$p-1=5p+3p-8\\ \\p-8p=-8+1\\ \\-7p=-7\ \ /:(-7)\\ \\p=1$

P-1=8p-8
Add 1 to both sides
p=8p-7
Subtract 8p from both sides
-7p=-7
Divide by -7
p=1

You are doing marketing research to find out the purchasing potential of students in the community. Based on the latest census,

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Number of students = 9860
Total Population = 62,400

Percentage of students in the population can be calculated by:

(Number of students/Total population) x 100%

Using the values, we get:

Percentage of students = (9860/62400) x 100% = 15.80%

Thus, students constitute 15.80% of the entire population

You are designing a rectangular garden. the garden will be enclosed by fencing on three sides and by a house on the fourth side.

RUDIKE [14]

Suppose the dimensions of the rectangle is x by y and let the side enclosed by a house be one of the sides measuring x, then the sides that is to be enclosed are two sides measuring y and one side measuring x.

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y

The area of the rectangle is given by xy,

i.e.

$xy = 288 \\ \\ \\ \\ \Rightarrow y= \frac{288}{x}$

Substituting for y into the equation for the length of fencing needed, we have

$P=x+2\left( \frac{288}{x} \right)=x+ \frac{576}{x}$

For the amount of fencing to be minimum, then

$\frac{dP}{dx} =0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow1- \frac{576}{x^2} =0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{576}{x^2} =1 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2=576 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=\sqrt{576}=24$

Now, recall that

$y= \frac{288}{x} = \frac{288}{24} =12$

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y = 24 + 2(12) = 24 + 24 = 48.

Therefore, 48 feets of fencing is needed to enclose the garden.

How many words of five letters can be created that start with the letter T, contain 2 other consonats and end with 2 vowels? Not

Jet001 [13]

If we're only counting 5 vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and 20 consonants (everything else, minus T), then there are

$\dbinom52=\dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}=10$

ways of picking the vowels, and

$\dbinom{20}2=\dfrac{20!}{2!(20-2)!}=190$

ways of picking the consonants.

We want the word to start with T, and we'll allow any arrangement of the other 4 letters, so that the total number of words is

$4!\dbinom52\dbinom{20}2=\boxed{45,600}$

Keep in mind that this means words like TRIES and TIRES are treated as different.

DO U KNOW SLOPE??? PLZ HELP

IgorLugansk [536]

To calculate slope; rise/run

Triangle ABC: run-1 rise-5 slope-5

5 rise/ 1 run (5/1)=5

Triangle DEF: run-2 rise 10 slope-5

10 rise/ 2 run (10/2)=5

B. They are equal because the two triangles are similar

What's the perimeter and area?

ololo11 [35]

Area = 267
perimeter = 72

area- solve for the area of the 18 by 10 section, then the area of the 7 by 21 section. once you have those, determined the size of the shared area between those two and subtract from one of them.

perimeter- just add
