Let the no. Of boys=x and that of girls=y.
The total no. Of students = x+y .
As given by statement the no. Of boys=x={(x+y)/3} + 5
This implies that
X=(x+y+15)/3
Also we know that x/y = 2/3 therefore
From this equation we get x=2y/3 and y=3x/2
By method of substitution we get
X=(x+3x/2+15)/3
•x=(15x+90)/2
•2x=15x+90
•-13x=90
X= -90/13
Now. Y= 3x/2=-270/26
Therefore total
no. Of students= -270/26+(-90/13)
•no. Of students= -450/26
According to me this is an imaginary question i mean how can their be a negative person

Find the slope of the line on the graph write your answer as a fraction or a whole number not a mixed number or decimal.
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Change in y/change in x

starting at y intercept. up 1 unit (change in y) and over 1 unit (change in x) to get to next point on line.

slope is 1/1 which reduces to 1.

James works as a waiter. He served meals with bills of $23.59, $40.65, $30.50, and $15.68. If his total for tips was $17.67, wha
mr_godi [17]
<span><span>1.       </span>James works as a waiter.
He served food with the following price
=> 23.59 dollars
=> 40.65 dollars
=> 30.50 dollars
=> 15.68 dollars
Let’s add this altogether:
=> 23.59 + 40.65 + 30.50 + 15.68
=> 110.42 the total of the ordered food.
Now, James received a tip of 17.67 dollars. Find the interest rate of his tip.
=> 110.42 * .50 = 55.21, thus the interest rate of tip is less than 50%
=> You can do trial and error to get the correct rate,
=> 110.42 * .16 = 17.67, thus he received 16% tip</span>

A cylindrical cardboard tube with a diameter of 8 centimeters and a height of 20 centimeters is used to package a gift. What is
Usimov [2.4K]
The volume of a cylinder can be calculated by multiplying the area of its base times the height. It is calculated as follows:

V = πr²h
V = π(8/2)²(20)
V = 1005.31 cm³

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Which is a factor of the polynomial f(x) = 6x4 – 21x3 – 4x2 + 24x – 35?
QveST [7]
<span>I note that this problem starts out with "Which is a factor of ... "  This implies that you were given several answer choices.  If that's the case, it's unfortunate that you haven't shared them.

I thought I'd try finding roots of this function using synthetic division.  See below:

f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation.  Thanks.

Possible zeros of this poly are factors of 35:  plus or minus 1, plus or minus 5, plus or minus 7.  Use synthetic division; determine whether or not there is a non-zero remainder in each case.  If none of these work, form rational divisors from 35 and 6 and try them:  5/6, 7/6, 1/6, etc.

Provided that you have copied down the function 
</span>f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35  properly, this approach will eventually turn up 1 or 2 zeros of this poly.  Obviously it'd be much easier if you'd check out the possible answers given you with this problem.

By graphing this function, I found that the graph crosses the x-axis at 7/2.  There is another root.

Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:

         ___________________________
7/2   /   6    -21    -4    24    -35
                   21      0   -14     35           
        ----------- ------------------------------
           6        0     -4    10       0

Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial.  Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.
