Answer:

x + y = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x : y : z = 5 : 1 : 3, then

\frac{x}{y} = 5 ( multiply both sides by y )

x = 5y ←

and \frac{y}{z} = \frac{1}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3y = z

Substitute z = 3y into z - y = 28

3y - y = 28

2y = 28 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 14 ← ←

Substitute y = 14 into x = 5y

x = 5 × 14 = 70 ← ←

Substitute y = 14 into z - y = 28

z - 14 = 28 ( add 14 to both sides )

z = 42 ← ←

Thus x = 70, y = 14 and z = 42

Hence x + y = 70 + 14 = 84

(this shows the percent of people that would work over time on a regular basis out of the 30 people) 12/30= (40%) of the 30 said they would work overtime.

200×.4=80 employees of the 200 would have probably have said they would work overtime.

What is the slope of this line? (-4.5) (0.6) (8.8) Enter your answer in the box.
Luden [163]

Answer:

m= 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Take two points. Let's use the first and second. Subtract one y coordinate from the other. 6 - 5 = 1

2) Do the same process with the x coordinates. 0 - -4 = 4 (0 + 4)

3) Make the answer from the y coordinates the numerator and the answer from the x coordinates the denominator, and you have your final answer: 1/4
