Answer: I am going tot give you an example for this because I don’t like giving straight up answers ok?

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use this conversion factor:

4 inches = 1 year

Let's find the year at 5 feet (60 inches) using the conversion factor. Set up a proportion.

4 / 60 = 1 / x

Cross multiply.

4x = 60

x = 15

At 15 years, the height is 60 inches.

We can use these as points.

x = time in years

y = height in inches

Point 1 = (1, 4)

Point 2 = (15, 60)

By looking at the points, we know that as the x values increase, so does the y values. Now the relation between the x and y values of each point is that y is 4 times as that of x. Therefore, we can establish an equation.

y = 4x

This will be the model to use to find the height in 30 years.

The sum of three and seven times a number is -74. What is the number?
Dima020 [189]
<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ Form an equation with 'x' as the unknown number

7x + 3 = -74

Subtract 3 from both sides:

7x = -77

Divide both sides by 7:

x = -11

The number is -11

Temka [501]

Answer:

96 sq. cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

A "kite" has 2 diagonals, which are the "width" and "height" of the kite.

Using diagonals, the area of a kite is given by  A=\frac{pq}{2}

Where

A is the area

p,q are the width and height, respectively

From the problem given, p is 12 and q is 16, so the area is:

A=\frac{pq}{2}\\A=\frac{(12)(16)}{2}\\A=96

Thus, the area is 96 sq. cm

Sixty seven percent of the employees in a company have managerial positions, and 58 percent of the employees in the company have
Kazeer [188]

Answer: The proportion of employees who either have MBAs or are managers are 0.58.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of employees having managerial positions = 67%

Probability of employees having MBA degrees = 58%

Probability of managers having MBA degrees = 67%

So, using probability formulas, we get that

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\P(A\cup B)=0.67+0.58-0.67\\\\P(A\cup B)=0.58

Hence, the proportion of employees who either have MBAs or are managers are 0.58.
