16 students is the correct answer...
for every 5 boys there are 3 girls, so 20 boys 6 girls = the total of 16 students
Simplify both sides of the equation
(20)(4)= 4(5x+1)
Simplify
80 = 20x+4
Flip the equation
20x+4 = 80
Subtract 4 from both sides
20x+4-4 = 80-4
20x = 76
Divide both sides by 20
20x/20 = 76/20
x= 3.8
There is one solution in this equation
<span>Write the equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions, Express the final equation in standard form. Contains the point (2,5) and is parallel to the line x-2y=-5
The given equation can be written 2y=x+5; y = (1/2)x+(5/2)
It's slope is 1/2
So any line parallel to it has slope = 1/2
If the line also passes thru (2,5), 5 = (1/2)2+b; b=4
Therefore the equation you want is y = (1/2)x+4</span>

What you need help with? I don't see a question or anything
Step-by-step explanation:
Peter's account is 910-40x, and Marla's account is 470-2x. This is a system, so you must find the number that makes both equations end up with the same number. Basically trial and error. Here is what I did:
Let's try the number 10. 910-400=510 and 470-20=450. I need a higher number.
Let's try 13 next. 910-520=390 and 470-26=444. Now the number has to be lower.
Let's try 12. 910-480=430 and 470-24=446. Close, and a little lower.
11.5 is too low, and 11.7 is too high. 11.6 has Equation 1 at 446 and Equation 2 at 446.8. Very close!
It is somewhere around 11.6. I hope that this can give you a start in figuring it out, because I don't believe in giving the complete answer, because then you do not learn anything from it.
