If AM = x + 8 and MB= 6x – 2, find MB.

Mathematics
1 answer:
IrinaK [193]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, AM=x+8

or, A=x+8-M......eqn (i)

MB=6x-2

or, B=6x-2-M......eqn (ii)

Now,

from eqn (i) and (ii)

x+8-M=6x-2-M

or, 8+2=6x-x-M+M

or, 10=5x

or, 10÷5=x

therefore, x=2

Again,

MB=6x-2

=6×2-2

=12-2

=10

is it correct

9x-2y=11 <br> 5x-2y=15 <br> what is the solution to the above system of equations<br> ASAP
natali 33 [55]

9x - 2y = 11 ... (i)

5x - 2y = 15 ... (ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from (i) we get;

4x + 0 = -4

4x=-4 , x = -1

Replacing x = -1 in equation (i) we get;

9(-1) - 2y = 11

-9 - 2y = 11

-2y = 20

y = 20 ÷ -2 = -10

The solution to the system of equations is (-1,-10).

In a school 40% are boys and 900 are girls. find the total number of students of the school and the number of boys
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

1500 students

600 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

40% are boys, so 60% are girls.

Writing a proportion:

900 / 60% = x / 100%

x = 1500

There are 1500 students in the school, which means there are 600 boys in the school.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

150/250

Step-by-step explanation:

24/42, 75/135, 150/250, and 75/150 I believe is what you're asking. We know 75/135 is better than 75/150 so 75/150 is out of the equation. If we multiple 75/135 by 2 we get 150/270 which is more than 150/250, so 75/135 is out of the equation. Now to compare 24/42 and 150/250 we can divide their fractions, if we divide 24/42 we get 0.57, so 57%. If we did 150/250 we get 0.6 or 60%. So 150/250 is the best score.
