There are 60 players on football team that are not seniors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Given

Total students = 84

Also given that

2 out of 7 are seniors

Which is 2/7

So in order to find the total number of seniors we will multiply the whole number of students to 2/7

$Senior\ students = \frac{2}{7} * 84\\= 24$

So there are 24 seniors on the football team.

Players that are not seniors = 84 - 24 = 60

There are 60 players who are not seniors.

Method 2:

We can divide the total number by 7, to get how many sets of 7 players will be there

= 84/7 = 12

Now,

Multiplying 12 with 2 will give us the number of seniors in football team.

12*2 = 24 seniors

So,

Not seniors =84-24 = 60

Which equation describes a line parallel to y= 4x+ 5 through point (-2, 1)?

Tema [17]

Hi there!

For a line to be PARALLEL, it must contain the same slope.

The given line has a slope of 4, so we can use the point-slope formula to solve:

$\large\boxed{y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}$

y1 = y-coordinate of given point

x1 = x-coordinate of given point

m = slope

Plug in the values:

$y - 1 = 4(x - (-2))\\\\y - 1 = 4(x + 2)$

Simplify:

$y - 1 = 4x + 8\\\\\boxed{y = 4x + 9}$

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

57,800 is 23.8% of the total number of registered doctors.

To find out the number of registered doctors, we divide the number of female doctors by 23.8% as a decimal (which is just 0.238):

57,800 ÷ 0.238 = 242,857
