The answer is -11
You put "-1" in place of all the "a"s and get
-(-1) - 12(-1)^2
-(-1) is just 1, and (-1)^2 is "1"
We are then left with 1-12(1) which is 1-12 which is -11
Let x be the number of boys, the number of girls will be 200-x
Number of boys with blue eyes x/3
Number of girls with blue eyes (200-x)/4
ll blue eyes ==> x/3 + (200-x)/4 = 57
Reduce to same denominator & solve for x
(4x + 600 - 3x)/12 = 681/12
x=81, the total number of boys & girls200-81 119
5x + 14 = 26
subtract 14 on both sides
5x = 26 - 14
5x = 12
Divide 5 on both sides
x = 12/5
x = 2.4
That's only to the nearest tenth. To make it to the hundreth, just add another 0 at the end. It doesn't change the value of it.
x = 2.40 is your final answer.
<span>(B)rational
if there were no discernible pattern in the digits, then it would be irrational</span>
Assuming the +'s are actually x's 1/2 of 3 is 1.5 and 1.5 divided by 7 is 1.5/7.(answer is 1.5/7) hopefully I'm right.
