Answer: 35 additional teachers are needed
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
We have 2470 students and the ratio of students to teachers is 26:1. This means that for every teacher, there are 26 students. Put another way, we can set up this ratio
2470/x = 26/1
where x is the number of teachers. Cross multiply and solve for x
2470/x = 26/1
2470*1 = 26*x
2470 = 26x
26x = 2470
26x/26 = 2470/26
x = 95
So we have 95 teachers currently
-------------
Let y be the new number of teachers needed to bring the ratio down to 19:1
Using a similar idea as done above, we would have this ratio
2470/y = 19/1
Let's solve for y
2470/y = 19/1
2470*1 = 19*y
2470 = 19y
19y = 2470
19y/19 = 2470/19
y = 130
So we'll need 130 teachers to have the ratio be 19:1
The difference of the values is y - x = 130 - 95 = 35, which is the final answer. This is the additional amount of teachers needed.
Answer: x+2 / x+ 9, x = -2, x=-9 ( A )
Solution:
Breakdown the problem into two sets
Step 1: simplify x^2 -10x - 24
Factorize the above equation,
Multiply the last term (24) with the first term coefficient i.e. 1
Step 2: Then, find the factors of 24 in a way that when you add or subtract it sums up to 10
x2 - 12x + 2x - 24 >>>> (x2-12x) + (2x-24) >>> take common
>>>> x(x-12) + 2( x-12)
Step 3: (x + 2) (x - 12)
Step 4: Step 1: simplify x^2 - 3x - 108 using the same steps
x2 - 12x + 9x - 108 >>>> take common x(x-12) + 9 ( x -12) >>>
(x + 9) (x - 12) final product
Now, Simplify the equation as a whole
(x + 2) (x - 12) / (x + 9) (x - 12) Note: (x - 12) cancels out
= (x + 2) / (x + 9) with x= -2 and x= -9
30+8*3=114 2y-6=56.... I think your answer would be 170 but I'm not completely sure
Answer:
False; they are equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is x + 20 > 4x - 1.
First, do the opposite of -1 and add one to the other side while -1+1 cancels out. Now it's x+21 > 4x. Now subtract x from both sides. Positive x minus negative x cancels out and 4x minus x or 1x is 3x. Now you're left with 21> 3x. Now do the inverse operation of multiplication and divide both sides by 3. Now the 3x over 3 cancels out and 21 divided by 3 is 7. So x is 7. If you substitute it in. It will be 7+20 which is 27 which is great than 4(7)-1 which is 28-1. 28-1 is 27. So, the equation is false. They are equal.
Answer:
r=2
Step-by-step explanation:
r + 8 r + 11 = 29
( 1 + 8 ) r + 11 = 29 9 r + 11 = 29
Now we can isolate and solve for r while always keeping the equation balanced: First, subtract 11 from each side of the equation:
9 r + 11 − 11 = 29 − 11
9 r + 0 = 18
9 r = 18
Now we can divide each side of the equation by 9 to get
r : 9 over 9 = 18 under 9
1 r = 2
r = 2
