There are 180 boys in the school.
40% of the students are girls.
120/40 = x/60
multiply 120 by 60
divide 7200 by 40
Answer:
210 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent it mathematically.
Ben drove 65 miles more than half the number of miles Steve drove, so we represent it by
B = 65 + ½S
It is also said that together, they drove 500 miles, we represent it with.
B + S = 500
Now, we solve simultaneously.
Let's eliminate the ½ in Ben's drive. So we multiply the equation by 2.
2B = 130 + S.
Rearranging, we have
S = 2B - 130.
We substitute this value of S, in the second equation. So we have.
B + (2B - 130) = 500, open the brackets
B + 2B - 130 = 500
3B - 130 = 500, collecting the like terms
3B = 500 + 130
3B = 630
B = 630/3
B = 210 miles.
Therefore, Ben drove 210 miles.

Answer:
1) 25x + 15y = 750
2) 25. On a graph it would look like : (25,0)
3) 15. On a graph it would look like : (15,0)
4) 25x - 750 = 15y or 15y - 750 = 25x
