5 'parts' of the total company staff are men, and 8 'parts' are women.
That's 13 'parts' all together, comprising 364 people.
So each 'part' is 364/13 = 28 people.

Men = 5 'parts' = 5 x 28 = <u>140 men</u>

Women = 8 'parts' = 8 x 28 = <u>224 women</u>

<em><u>Check:</u></em>

140/224 = 70/112 = 35/56 =<em> </em><em>5/8</em>

140 + 224 = <em>364</em>

yay !

So first, this is point slope form. The first step is to distribute.)
y-4=-2x-6
Then add 4 to both sides.
y=-2x-2
Then add 2x and it becomes
2x+y=-2

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

30 kg 500g + 28kg 700g

= 58kg + 1200g

= 59kg 200g.

Difference

= 30 kg 500g - 28kg 700g

= 2kg + 500 - 700

= 2kg - 200g

= 1kg 800g.

In simplest radical form, what are the solutions to the quadratic equation 6 = x2 – 10x?
Marina86 [1]

we have

6 = x^{2}- 10x

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

x^{2}- 10x+25=6+25

x^{2}- 10x+25=31

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x-5)^{2}=31

(x-5)=(+/-)\sqrt{31}\\ x1=5+\sqrt{31} \\ x2=5-\sqrt{31}

therefore

the answer is

the solutions are

x1=5+\sqrt{31} \\ x2=5-\sqrt{31}

Does anyone know the answer?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Part A: 9.75x > 195

Part B: x > 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Mark works for x hours. For each hour he works, 9.75 dollars are added to Mark's salary. Therefore, for 1 hour, he gets $9.75, for 2 hours, he gets $9.75 + $9.75 = $9.75 * 2 = $19.50, and for x hours, he gets $9.75 * x as his salary.

We want his salary to be more than $195, so we have $9.75 * x (his salary) > $195, which can be written as 9.75x > 195

divide both sides by 9.75 to solve for x

x > 20
