Let x be the total number of person in the police force
24/100 × x = 72
x = 72/0.24
Therefore x = 300

The # of males = 300 - 72 = 228

<span>Let x be the total of people on the police force 24x=72 Divide both sides by 24 x=300 since there is 300 people on the force and 72 are ladies. We subtract 300-72= 228 So there is 228 male police officers :)

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.
Ksju [112]

The mid-point for given endpoints is (4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

a mid-point is the point on a line segment that divides it into two equal portions.

If (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coordinates of vertices of a line segment, then mid-point is given by:

M = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

given

(x1,y1) = (9,9)

(x2,y2) = (-1,-3)

M = (\frac{9-1}{2}, \frac{9-3}{2})\\\\=(\frac{8}{2}, \frac{6}{2})\\\\=(4,3)

The mid-point for given endpoints is (4,3)

6(m-1) = 3(3m + 2) Show all work
nordsb [41]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf m = -4}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf Solve \:  for  \: m: \\  \sf \implies 6 (m - 1) = 3 (3 m + 2) \\  \\  \sf Expand \:  out  \: terms \:  of \:  the \:  left  \: hand \:  side: \\  \sf \implies 6 m - 6 = 3 (3 m + 2) \\  \\  \sf Expand \:  out  \: terms  \: of  \: the  \: right \:  hand \:  side: \\  \sf \implies 6 m - 6 = 9 m + 6 \\  \\  \sf Subtract \:  9 m  \: from  \: both  \: sides: \\  \sf \implies (6 m - 9 m) - 6 = (9 m - 9 m) + 6 \\  \\  \sf 6 m - 9 m = -3 m: \\  \sf \implies -3 m - 6 = (9 m - 9 m) + 6 \\  \\  \sf 9 m - 9 m = 0: \\  \sf \implies -3 m - 6 = 6 \\  \\  \sf Add  \: 6 \:  to \:  both  \: sides: \\  \sf \implies (6 - 6) - 3 m = 6 + 6 \\  \\  \sf 6 - 6 = 0: \\  \sf \implies -3 m = 6 + 6 \\  \\  \sf 6 + 6 = 12: \\  \sf \implies -3 m = 12 \\  \\  \sf Divide  \: both  \: sides  \: of \:  -3 m = 12 \:  by \:  -3: \\  \sf \implies  \frac{ - 3m}{ - 3}  =  \frac{12}{ - 3}  \\  \\  \sf \frac{ - 3}{ - 3} = 1: \\  \sf \implies m =  \frac{12}{ - 3}  \\  \\  \sf -  \frac{12}{3}  =  - 4 :  \\  \sf \implies m =  - 4
