P r o p o r t i o n s

3:4 = 7

3/198 = 7/x

solve for x using cross multiplying

3/198 = 7/x

198(7) = 3x
1386 = 3x
/3         /3
   462 = x

Therefore, there are 462 workers.

Proof:

3/198 = 4/x
198(4) = 3x
792 = 3x
/3        /3
264 = x

264 + 198 = 462.

264 / 4 = 66
198 / 3 = 66
462 / 7 = 66

Alina [70]

Answer:

A = 5.5t + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the relationship between t and A is linear.

We have two points on a line: (2, 20) and (4, 31).

We now find the equation of the line.

A = mt + b

m = (31 - 20)/(4 - 2) = 11/2 = 5.5

20 = 5.5(2) + b

20 = 11 + b

b = 9

A = 5.5t + 9

Directed line segment DE has endpoints D(-4,-2) and E(1,8). Point F divides DE such that DF:FE is 3:2What are the coordinates of
VMariaS [17]

The Solution.

The given points are

D(-4,-2)\text{ and E(1,8)}

The formula is

\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}_{},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}

In this case,

m=3,n=2

Therefore,

\begin{gathered} (\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}_{},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}) \\ =(\frac{3(1)+_{}2(-4)_{}}{3+2}_{},\frac{3(8)_{}+2(-2)_{}}{3+2}) \\  \end{gathered}=(\frac{3-8}{5},\frac{24-4}{5})=(-\frac{5}{5},\frac{20}{5})=(-1,4)

Hence, the correct answer is (-1, 4) (option 3)

What is the answer you this question
8_murik_8 [283]
Hello!

First, you will need to subtract -2 from 4 (4-(-2)). You'll need to do this because to find the slope, you'll need to subtract y² w/ y1 or 4-(-2) and divide it by x² - x1 or -1-(-3). So once you set up the equation it'll look like this...

4-(-2)/-1-(-3)

Now after you've subtracted the numbers, your equation will look like this...

6/2

You'll then divide 6 by 2 and your slope will be 3

I hope this helps!

nadezda [96]

Answer:

c = -400

Step-by-step explanation:

-2/5c -8 = 32

-2/5c  = 40    add 8 to both sides

c = -400 multiply both sides by the opposite reciprocal, -5/2
