People in building ---- x (men, women and children)
children --- y
men + women + children = x
(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x
3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x
times 14
6x + 5x + 14y = 14x
14y = 3x
y + 220 =x
sub into the other one
14y = 3(y+220)
11y = 660
y = 60
then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280
So we have 280 people in the building.
check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120
leaving 160 women and children
5/8 of these ot 100 are women
so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!
hope this is right! have a great. day
Answer:
2< AC<8
Step-by-step explanation:
For a triangle to exits sum of two sides must always be greater than the the third side
⇒ AC< AB+ BC =5+3=8 in
⇒AC<8 in
Also, the difference of the two sides must be smaller than the length of third side
⇒ AC> | AB-BC| = |5-3| =2
AC> 2 in
therefore, we can say 2< AC<8. Hence, AC can takes 3,4,5,6 values
The absolute value 
returns the "positive version" of a number.
In other words, if the number is positive, it remains positive; if the number is negative, it changes sign.
So, if we want 
, we want the "positive version" of x to be 9.
This can happen in two ways: if x is already 9, then its absolute value is still nine. If instead x=-9, its positive value will be 9 again.
In formula, we have
because

X= -3
2/3x-10=12
Step 1: Add 10 to both sides.
2/3x=-2
Step 2: Multiply both sides by 3/2.
x= -3
