To answer this item, we let x be the current number of chairs. After adding 50 chairs to the current inventory, the total number of chairs would then be equal to x + 50. The equation that would allow us to determine the value of x is written below.
x + 50 = (3/2)(x)
Simplifying the equation,
x + 50 = 3x/2
x - 3x/2 = -50
-x/2 = -50
Dividing both sides of the equation by -1/2, the value of x is equal to 100.
To increase the inventory by 40%, the equation would be,
y = x(1.4) = 1.4(100) = 140
<em>ANSWER: 140 chairs</em>
Answer:
a. The number sentence that is the topic sentence is sentence (1).
b. Sentence (6) does not contribute to the paragraph's unity. It can be eliminated, without changing the meaning that can be obtained from the paragraph. It does not support the topic.
c. The writer, in sentences 3 through 7, provides an example and further details to help the reader to understand her point.
d. The example in a sentence makes the idea clearer to the reader. Without the example, which provides further details, the reader may not clearly appreciate the topic under discussion.
Explanation:
The purpose of the topic sentence is to introduce the theme of the paragraph or the point of view of the writer. It captures the essence of the story. As it bears the central idea, it focuses the paragraph to achieve unity.

Explanation:
Product Line
A product line represents related products under a single brand name produced, grouped and sold by the same company. Organisations use product lines to keep and expand their consumer base by adding products that will appeal to their customers in the same line of products which they are familiar with.
A consumer will always be motivated to buy a complete kit of products in a product line to take care of similar issues such as skin care, face care among others rather than buying different products from different brands to make up a complete kit.
Most product lines are marketed in groups and are placed together to appeal to customers. Specifically, organisations know that consumers will be willing to test new products that are part of the same product line they have known and are used to.
Horizontally organised companies do not have a strict hierarchy of posts with increasing importance and allow more freedom to the employees.
Explanation:
Horizontally organised companies function very differently from traditional companies as the traditional structure is a pyramidal vertical structure.
<u>In this structure people at the top are few and are at higher positions and issue orders which are distributed by managers to employees.</u>
<u>In the horizontal structure the managers are taken out of play and even the employees make important decisions for the company.</u> This allows for greater morale and freedom but can only work for small and medium sized businesses in certain niches.
