To find the answer look for opinions where 1 person can't have multiple.

Add them all up and you'll get your answer, there are 33 total colleagues in the group.

We're assuming e.g. the two that won't go to P (park) or C (cottage) includes the one that won't go anywhere.

Let's call the three rings of the Venn diagram P,B,C.
 
We'll label the eight regions like PB\bar{C}, here meaning in P, in B, not in C.


1 would not go to a park or a beach or a​ cottage

\bar{P}\bar{B}\bar{C} = 1

8 would go to neither a park nor a​ beach.  We have to take away the one guy who won't go anywhere to find out how many go just to college.

8 = \bar{P}\bar{B}\bar{C} + \bar{P}\bar{B}C 

\bar{P}\bar{B}C=8-1=7 

3 would go to neither a beach nor a​ cottage,

P\bar{B}\bar{C}=3-1=2 

<span>2 would go to neither a park nor a​ cottage, 
</span>
\bar{P}B\bar{C} = 2-1=1 

<span>17 would not go to a​ park

</span>17 = \bar{P}\bar{B}\bar{C} + \bar{P}\bar{B}{C} + \bar{P}{B}\bar{C} + \bar{P}{B}{C}= 1 + 7 + 1 + \bar{P}{B}{C}

\bar{P}{B}{C}=8

<span>24 would not go to a​ beach

</span>{P}\bar{B}{C}=24 - 1 - 7 - 2 = 14

13 would not go to a​ cottage
 
{P}B\bar{C}=13 - 1 -2 - 1= 9

8 were willing to go all three places.

{P}BC= 8

Adding them all up,

8 + 9+ 14+ 8 + 1 + 2 + 7 + 1 = 50

Three fourths of a number p less than two is five sixths of another number r plus five solve for r
maw [93]
r = -3/4p - 18/5 
(or you could put 3.6 or 3 3/5 instead of 18/5)

2 - 3/4p = 5/6r + 5 
-5                     -5
-3 - 3/4p = 5/6r
 /(5/6)       /(5/6) 
-18/5 - 3/4p = r 
-3/4p - 18/5 = r

A book club has 200 members
nikklg [1K]
So these are decmials of the accutal total so

.32=32%
what makes this question easy is that there are 200 members so to convert the percents into accutall numbers so like .32=32%=64 people (since 200 is 2 times of 100)

A. fiction of 31-40 compared to 21-30
fiction 31-40=.38=38%=76 readers
fiction 21-30=.32=32%=64 readers
76-64=12
A is FALSE

B. so we want to know how many people are 31-40 and prefer fiction
so .38=38% and 38% of 200=76
B is FALSE

C 43 members are 21-30
so we look at the total row for the 21-30 people and see that .43 or 43% or 86 people are in the 21-30 age group
C is FALSE

D. 140 members prefer fiction
look at the total column for fiction and see that .70 like fiction .70=70%=140 people
D is TRUE

so A,B,C are FALSE
D is TRUE

Line CD passes through points C (1,3) and D (4,-3). If the equation of the line is written in slope intercept form, y=my+b, what
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

b=5

Step-by-step explanation:

C(1,3) and point D(4,-3)

Since we want the equation in slope intercept form we must first calculate the slope (m):

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\\\m=\frac{-3-3}{4-1}\\ \\m=\frac{-6}{3} \\\\m=-2

By point slope formula and using point C (1,3) we have:y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\\\\y=m(x-x_{1})+y_{1}\\\\y=-2(x-1)+3\\\\y=-2x+2+3\\\\y=-2x+5


So the slope is -2 and the y -intercept (b) is 5.
