It says that b represents Becky’s score and c represents Cathy’s score.
Becky’s score was 5 less than Cathy’s score, its equation can be written as :-
b = c - 5
It says that their combined score totaled 185, its equation can be written as :-
b + c = 185
So, correct pair of equations is b = c - 5 and b + c = 185.
If Becky’s score was 5 less than Cathy’s, then we would write:
b = c - 5
If Becky’s and Cathy’s scores add up to 185, then we would write:
b + c = 185
These are the two equations:
b = c - 5
b + c = 185
Answer: Total number of students will be 112.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
The ratio of boys to girls in the top 10% of their class at Bixby High School was
So, Let the number of boys be 3x
Let the number of girls be 5x
According to question,
So, total number of students will be
Hence, Total number of students will be 112.
B. Find the area of the triangle if 8 and 12 are a leg and hypotenuse.
Answer:
(1/2)(10)(x + 15 + x) = (2/5)(10)(20 + x)
(1/2)(2x + 15) = (2/5)(x + 20)
5(2x + 15) = 4(x + 20)
10x + 75 = 4x + 80
6x = 5
x = 5/6
NB = 5/6
