For the orchestra concert, the orchestra director has asked that everyone wear either black pants or a black skirt. five times as many students wore black pants as black skirts. if there are sixty students in the choir, how many wore a black skirt?
a.10
b.30
c.50
d.60

A:10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Analyze: There are 60 people total and there is 5x more pants than skirts. This outrules 60 and 50.

2: Testing put all of your numbers into an equation. Since you need the total to be 60 you can do this. I am using p(pants) S(skirts for my example. S+S5=60 10 works in this equation.

If you look at it very deeply the the answer should be

Step-by-step explanation:

\0     (thats a fancy 10)

the answer is 375 miles

step-by-step explanation:

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
