Replace x and y with known values:
10 = a x b(1) and 20= axb(2)
We can find that a x b must equal 10
Replacing a and b with with numbers we find that a = 5 and b = 2
So now you Ming that in the equation you can find the answer would be (3,30)
1) Ratio - 4:1
thus, 4x + 1x = 20
5x = 20
thus, x = 20/5 = 4
thus, x = 4
and, 4x = 16
Thus, the answer is (C) 16 boys and 4 girls
2) According to distributivity, a(b+c) = ab + ac
Thus, the answer is (C)
The sample of the population consists of those that were surveyed; therefore,
<span>All students who attend one middle school and one high school in Houston, TX
</span>
Lana = x
Pam = 0.5x - 0.05
Cheryl = 0.5x - 0.05 + 3.10
Total 89$ = Lana + Pam + Cheryl
89 = x + 0.5x - 0.05 + 0.5x - 0.05 + 3.10
89 = 2x + 3
89 - 3 = 2x
86 = 2x
86/2 = x
43 = x
then Pam = 0.5(43) - 0.05
= 21.50 - 0.05
= 21.45
Cheryl = 21.45 + 3.10
= 24.55
