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.

Rearrange the steps to solve for the following equation: 2(x-5)=8
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-5)=8          | Given

(2x-10)=8        | Distribute the 2 inside the parentheses

2x=8+10           | Add 10 to both sides

2x=18                 | Add. <em>Optional; not included in your question.</em>

<em />x=9<em>                    </em>| Divide by 2 on both sides.

An arithmetic sequence begins as follows: a1=13 a2=19 Which of the following gives the definition of its nth term?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

the nth term of the sequence is a_n=6n+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An arithmetic sequence begins as follows: a_1=13, a_2=19

To find : Which of the following gives the definition of its nth term?

Solution :

The nth term of the A.P is a_n=a+(n-1)d

The first term is a=a_1=13

The common difference is d=a_2-a_1

d=19-13=6

Substitute in the formula,

a_n=13+(n-1)6

a_n=13+6n-6

a_n=6n+7

Therefore, the nth term of the sequence is a_n=6n+7
