There are some people on a train

Mathematics

<h3>Answer:  62</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

18 people get off, and 21 get on

We can write the 18 as -18 to indicate a loss of 18 people. The 21 as +21 to mean we gained 21 people.

The net change is -18+21 = +3 or simply 3.

After the first stop, 3 more people are on the train compared to before reaching this stop.

If x is the number of people before the stop, then x+3 is the number of people after the stop. Set this equal to 65 and solve for x.

x+3 = 65

x = 65-3

x = 62 people were on the train to begin with.

-----------

Check:

62 people to start off

62-18 = 44 people after the 18 people get off

44+21 = 65 people after the 21 new people get on

The answer is confirmed.

How to factor ax2 bx c?
Burka [1]

In the same way as you could factor trinomials on the form of

<span><span><span>x2</span>+bx+c</span><span><span>x2</span>+bx+c</span></span>

You can factor polynomials on the form of

<span><span>a<span>x2</span>+bx+c</span><span>a<span>x2</span>+bx+c</span></span>

If a is positive then you just proceed in the same way as you did previously except now

<span><span>a<span>x2</span>+bx+c=<span>(<span>x+m</span>)</span><span>(<span>ax+n</span>)</span></span><span>a<span>x2</span>+bx+c=<span>(<span>x+m</span>)</span><span>(<span>ax+n</span>)</span></span></span>

<span><span>where  c=mn,ac=pq         </span><span>and b=p+q=am+<span>n</span></span></span>

Please help solve this
notsponge [240]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

so what you want to do first to create a common denominator:

1. multiply 2/3 by 2 to get a denominator of 6

2. Now you have 4/6, to solve for x you subtract 4/6 from the total

\frac{5}{6} - \frac{4}{6} = \frac{1}{6}

thats how you get your answer!

Hope this helped :)

A salesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where she has two options for being paid.option A is an hourly wage of 23. Option
Advocard [28]
Let's start with option A --> $23 per hour x 40 hours = 23 x 40 = 920 = $920

That means we have to find how many $ x 5% = $920 

We'll call our unknown amount: "B", so B x 0.05 = $920

To find B you have to get ride of everything on its side:
(B x 0.05) / 0.05 = 920 / 0.05 ----> we have to do the same operations on each side.
Now we have B = 920 / 0.05 ----> B = $18,400
The salesperson must sell $18,400 in order to earn the same amount as the first option.
