To solve this question, let's start by writing down what we know. First of all, let's make a variable, x, which will stand for the number of women at the party (because that's what we want to find). Using this variable, we know:

2/3x have jewelry

1/4x have a black dress

Half the people wearing a black dress also have jewelry, so we know that there is an overlap of 1/4x ÷ 2 = 1/8x between the jewelry and black dress.

To account for this overlap, we can subtract it from both sides. We get

2/3x - 1/8x = 13/24x

1/4x - 1/8x = 1/8x

We know that there are 50 more women with a black dress, so:

13/24x = 1/8x + 50

Simplifying, we get:

13/24x = 3/24x + 50

10/24x = 50

x = 50*24/10 = 120

That means that there were 120 women at the party.

If the result is reflected over x-axis and vertically stretched by a factor of 5, the result will be g(x) = -5(x - 1)²

<h3>Transformation of functions</h3>

Transformation is a way of changing the position of an object o the xy plane. Given the parent function expressed as

f(x) = x^2

If the function is shifted to the left by unit, then we will have h(x) = (x - 1)²

If the result is reflected over x-axis and vertically stretched by a factor of 5, the result will be g(x) = -5(x - 1)²

Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot. sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenusesin(46°) = y/80y = 80sin(46°)plug this in you calculator to get y = 58 feet

Rebecca drove 44 1/3 miles in 1 1/3 hours. What is the unit rate for miles per hour?
saul85 [17]
unit\ rate=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\&#10;distance=44\frac{1}{3} miles\\&#10;time=1\frac{1}{3}hour\\\\&#10;unit\ rate=\frac{44\frac{1}{3}}{1\frac{1}{3}}=\ \ \ | make\ improper\ fractions\\&#10;\frac{\frac{133}{3}}{\frac{4}{3}}=\frac{133}{3}*\frac{3}{4}=\frac{133}{4}=33\frac{1}{4}\\\\&#10;unit\ rate= 33\frac{1}{4}\frac{miles}{hour}&#10;
