Answer:
Let 3x be the number of boys
Let 2x be the number of girls
3x + 2x = 24
5x = 24
x = 4.8
3(4.8) = 14.4 boys
2(4.8) = 9.6 girls
There can't be 24 students for a ratio of 3 boys and 2 girls, because there can't be 14.4 boys and 9.6 girls, it has to be an exact number, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense.
For example, you and I are both 1 person, we can't be half a person or 0.6 of a person, only 1.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The projection of a vector
onto a vector
is defined as the projection of the vector
on the line that contains the vector
. It can be calculated using the following formula:

Where:
Is the dot product between
and
which is given by:

and:

Is the magnitude of vector which can be calculated as follows:

In this sense, the projection of vector w onto vector u is:

Where the dot product between
and
is:

And the magnitude of
is:

Thus:

i did it the dumb way and just did 3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19+21+23+25 = 168
Answer:
2 inches and 7.9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
triangle sides can't be negative or 0.
The system is
i)

ii)

In the second equation, the bases are equal, so we make the exponents equal to set the equation:
5y-4=10x-4. This means that 5y=10x, that is y=2x.
So, we can substitute y with 2x in the first equation:

.
Multiplying the second fraction by 2/2 and -1 by 2x/2x, we have:

.
Since the denominators are all equal, we can only work with the numerators, setting the equation:
-12+8x-10x+12=-2x,
simplifying we get 0-2x=-2x, that is -2x=-2x, which is always true. (Here remember that x cannot be 0 since x was in the denominator).
This means that for any (x, y) such that y=2x, the system is satisfied.
We can check that the correct statements are:
3) The point (1, 2) is a solution. (Since we have y=2x).
6) The system has infinitely many solutions. (Since any pair (x, 2x) is a solution, except when x=0)
