This is the concept of algebra, to solve the question we proceed as follows;
the current number of women is:
1/4*20=5 women
the percentage of women is:
1/4*100=25%
therefore for the team to have 40% women, the number of women should be:
40/25*5
=8 women
The answer is 8 women

Answer:

  36, 32, 28, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Fill in the values of n and do the arithmetic.

  a1 = 36 -4(1 -1) = 36

  a2 = 36 -4(2 -1) = 32

  a3 = 36 -4(3 -1) = 28

  a4 = 36 -4(4 -1) = 24

_____

You could recognize the formula as the specific case of the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence with first term 36 and common difference -4. That tells you the second term is 36 -4 = 32, and each successive term is 4 less than the one before.

enyata [817]
Given that <span>For a certain model of car the distance d required to stop the vehicle if it is traveling at v mi/h is given by the formula d=v+\frac{v^2}{20}, where [tex]d is measured in feet.

If Kerry wants her stopping distance not to exceed 75 ft, then the range of speeds (in mi/h) can she travel is obtained as follows:

v+ \frac{v^2}{20} \leq75 \\  \\ 20v+v^2\leq1,500 \\  \\ v^2+20v+100\leq1,500+100 \\  \\ (v+10)^2\leq1,600 \\  \\ |v+10|\leq\sqrt{1,600} \\  \\ -40\leq v+10\leq40 \\  \\ -40-10\leqv\leq v\leq40-10 \\  \\ -50\leq v\leq30

Therefore, the range of speed she can travel is v\leq30\ mi/hr

Please help me solve this practice SAT question!
lord [1]

Answer:

t=5

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ (t,17) lies on (x,y) plane y=x²-3x+7,t>0

∴ 17=t²-3t+7

t²-3t+7-17=0

t²-3t-10=0

t²-5t+2t-10=0

t(t-5)+2(t-5)=0

(t-5)(t+2)=0

t=5,-2

t>0

so t=5
