Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The recycling and reuse industry employs approximately 1,025,000 more workers than the waste management industry. This means that

Number of workers employed by The recycling and reuse industry = the number of workers employed by the waste management industry + 1,025,000

Let y = the number of workers employed by the waste management industry. Therefore

x = y + 1,025,000 - - - - - - 1

Since total = 1,275,000

x + y = 1,275,000 - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes

y + 1,025,000 + y = 1,275,000

2y = 1,275,000 - 1,025,000

y = 250000/2 = 125000

x = y + 1,025,000 = 125000 + 1,025,000 = 1150000

The recycling and reuse industry employs 1150000 workers

The waste management industry employs 125000 workers

If you would like to know what is true about the solution of the set of equations, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2x + 2y = 18
x + y = 9    /*2
______________

<span>2x + 2y = 18
</span>2x + 2y = 18
______________
2x + 2y = <span>2x + 2y
</span>18 = 18
0 = 0

The correct result would be infinitely many solutions.

( PLASE HELP ME) Solve the following equation.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-4) =-10

Distribute 5 by multiplying x and -4 by 5

5x - 20 = -10

Add 20 to both sides

5x - 20 + 20 = -10 + 20

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5

5x ÷ 5 = 10 ÷ 5

x = 2
