Answer:

Number of en at the lecture = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the men at lecture be 2x

And women at lecture be 5x.

Remember ratio of men and women is 2 to 5.

Total number of people at the lecture = 63

i.e 2x + 5x = 63

or 7x = 63

or x = 63 /7

or x =9

Hence , Men at the lecture = 2x = 2*9 = 18

And women at the lecture = 5x = 5*9 = 45

Answer:(-2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

7q² - 28 = 0

Add 28 to bothside

7q² - 28 + 28 = 0+ 28

7q² = 28

Divide bothside by 7

7q² / 7 = 28/7

q² = 4

Take the square root of bothside

√q² = ±√4

q = ± 2

q = -2 or q =2

q = (-2, 2)

If ln(x^2-x-1)=0 , then x= ?

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

x = -1 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the antilog, you have the quadratic ...

x^2 -x -1 = 1

x^2 -x -2 = 0 . . . . subtract 1

(x -2)(x +1) = 0 . . . factor

The values of x that make these factors zero are the solutions to the equation.

x = 2 or x = -1
