There are xboys playing in the park. The number of girls playing in the park is equal to the square root of the number of boys. If the total number of boys and girls playing in the park is 42, find the number of boys.
A. 49
B.6
C. 36
D. 7

x = 36 and √x = 6; total 42 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of boys:  x

Number of girls:  √x

Total number of kids:  x + √x = 42.

Find x.

Rewrite x + √x = 42 as √x = 42 - x.  Then square both sides:

x = 1764 - 84x + x^2, or

x^2 - 85x + 1764 = 0

Check out Answer C:  x = 36.  Is the above equation true for x = 36?  YES

Check out Answer A:  x = 49.  Is the above equation true for x = 49?  YES

Assume that x = 36.  This would be the number of boys.  The number of girls would be √36, or 6.  Does the sum of 36 and 6 equal 42?  YES.  So the number of boys is 36 and the number of girls is 6.

Assume that x = 49.  This would be the number of boys.  The number of girls would be √49, or 8.  Does the sum of 49 and 7 equal 42?  NO.  So we reject x = 49 as the number of boys and accept x = 36 as being correct.

step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount of gift bags to use all the supplies, find the gcf or greatest common factor. this is the largest number which multiplies evenly into each term.

48 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12. 16, 24, 48

80 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

64 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64

the highest number factor they all share in common is 8. this means there will be 8 bags with 6 pencils, 10 markers, and 8 stickers in each bag.

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
