Create equations using the given information
1) x+y=56
2) y=x-16
Substitute the value of y into the 1st equation and simplify
1)x+x-16=56
2x=72
x=36
Substitute the value of x into the 1st equation and simplify
1)x+y=56
36+y=56
y=20
Answer: 20 and 36
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
An international company has 25,600 employees in one country. If this represents 19.3% of the company's employees, then the total number of employees that the international company has would be 100%.
To determine the actual value for 100%,
Let x represent the total number if employees that the international company has. Therefore
19.3/100 = 25,600/x
Cross multiplying,
19.3x = 25600 × 100 = 2560000
x = 2560000/19.3 = 132642.49
The total number of employees is approximately 132643
Three consecutive odd integers are n, n+2 and n+4
n + n+2 + n+4 = -87
3n + 6 = -87
3n = -87 - 6
3n = -93
n = -93/3
n = -31
n+2 = -31 + 2 = -29
n+4 = -31 + 4 = -27
The numbers are -31, -29 and -27
