Answer: 2,000

You can write the equation 2x + 3x = 5000

Then combine like terms 5x = 5000

Divide by 5 on both sides x = 1000

Find 2x 2x = 2000

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

Good question. Every answer above 0 is already too many. Let x be the base number to see how the 5000 is divided up.

Equation

2x + 3x = 5000

Solution

2x + 3x = 5000               Combine the left.

5x = 5000                       Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 5000/5                Combine

x = 1000

Answer

2x = the number of telemarketers which is 2*1000 = 2000

3x = the number of junk mails which is 3*1000  = 3000

Notice the answers are 2000/3000 = 2:3 which is what it should

Answer: 2000 where telemarketers.

Evaluate the expression: a(b – c) if a = -8, b = 12, and c = 4
Llana [10]

Answer:

-64

Step-by-step explanation:

a(b - c)

a = -8

b = 12

c = 4

So, you'd plug in those numbers:

-8(12 - 4)

You'd start within the parenthesis's, so:

(12 - 4), which equals (8)

-8(8)

= -64

The mean of 5 numbers is 30. The median is 33. What might the numbers be?
tatiyna

Let a,b,c,d and e are five numbers

mean = (a +b+ c+ d+e)/5 = 30

⇒ (a +b+ c+ d+e) = 150_______(1)

now, Let the number excluded be a

then, new mean =  (b+ c+ d+e)/4 = 28

⇒ (b+ c+ d+e)= 112

putting this value in (1),

⇒a + 112 = 150

⇒a = 150 -112 = 38

excluded number = 38
