Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

people in building ---- x

children --- y

men + women + children = x

(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x

3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x

times 14

6x + 5x + 14y = 14x

14y = 3x

y + 220 =x

sub into the other one

14y = 3(y+220)

11y = 660

y = 60

then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280

So we have 280 people in the building.

check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120

leaving 160 women and children

5/8 of these ot 100 are women

so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!

Given that (-4,3) and (6,-3) are opposites points on the circle (i.e diameter) write the equation of the circle
ElenaW [278]
The center of the circle is the midpoint of the points or ((-4+6)/2,(-3+3)/2)=(1,0). Now, the diameter is the distance between the points. Using distance formulas (or noticing that the y-values are the same so it is a horizontal line), the distance is 10. Therefore, the radius is 5. The equation of a circle is (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2 where (a,b) is the center. Therefore, the equation is (x-1)^2+(y-0)^2=5^2.

−2x − 10 = 15 I'm really un smart
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

x = -12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

your goal is to get x alone so

-2x - 10 = 15

(add ten to both sides)

-2x = 25

(divide -2 to both sides)

x = -12.5

remember that whatever u do to one side of the equation, you have to do to the other so they even out!
