Answer:

X = 10 and X = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-3)^2-38=11

(x-3)^2 = 11 +38

(x-3) ^2 = 49

Taking square root on both sides

√(x-3) ^2 = √ 49

X-3 = +7, -7

X = 7 +3, X= -7+3

X = 10 X = -4

So, it has got two solutions

For all positive integers x ,what is the greatest common factor of the numbers 256x and 144x

gogolik [260]

First, let's factor both of these numbers.

256x:

$2^{8} * x$

144x:

$3^{2} * 2^{4} * x$

Both of these numbers contain $2^{4} * x$ , so that would be the greatest common factor. This could also be written as 16x.

An international company has 22,700 employees in one country. If this represents 23.1 of the company's employees,how many employ

GrogVix [38]

Answer: 98268

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In an international company,

Employees in one country = 22,700

If this is 23.1% of the total number of company's employees,

[ $1\%=\dfrac1{100}$ , replace 'of' by '×']

i.e. 23.1% of (total employees) = 22700

$\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{23.1}{100}\times\text{(total employees)}=22700\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Total employees}=\dfrac{22700\times100}{23.1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Total employees}=98268.4\approx98268$

Hence, there are 98268 employees in total.
