At the 6th grade school dance there are 132 boys, 88 girls and 14 adults. What is the ratio of boys to girls

1 answer:

5 0

The adult's genders aren't specified so that doesn't matter.

There are 132 boys for every 88 girls

(132:88)

To simplify the ratio, divide both numbers by the GFC (Divide both sides by 44)

3:2

There are 3 boys for every 2 girls

22x+70=17x-95 show step by step please

$22x + 70 = 17x - 95$
Move variables to the left by adding their opposites to both sides. Eliminate the opposites.

$22x - 17x + 70 = - 95$
Move constants to the right by adding their opposites to both sides. Eliminate the opposites.

$22x - 17x = - 95 - 70$
Collect the like terms by subtracting their coefficients and numbers.

$5x = - 95 - 70$
Calculate the sum or difference. Extract the negative sign from the expression. Add the numbers.

$5x = - 165$
Divide both sides of the equation by 5 and calculate the quotient.

$x = - 33$
