Let the number of girls be x and the number of boys be y

The number of boys is the same as the number of girls.
x = y 
The number of boys is twice the number of girls when 8 girls left.
2(x - 8) = y


x = y ---------------- (1)
2(x - 8) = y -------- (2)

Sub (1) into (2)

2(y - 8) = y
2y - 16 = y
2y - y = 16
y = 16
There were 16 boys and 16 girls initially.

16 + 16 = 32 
There were a total of 32 students in the class initially.

Answer:

slope of line one: 2/4 or 1/2

line two: 6/1

line 3: 6/3 or 2

line 4: -4/1

to find the slope of a line, you have to use rise/run the number of space going along the y-axis is the rise, and the space of the points on the x-axis is the run.

hope this helps!

Answer:

5901

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error is the critical value times the standard error.

ME = CV × SE

For α = 0.05, the critical value is z = 1.96.

The standard error of a proportion is √(pq/n).  Given p = 0.04, then q = 1−p = 0.96.

The margin of error is 0.5% or 0.005.

Plugging in:

0.005 = 1.96 √(0.04 × 0.96 / n)

n ≈ 5901
