Answer:
15 boys and 25 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of boys (b) and girls (g) is given as 40:
g + b = 40
The number of girls is 2 times the number of boys minus 5:
2b - 5 = g
First formula can be rewritten as g = 40 - b
Then you can substitute this for g in the second, and you get:
2b-5 = 40-b
Which simplifies to:
2b + b = 40 + 5
3b = 45
b = 15
g = 40-15 = 25
15 boys, 25 girls.
Answer:
x= 5/2 or 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
absolute value always gives us positive
if |u| = 2, u can be -2 or 2
2x-3 = 2
2x = 5
x = 5/2
2x-3 = -2
2x = 1
x= 1/2
in general, set the stuff inside the absolute value to equal both positive and negative of the equivalent value
