Answer:

5:9

Step-by-step explanation:

One Simple Method:

We can plug in values that are reasonable, such as 5 and 9. 5 represents the amount of boys and 9 represents the amount of girls. There's four more girls than boys, adding up both terms there's a sum of 14 grandchildren.

Another Method:

using and creating an equation.

x represents boys

y represents girls

<u>Our equation for boys:</u>

x(x+4)=14

2x+4=14

<u>Subtract 4 from both sides</u>

2x=10

x=5

x=5 represents 5 boys.

Use x=5 in our equation for girls.

5+y=14

<u>Subtract 5 from both sides</u>

y=9

y=9 represents 9 girls.

Answer:

5 boys to 9 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of boys

Boys = x

Girls = x + 4

x + (x + 4) = 14

2x + 4 = 14

2x = 10

x = 5

This means that there are 5 boys. Since girls = x + 4, 5 + 4 = 9. There are 5 boys and 9 girls.

I hope this helped and please mark me as brainliest!

Answer:

  • JK slope: -1/3
  • KL slope: 3
  • JL slope: -7
  • is
  • two of the slopes have a product of -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is useful.

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

__

JK slope = (1 -2)/(3 -1) = -1/3

KL slope = (-5-1)/(1-3) = -6/-2 = 3

JL slope = (-5-2)/(1-0) = -7

We observe that slopes (-1/3) and (3) have a product of -1, so those line segments are perpendicular. The triangle is a right triangle.

Which equation describes a line that passes through (-5,-8) and is perpendicular to y= 5/4x + 10
lara31 [8.8K]
Answer: y = -4/5x - 12

1. First find slope. Since you are trying to find a line perpendicular to y = 5/4x + 10, the slope would be the negative reciprocal of 5/4x.

slope = - 4/5x

2. plug in (-5,-8) and the slope of -4/5 to the point slope form equation
(y-y2) = slope (x-x2)

= y+8=-4/5(x+5)

3. solve and simply y+8=-4/5(x+5)

y = -4/5x - 12 is your answer
