PLEASE HELP ASAP!! There are 800 students who attend Park Middle School. There are 1.5 times as many boys as there are girls. Set up the system of equations needed to solve this problem.
x is boys
y is girls
800=1.5x=y

Answer (the system of equations input doesn't work, so there is no brace):

x = 1.5y

x + y =800

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify the vital information:

- 800 total students

- 1.5 times as many boys as girls

So, if x = number of boys and y = number of girls, we can agree that:

x = 1.5y

And because there are 800 kids in total, we can agree that:

x + y = 800

There are 320 girls and 480 boys. (see below)

Since you have the value of x, 1.5y, you can plug-in the value:

x + y = 800

1.5 + y = 800

2.5y = 800

y = 320 girls

Plug-in the y-value into the equation for the number of boys:

x = 1.5y

x = 1.5(320)

x = 480 boys

To double-check:

320 + 480 = 800 ☺

for me what is finding a good play list and going out because i can not lay down and relax so i usually go to a coffee shop. i also use the gum trick and this actually works. another advice is highlighting subjects it really does me remember certain things
