Answer:

The waste management company employs 125000 workers and the recycling industry employs 1150000 workers.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven:

The recycling industry employs approximately 1,025,000 more workers than the waste management company.

Together they provide 1,275,000 jobs.

Now, to find how many jobs does each industry provide.

Let the waste management company employs workers be x.

And the recycling industry employs be 1,025,000+x.

Total they provide = 1,275,000.

According to question:

x+(x+1025000)=1275000.

2x+1025000=1275000.

Subtracting both sides by 1025000 we get:

2x=250000.

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

x=125000.

So, the waste management company employs workers = 125,000.

And, the recycling industry employs workers = 1,025,000+125,000=1150000.

Therefore, the waste management company employs 125000 workers and the recycling industry employs 1150000 workers.

Solve |2x - 2| < 8
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x - 2| < 8

it implies that

2x - 2 < 8

2x -2 + 2 < 8 + 2

2x < 10

x < 5

or

-(2x - 2) < 8

-2x + 2 < 8

-2x + 2 - 2 < 8 - 2

- 2x < 6

x > -3 ( the sense of the inequality reverse because I divided by minus)

The solution can be combine to

-3<x<5

Pascale leaves the office to go home. She walks 12 blocks due north and then 9 blocks due west. How far is she from the office?
Stells [14]

Answer:

15 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the right triangle

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

12^2 + 9^2 = h^2

144+81 = h^2

225= h^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(225) = sqrt(h^2)

15 = h
