy machine. this represents 26% of the candy in the machine. how many total are in the candy m

Alborosie

There are 400 candies in the machine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of red candies in machine = 104

This represents 26% of the total candies.

Let,

x be the total candies in the machine.

According to statement;

26% of x = 104

$\frac{26}{100}*x=104\\0.26x=104$

Dividing both sides by 0.26

$\frac{0.26x}{0.26}=\frac{104}{0.26}\\x=400$

There are 400 candies in the machine.
