Answer:

18 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

2g = 3b

b = 12

b = boys

2g = 3*12

2g = 36

g = 36/2

How many pounds of mixed nuts that contain 70% peanuts must Shannon add to 15 pounds of mixed peanuts that contain 20% peanuts t
Degger [83]

Answer:

10 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x pounds be the amount of mixed nuts we require.

Amount of peanuts in this mix = 0.70x pounds. Amount of peanuts in the 20% mix = 0.20*15 = 3 pounds.

So we have the equation:-

0.70 x + 3 = 0.40(x + 15)

0.70 x + 3 = 0.40(x + 15)

0.70x + 3 = 0.40x + 6

0.70x - 0.40x = 6 - 3

0.30x = 3

x = 10.

L=U²A divided by (A+B)² make A the subject of formular​
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

A =  [- 2Bl + U^2 +/- √((2BL - U^2)^2 - 4B^2L^2) ] / 2L

Step-by-step explanation:

L = U^2A  / (A + B)^2

U^2 A = L(A^2 + 2AB + B^2)

U^2 A = LA^2 + 2ABL + B^2L

LA^2 + 2ABL - U^2A + B^2 L = 0

LA^2 + (2BL - U^2)A + B^2L = 0

Using the quadratic formula

A =  [- (2BL - U^2) +/- √[(2BL - U^2)^2 - 4*L*B^2L] / 2L

A =  [- 2BL + U^2 +/- √[(2BL - U^2)^2 - 4B^2L^2) ] / 2L
