Answer:
12 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question:
Number of boys = 3
Number of girls = 2
Boys: Girls
3:2
Let :
a = boys
b = girls
Hence, a : b = 3 : 2
a/b = 3/2
Cross Multiply
2a = 3b .......... Equation 1
a = 3b/2
If four more girls join the class, there will be the same number of boys and girls
Hence,
a: b + 4 = 3 : 3
a/b + 4 = 3/3
Cross Multiply
3a = 3(b + 4)
3a = 3b + 12 ........ Equation (2)
From Equation 1: a = 3b/2
Substitute 3b/2 for a in Equation 2 we have:
3a = 3b + 12 .........Equation 2
3(3b/2) = 3b + 12
9b/2 = 3b + 12
Cross Multiply
9b = 2(3b + 12)
9b= 6b + 24
9b - 6b = 24
3b = 24
b = 8
Substitute 8 for b in Equation 1
a = 3b/2
a = 3 × 8/2
a = 24/2
a = 12
Therefore, the number of boys in the class is 12
The first equation will go up by 2.5 and if it were changed to y=3X+2 it will go up by 8
Answer:
54:73
Step-by-step explanation:
There is more 54's then any other number
73 is the median
Answer:
y = -3x/2 + 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, basically what you do is modify it so that y is on one side.
3x+2y = 5
2y = 5-3x
y = (5-3x)/2
y = 5/2 -3x/2
So, the answer is the second option.
