Let's come up with an equation for the numbers. We know that there are 136 faculty members, and there are 6 professors for every 11 lecturers. The equation could look something like this:
(6 * x) + (11 * x) = 136.
First, combine like terms:
6x + 11x = 136
17x = 136
Now, divide both sides by 17.
17x/17 = 136/17
x = 8.
Now, to check, plug in 8 for x in our equation:
(6 * 8) + (11 * 8) = 136
48 + (11 * 8) = 136
48 + 88 = 136
So to answer the question, they have 48 professors! :)
Answer:
D. 25p² - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Each side length of a square = 5p
Length of rectangle = 5p + 1
Width of the rectangle = 5p - 1
Area of rectangle = Length × Width
Area of rectangle = (5p + 1)(5p - 1)
= 5p(5p - 1) +1(5p - 1) (distributive property)
= 25p² - 5p + 5p - 1
Area = 25p² - 1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first two steps are for the purpose of eliminating fractions. Doing so results in 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 2), which is to be solved for x.
Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining:
8x - 20 = 9x - 18.
Then combine like terms: -2 = x, or
x = -2.
To complete the formal check, substitute -2 for x in the first equation. This results in:
(1/3)(-4 - 5) = (3/4)(-2 -2), or
-3 = -3
... which is obviously true.
Answer:
x=9
Reverse. 14-5=9, so x must be 9.
Hi there
To solve this question
0.03x+0.05 (6000-x)=220
Solve for x to know How much money was invested at 3%
First multiply the values
0.03x+0.05×6000-0.05x=220
0.03x+300-0.05x=220
Second calculate the difference and rearranging the values
0.03x-0.05x=220-300
-0.02x=-80
Divide both sides by-0.02 and divide the values
X=-0.02/-80
x=4000 invested at 3% this is the answer of your question
While the amount invested at 5% is
6000-4000=2000
Good luck!
