Answer:
7 are boys
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of equations where g is for girls and b is for boys.
b+g=26
g=3b-2
Substitute "3b-2" in for "g" in the first equation.
b+(3b-2)=26
Rewrite without the parentheses because it's addition and not multiplication.
b+3b-2=26
Combine like terms.
4b-2=26
Add 2 to both sides.
4b=28
Divide by the coefficient of the variable to get it alone.
b=7
<u>The commutative property is when you can change the order and it will be the same answer.</u>
<u>6 + 8 + 7 = 7 + 8 + 6</u> would be your answer.

(a) GEH ~ FGH ~ FEG
<em>similar triangles, use similar corners in the right order</em>
(b) 
AND 
<em>similar triangles, use similar sides in proportion</em>

<u><em>3rd photo:</em></u>
x = 4.5 or 4 1/2
<em>2x = 9</em>
<em>x = 4.5 or 4 1/2</em>
<em />
<u><em>4th photo:</em></u>
Length of string = 118.2 ft
<em>sin(40) = 76/x</em>
<em>x = 76/sin(40) = 118.2</em>
X^2-81=x^2-9^2=(x+9)(x-9)
this is the answer
