Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is actually pretty simple. If x= a person, then 2x is men, and x is women.

You just have to solve for x.

714=2x+x

714=3x

x=238

Then you have to multiply it back out.

Men: 476

Women: 238

I hope this helps!

If you need help with anything else, or this answer just doesn't make sense, just let me know!

X+2x=714. (x being the number of women attending) the equation then simplifies to 3x=714. then solve 714/3=238 so x=238 so 238 women attended the concert. (and 476 men)

17n + 4n- 4= 122<br><br> how do i solve for n?

Leokris [45]

Answer:

n = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

17n + 4n - 4 =122

combine like terms 17n & 4n

21n - 4 = 122

21n - 4 + 4 = 122 + 4

21n = 126

21n / 21 = 126 / 21

n = 6

Multiplying and dividing radical expressions and leaving them in factored form. I am trying to find the best and easy way to get

Answer:

$\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} / \frac{27x^2 + 72x}{3x^2 - 27} = \frac{(x - 3)(x+3)}{6x(18 - x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} / \frac{27x^2 + 72x}{3x^2 - 27}$

Required

Solve

Change / to *

$\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} * \frac{3x^2 - 27}{27x^2 + 72x}$

Factor out 3

$\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} * \frac{3(x^2 - 9)}{3(9x^2 + 24x)}$

$\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} * \frac{(x^2 - 9)}{(9x^2 + 24x)}$

Factorize:

$\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} * \frac{(x^2 - 9)}{3x(3x + 8)}$

Cancel out 3x + 8

$\frac{1}{36 - 2x} * \frac{(x^2 - 9)}{3x}$

Factorize:

$\frac{1}{2(18 - x)} * \frac{(x^2 - 9)}{3x}$

Combine

$\frac{x^2 - 9}{2*3x(18 - x)}$

$\frac{x^2 - 9}{6x(18 - x)}$

Express the numerator as a difference of two squares

$\frac{(x - 3)(x+3)}{6x(18 - x)}$

Hence:

$\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} / \frac{27x^2 + 72x}{3x^2 - 27} = \frac{(x - 3)(x+3)}{6x(18 - x)}$

I need help with this question. Thank you!

sdas [7]

Answer:

gradient is the same as slope The gradient or slope of line A = 3/1 or 3

The gradient of line B is -4/1 or -4

gradient or slope = rise over run = y/x.

if the line goes up from the left to the right, The slope is positive.

if the line goes down from the left to the right, The slope is negative

Can somebody plz help draw the spinner with these probabilities on the question like take a pic of how it looks like or explain

DanielleElmas [232]

I will draw a rough figure, you can draw it neatly.

Probability =

Probability = No. of favourable outcomes/ Total no. of outcomes

Probability = No. of favourable outcomes/ Total no. of outcomesTotal number of outcomes = 4

So, here:

P(2) = 2/4 = 1/2

P(1) = 1/4

P(3) = 1/4

P(4) = 0

Here, the probability of getting 2 is ½.

Probability of getting 1 is ¼.

Probability of getting 3 is ¼.

Probability of getting 4 is 0.

Answer:

$\sf f(-3) = 23$

<u>given:</u>

$\sf f(x) = 3x^2 -4$

to find the output, replace x with the given integer.

solve:

$\sf f(-3) = 3(-3)^2 -4$

$\sf f(-3) = 3(9) -4$

$\sf f(-3) = 27 -4$

$\sf f(-3) = 23$
