Answer: 35 additional teachers are needed
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
We have 2470 students and the ratio of students to teachers is 26:1. This means that for every teacher, there are 26 students. Put another way, we can set up this ratio
2470/x = 26/1
where x is the number of teachers. Cross multiply and solve for x
2470/x = 26/1
2470*1 = 26*x
2470 = 26x
26x = 2470
26x/26 = 2470/26
x = 95
So we have 95 teachers currently
-------------
Let y be the new number of teachers needed to bring the ratio down to 19:1
Using a similar idea as done above, we would have this ratio
2470/y = 19/1
Let's solve for y
2470/y = 19/1
2470*1 = 19*y
2470 = 19y
19y = 2470
19y/19 = 2470/19
y = 130
So we'll need 130 teachers to have the ratio be 19:1
The difference of the values is y - x = 130 - 95 = 35, which is the final answer. This is the additional amount of teachers needed.
Answer:
125.141
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that this is an equilateral triangle, I am going to divide this triangle in half to get a right triangle.
17 is our hypotenuse
17/2 = 8.5, this is one of our legs
The other leg is our height, which we will find.
We use Pythagoras Theorem to find the height/leg: 

= 14.72243186
Now, we use another formula to find the area of the triangle: 
14.72243186 × 17 = 250.2813416
250.2813416 ÷ 2 = <u>125.1406708</u>
Answer:
2744 pennies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pennies Al have initially.
We have been given that Al agreed to give 3/7 of his pennies to Bev, so number of pennies Bev will get would be
.
We are also told that Bev gave 3/7 of what she got from Al to Carl, so number of pennies that Carl will get would be
.
Further, Carl gave 3/7 of what he got from Bev to Dani, so number of pennies that Dani will get would be
.
We are also told that Dani received 216 pennies. Now, we will equate 216 to
and solve for x as shown below:
Therefore, Al have 2744 pennies initially.
Answer:
x = 0
y = 5
z = -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
X-5y-z=-20
-2x-y-6z=25
-x-4y-z=-15
Add equation 1 and 3:
-9y - 2z = -35 .......... A
Multiply the first equation by 2:
2x - 10y - 2z = -40
Now add this to equation 2:
-11y -8z = -15.............B
Now multiply equation A by -4:
36y + 8x = 140.........C
Add equations B and C:
25y = 125
y = 5.
Substitute for y in equation A:
-9*5 - 2z = -35
2z = -45 + 35 = - 10
z = -5.
Now find x by substituting for y and z in the first equation:
x - 5(5) - (-5) = -20
x - 20 = -20
x = 0.
Answer:
x=17
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+8) = 7+4x
3x+24 = 7+4x
24 = 7+x
17=x
