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.

What is the value of x?<br> Enter your answer in the box.<br> x =
olasank [31]

Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum the the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

We know that the three angles of the triangle is 100°, x° - 4, and 3x°.

The sum of 100°, x° - 4, and 3x° must equal 180°. We can turn this into the equation:

100 + x - 4 + 3x = 180

(I got rid of the degree signs because they are not necessary when finding x.)

Now, to find the value of x, we would have to solve for x in the equation 100 + x - 4 + 3x = 180.

100 + x - 4 + 3x = 180

Subtract 100 from both sides to get rid of the 100 on the left side.

x - 4 + 3x = 180 - 100

Simplify.

x - 4 + 3x = 80

Add 4 from both sides to get rid of the -4 on the left side.

x + 3x = 80 + 4

Simplify and combine like terms.

4x = 84

Divide 4 from both sides to get rid of the coefficient of 4 on the left side.

x = 84/4

Simply.

x = 21

The value of x would be 21.

x = 21

I hope you find this helpful. :)
