Aspecial olympic event has 16 more boys than girls competing. the total number of participants is 1000. how many boys completed and how many girls completed

x= the number of girls competing

x+16=the number of boys competing

The equation to find the number of boys and girls competing would be:

x+(x+16)=1000

First, combine like terms:

2x+16=1000

Subtract 16 from both sides.

2x=984

Divide both sides by 2:

x=492

We know now that the number of girls competing is 492. To find the number of boys competing, you simply have to add 16 to 492.

492+16=508

There are 508 boys competing and 492 girls competing.

I hope this helps :)

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
