There are twelve people on the jury there were 4more man than women how many man were there/

2 answers:

8 0

Total no. of people = 12
Let,
the no. of women be "x"
Also, the question says, there were 4 more man than women.
So, total no. of men = 4 + x

Now,
according to the question,
x + (4 + x) = 12
  2x + 4 = 12
  2x = 12 - 4
  x = 8 / 2
x = 4

Now,
x + 4 = (4) + 4
= 8

So, there were 4 women and 8 men in the jury

$x-the \ number \ of \ women \\ x+4 -the \ number \ of \ men \\\\ x+x+4=12 \\\\ 2x+4=12 \\\\ 2x=12-4 \\\\ 2x=8 \\\\ \boxed{x=\frac{8}{2}=4 \ women} \\\\ x+4= \\\\ = 4+4\to\boxed{8 \ men}$

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation $y+2=\frac{3}{4} x-8$ is not yet in slope-intercept form( $y=mx+b$ ). Simply subtract 2 from both sides to turn the equation into slope intercept form as $y=\frac{3}{4}x-10$ . For a line to be perpendicular to another, it must have an opposite reciprocal slope. A reciprocal is the fraction reversed, where the numerator is the denominator and vice versa. Thus, 3/4 would become 4/3. The opposite reciprocal of 3/4 would be -4/3.

The slope of the line given is 3/4. Thus, simply plug in the opposite reciprocal of 3/4 for the slope to get: $y=-\frac{4}{3} x+b$ . Then, because the line passes through -12, 1, plug those values in for x and y, respectively.
