What do u need help with ????
Answer:
boys = 705
girls = 783
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to find the number of boys and girls in the school
the answer can be determined using simultaneous equation
x = boys
y = girls
y - x = 78 equation 1
y + x = 1488 equation 2
subtract equation 1 from 2
2x = 1410
x = 1410/2 = 705
Substitute for x in equation 1
y - 705 = 78
y = 705 + 78 = 783
Answer:
12/30
Step-by-step explanation:
See the picture and let me know if you have any questions
3 over 5 x minus 15 = 6 over 5 x plus 12
3/5x - 15 = 6/5x +12
-3/5x+3/5x-15=6/5x-3/5x+12 subtraction property
-15=3/5x+12 simplified
-12-15=3/5x+12-12 subtraction property
-27=3/5x simplified
(5/3)(-27)=3/5 (5/3)x multiplicative inverse
-45=x
