Answer:

There are 176 women in the company.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of men are 5x and number of women are 8x.

Total number of employees in the company are 286.

But according to given condition, total no of employees are :

5x+8x = 286\\\\13x=286\\\\x=\dfrac{286}{13}\\\\x=22

Total no of women are 8x. It means 22\times 8=176. Hence, there are 176 women in the company.

Find x please<br><br><br> 10.3<br><br><br> 9.6<br><br><br> 84<br><br><br> 9
valentinak56 [21]

The 2 small black lines through the sides of the triangle indicate that the 2 sides are the same length.

Because the 2 sides are the same the 2 bottom angles are also the same.


This means that 9x +3 = 84

Now we can solve for x:

9x +3 = 84

Subtract 3 from each side:

9x = 91

Divide both sides by 9:

x = 81 / 9

x = 9

Mrs. R is pregnant and very worried that the child will have beta-thalassemia. What is the probability that the child will have
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

There are three kind of beta-thalassemia.

Total possible outcome=  3 types of beta- thalassemia + 1 [child will have no trace of disease] = 4

As we know Probability(outcome) = \frac{\text{ Total favorable outcome}}\text{Total possible outcome}

Probability that the child will have beta-thalassemia major =\frac{_{1}^{3}\textrm{C}}{_{1}^{4}\textrm{C}}

     =\frac{3}{4}

   ∴ favorable=_{1}^{3}\textrm{C}

 And , Total =_{1}^{4}\textrm{C}

Probability that the child will have no trace of the disease=\frac{1}{4}

6 + 2(x-5) = -40 - 5(x-3)<br><br> Help
bagirrra123 [75]
6 + 2(x - 5) = -40 - 5(x - 3)
6 + 2x - 10 = -40 - 5x + 15
-4 + 2x = -25 - 5x
2x = -21 - 5x
7x = -21
x = -3
