Answer:

191 people do not have a briefcase

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two ratios or fraction are equal  

As per the given condition:

On the subway 8 out of 11 people are carrying a briefcase.

⇒Total number of people = 11

and number of people carrying a briefcase = 8

Remaining number of people that do not carrying a briefcase = 11-8 = 3

Now,

Based on this information, if there are 700 people on the subway

Let x be the number of people do not have a briefcase

By definition of proportion :

\frac{3}{11} = \frac{x}{700}

Multiply 700 both sides, we have

\frac{3}{11} \times 700 = x

Simplify:

x = 190.90≈ 191

Therefore, 191 people do not have a briefcase

Cost of each apple bushels = $40

Cost of each corn bushels = $30

Total budget = $6,550

Find:

Inequality

Computation:

Assume;

Total number of apple bushels = x

Total number of corn bushels = y

A bakery used 38 pounds of flour to make French bread and
fomenos

Answer:

since we are not given the options, I will write down a few equations that represent the number of French bread loaves and bagels:

  • a = number of loaves of French bread
  • b = number of bagels
  • available amount of flour = 38

2a + b ≤ 38

2a ≤ 38 - b

a ≤ (38 - b) / 2

a ≤ 19 - 0.5b

b ≤ 38 - 2a

b ≤ 2(19 - a)

Hopefully one of these equations is one of the choices given to you.

Factor completely 56a2b3 − 35ab.
VMariaS [17]

I would start off by taking away 1a. That would make the problem be 56ab3-35b.I only took away 1 because each have at least 1a and is okay to do.


Next I would deal with the variable b. I would cross of 1 b. That's because both sides have at least 1b.  Now, it's shortened to be 56ab2-35.


Since you cannot take away anymore variables, you have to deal with 56 and 35. I start small with dividing each by 2. I am trying to see what the greatest number could be while making the numbers still be whole. That turns 56 into 28 when it's cut in half. The 35 now turns into 17.5.


I would assume your teacher would want the numbers to be whole. seeing as though when 35 is cut in half and makes a decimal number, I would leave them. What I mean by that is to leave the numbers as 56 and 35.


So, that means the answer is 56ab2-35.


I hope this helps!! (And makes sense)

Problem 3
stich3 [128]
In the step after -6x+10=4x+20, he moved the terms incorrectly. you have to add 6x to both sides so it would be 10=4x+6x+20 which simplifies to 10=10x+20. subtract 20 from both sides to get -10=10x. divide both sides by 10. the answer is x=-1
