In a company, 37% of 1500 employees are females.work out the number of males in the company.

a_sh-v [17]

Formula:

$y = p\% \times x$
$p = 37\% \div 100 = 0.37$
$y = 0.37 \times 1500 = 555$
so there are 555 woman working.
$1500 - 555 = 945$
there are 945 men working

7/3x+1/3x=3x+6/3+5/3x
8/3x-5/3x=3x+6/3
3/3x=3x+6/3
x=3x+6/3
x-3x=6/3
-2x=2
-x=2/2
-x=1

How do you solve 6=3+5(y-2)

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

y= 2,75

Step-by-step explanation:

6 = 3 + 5 (y-2)

6=8(y-2)

6/8=y-2

¾=y-2

0,75+2=y

y= 2,75

Jake has a rectangular garden that measures 12 feet by 14 feet. He wants to increase the area by 50% and plans to increase each

emmasim [6.3K]

<em>In order to increase the area of a rectangular garden that measures 12 feet by 14 feet by 50% Jake must increase each dimension by equal lengths, x:</em>

$x\approx 2.9ft$

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

First of all, let's calculate the area of the original rectangular garden:

$A=b\times h \\ \\ b:base \\ \\ h:height \\ \\ \\ b=12ft \\ \\ h=14ft \\ \\ \\ A=12(14) \\ \\ A=168ft^2$

Jake wants to increase the area by 50%, so the new area would be:

$A'=168(1.5) \\ \\ A'=252ft^2$

He wants to increase the area by 50% and plans to increase each dimension by equal lengths, x, so this is represented by the figure below, therefore:

$(12+x)(14+x)=252 \\ \\ 168+12x+14x+x^2-252=0 \\ \\ x^2+26x-84=0 \\ \\ \\ Using \ quadratic \ formula: \\ \\ x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ a=1 \\ \\ b=26 \\ \\ c=-84 \\ \\ \\ x=\frac{-26 \pm \sqrt{26^2-4(1)(-84)}}{2(1)} \\ \\ x=\frac{-26 \pm \sqrt{1012}}{2} \\ \\ \\ Two \ solutions: \\ \\ x_{1}=-13+\sqrt{253} \approx 2.9\\ \\ x_{2}=-13-\sqrt{253} \approx -28.9 \\ \\ x_{2} \ is \ discarded \ because \ it \ can't \ be \ negatives$

Finally:

<em>In order to increase the area of a rectangular garden that measures 12 feet by 14 feet by 50% Jake must increase each dimension by equal lengths, x:</em>

$x\approx 2.9ft$

How can you use similar triangles to find a missing measurement?

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

By comparison of the sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangles are similar, that means their angles are equal and sides are proportional.

If you already have a proportion of two corresponding sides between triangles, then use that proportion and set it equal to a side you already know the measurement to. Hopefully that side is corresponding to your missing measurement, and you can then solve it.
