X=25 and y=-2 so then y=-40 and x=? you will have to divide and and multiple and the answer will be x=500
Hello there! Given there are 70 employees after downsizing by 30%, let x equal the number of employees prior to the layoffs:
70 would have to be 70% of x.
To find what 70 is 70% of, we can multiply by 100 because 100 is the base denominator:
70 • 100 = 7,000
Given this equation, we can now divide our result by 70 to get what the amount of employees before the layoffs is:
7,000 divided by 70 gives us 100.
x = 100
Now, we can plug our answer in to see if it makes sense.
Does 70/100 represent 70%?
Yes, it does. 70/100 reduces to 7/10, and by adding 3/10 to our 70%, we get the initial amount of employees.
Your final answer: There were 100 employees prior to the layoffs. If you have any extra questions, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
I got 110 but it might be wrong let me check.
Answer:
3t +2
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to combine the like terms, you look at the constants and the variables. A variable has a letter in it. When looking at this expression, you find that there are two variables, 4t and -t. You then simplify these variables, getting 3t because it is 4t - t. Now, there is a two left, and since that ISN'T a variable, and is a constant, we can't do anything with it because we cannot combine it with anything else in the expression. Your guess was partially right ;)
Hope this helped!
Can you take a better picture. That would help to answer the question.
