If 40% of the total population of a particular town of 2500 are HIV positive. How many people are HIV negative.

Mathematics
1 answer:
katovenus [111]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1500 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 40% are HIV positive (that's a lot of people), 60% will be HIV negative. All you have to do is find 60% of 2500.

60% of 2500 = 0.6 * 2500 = 6 * 250 = 1500

Hope this helps!

Half a number increased by 15 is equal to the sum of 5 and the product of 3 and the number.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

(x/2) + 15 = 5 + 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Follow the steps in the equation. X is your number. First you halve it, then you add 15. Next, set it equal to the other side. The second side is 5 + (because it is the sum) and 3x (the product of 3 and x means multiply them)

Solve for w.<br> 2w=12-4w<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
aev [14]
So we have an equation:
2w=12-4w
Firstly, let's simplify, and divide all terms by 2:
w=6-2w
Now, we add 2w over to the other side:
3w=6
And finally, we divide both sides by 3:
w=2

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two legs that have the same length. The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle. Now taking this into account, we know that:

2L + B = 14 units

Where:

L is the measure of one leg

B is the measure of the base

Since two legs are the same and the base is 1 less, this means the measure of each leg would be:

B = L -1

Now we have two equations:

2L + B = 14 units

B = L- 1

We plug one equation into the other and make 1 equation:

2L + (L-1) = 14 units

Get rid of the parentheses:

2L + L - 1 = 14

Combine like terms:

3L - 1 = 14

Add 1 to both sides of the equation:

3L - 1 + 1 = 14 + 1

3L = 15

Divide both sides by 3:

3L/3 = 15/3

L = 5

So the length of a leg is 5 units

Let's check!

B = L - 1

B = 5 - 1

B = 4

Then we use that to solve for the perimeter:

2L + B

2(5) + 4

10 + 4 = 14

Can anyone show me how to divide 931/7
Inessa [10]
(You go from left to right)
(Dividend is 931, divisor is 7)
Step 1: Look for a number smaller than 9 that is divisible by 7. 7 is the only one which is smaller than 9 and is divisible by 7. Now that you know 7*1=7, you put 1 above 931 (Dividend)
 Step 2: You subtract that number from the number in tens place. And bring the leftover down.
Step 3: You repeat Step 1 and 2 until either you get a remainder of 0 or the remainder in smaller than the divisor (in this case 7)
(Therefore 931/7=133, quotient=133, remainder=0)
^Hope this helps.
