Answer:

x ≥ 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

"2/3 of a number (x)" --->  (2/3)x

"Twenty-seven minus 2/3 of a number (x)" --->  27 - (2/3)x

"is not more than 36" can be rephrased as " is less than or equal to 36"

hence

27 - (2/3)x ≤ 36      (subtract 27 from both sides)

- (2/3)x ≤ 36 - 27

- (2/3)x ≤  9   (multiply both sides by -1, remember to flip the sign)

(2/3)x  ≥  -9  (multiply both sides by 3/2)

x ≥ -9 (3/2)

x ≥ 13.5

A survey was conducted to determine the popularity of three foods among students. The data collected from 75 students are summar
Andrews [41]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no = 75

N (P) = 48 , N (H) = 45 , N (T) = 58

N (P∩H) = 28 , N (H∩T) = 37 , N (P∩T) = 40

N (P∩H∩T) = 25

Total no = N (P) + N (H) + N (T) - N (P∩H)  -  N (H∩T) - N (P∩T) + N (P∩H∩T) + neither

75 = 48 + 45 + 58 - 28 - 37 - 40 + 25 + neither

75 = 71 + neither → neither = 4

N (only P) = N (P) - N (P∩H)  - N (P∩T)  + N (P∩H∩T) = 48 - 28 - 40 + 25 = 5

N (only H) = N (H) - N (P∩H) - N (H∩T) +  N (P∩H∩T) = 45 - 28 - 37 + 25 = 5

N (only T) = N (T) - N (H∩T) - N (P∩T) + N (P∩H∩T) = 58 - 37 - 40 + 25 = 6

So, total liking either one or neither = 4 + 5 + 5 + 6 = 20

Margarita [4]

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets name the missing point as "x"

8^2 + x^2 = 17^2

=> 64 + x^2 = 289

=> x^2 = 289 - 64

=> x^2 = 225

=> x = 15
