44

Step-by-step explanation:

let boys be x and girls be y

x/y=5/6

x=5y/6....(1)

if 6 boys join the club that will be x+6

Therefore:

(x+6)/y=13/12

13y=12x+72

13y-12x=72

Recall x=5y/6

Therefore:

13y-12(5y/6)=72

13y-(2*5y)=72

13y-10y=72

3y=72

y=24 people

Therefore:

x=(5*24)/6

x=20 people

Therefore people in the club before are 20+24=44

PLZ HELP STUCK ON THIS QUESTION 4a + 6b = 24 6a - 12b = -6 Given the equations what is the value of a+b? PLZ HELP WILL MARK BRAI
Paul [167]

Answer:

a + b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of equations, we can use a strategy called elimination, which is when we get rid of a variable by adding/subtracting two equations.

Firstly, we want to make sure the absolute value of the coefficients that equal.

Lets eliminate b:

4a + 6b = 24

Multiply both sides by 2:

8a + 12b = 48

We also have:

6a - 12b = -6.

Now lets add that with

8a + 12b = 48

-> 6a + 8a + 12b - 12b = 48 -6

-> 14a = 42

-> a = 3

Now that we know a, lets plug it into one of our original equations:

4(3) + 6b = 24

12 + 6b = 24

6b = 12

b = 2

Finally, add the two values we found:

a+b = 2+3= 5

P=2L+2W<br><br>solve for L <br>do the entire equation
VashaNatasha [74]
HEY THEIR!!

Taking commen 2 in RHS
p = 2 (L+W )

Divide by 2 on both sides.
p/2 = L+W

Subtract W on both sides.
p/2 - W = L

or L = p/2- W
