u= -5

12u -8u=-20

4u=-20

u=-20/4

u=-5

Simplify.

12u - 8u = 4u

4u = -20

isolate the u, divide 4 from both sides

4u/4 = -20/4

u = -20/4

u = -5

u = -5 is your answer

hope this helps

A city police force is made up of 24% females. If there are 72 females on the force, how many males are on the force?

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

228 males

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of males.

This means x + 72 is the total number of people.

So $\frac{72}{x+72}$ is the fraction of females in the force.

Thus, we can form the equation:

$\frac{72}{x+72} = 0.24$

$x+72 = \frac{72}{0.24}$

$x = \frac{72}{0.24} -72$

$x = 228$

Thus, the answer is 228 males.

What is y=-10x's constant of proportionality and how would describe a graph's constant rate of change.

Fantom [35]

Okay, so here, we know that -10 is the slope, therefore, it is also the constant of proportionality.

'x' is the unknown value, that tells us to multiply by -10.

So, on a graph, we would consider that per unit, it would decrease by -10, since its a negative slope.

Hope I helped, if you have further questions or concerns, feel free to PM me. Thanks! :D

A line has a slope of -3/4 and has a y intercept of 3. What is the x intercept of the line

natima [27]

Answer:

The x-intercept is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

The slope of a line as -3/4

y-intercept is 3

We are supposed to determine the x-intercept;

We need to know that;

The slope of a line is given by the ratio of the change in y to the change in x

The coordinates of y-intercept are (0, 3)

Taking the x-intercept as a, then the coordinates of x-intercept is (a, 0)

But;

slope = Δ in y ÷ Δ in x

Therefore;

$\frac{0-3}{a-0}= \frac{-3}{4}$

Solving for a

$-3a = -12 \\ a =4$

Therefore, the x-intercept is 4
