Answer:

89 boys to 71 girls, 89:71, or 89/71

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x+36=320

2x+36=320

2x=284

x=142

This means that there are 142 girls.

142+36=178 boys

Simplify the fraction by dividing both numbers by two.

Substitute boys in the equation for b and girls g
b+g=320
b=g+36 (because there are 36 more boys than girls)
g+36+g=320
2g+36=320
2g=320-36
2g=284
g=284/2
g=142
Since b=g+36
b=142+36
b=178

Semenov [28]

$c+b=7$
$5c+45b=195$

$c+b=7$ --> $c=7-b$
$5c+45b=195$

$5(7-b)+45b=195$
$35-5b+45b=195$
$35+40b=195$
$40b=160$
$b=4$

$c+(4)=7$
$c=3$

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line and through the given point y=-2x+1 point (0,5)

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

y = -2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x+1 is in the form y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

-2 is the slope

Parallel lines have the same slope so our new line will have the same slope

y = -2x+b

The point given is the y intercept (value when x is zero)

b = 5

y = -2x+5
