Answer:

145 women

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{8} = \frac{x}{232}$

5 = women

8 = total (3+5, men + women)

x = total women

232 = total employees

232 X 5 = 145

Can someone plz help me with this!

asambeis [7]

Answer:

(arranged from top to bottom)

System #3, where x=6

System #1, where x=4

System #7, where x=3

System #5, where x=2

System #2, where x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

System #1: x=4

$2x+y=10\\x-3y=-2$

To solve, start by isolating your first equation for y.

$2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10$

Now, plug this value of y into your second equation.

$x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\x+6x-30=-2\\7x=28\\x=4$

System #2: x=1

$x+2y=5\\2x+y=4$

Isolate your second equation for y.

$2x+y=4\\y=-2x+4$

Plug this value of y into your first equation.

$x+2(-2x+4)=5\\x+(-4x)+8=5\\x-4x+8=5\\-3x=-3\\x=1$

System #3: x=6

$5x+y=33\\x=18-4y$

Isolate your first equation for y.

$5x+y=33\\y=-5x+33$

Plug this value of y into your second equation.

$x=18-4(-5x+33)\\x=18+20x-132\\-19x=-114\\x=6$

System #4: all real numbers (not included in your diagram)

$y=13-2x\\8x+4y=52$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$8x+4(13-2x)=52\\8x+52-8x=52\\0=0$

<em>all real numbers are solutions</em>

System #5: x=2

$x+3y=5\\6x-y=11$

Isolate your second equation for y.

$6x-y=11\\-y=-6x+11\\y=6x-11$

Plug in your value of y to your first equation.

$x+3(6x-11)=5\\x+18x-33=5\\19x=38\\x=2$

System #6: no solution (not included in your diagram)

$2x+y=10\\-6x-3y=-2$

Isolate your first equation for y.

$2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$-6x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\-6x+6x-30=-2\\-30=-2$

<em>no solution</em>

System #7: x=3

$y=10+x\\2x+3y=45$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$2x+3(10+x)=45\\2x+30+3x=45\\5x=15\\x=3$

Find the coordinates of point P that lies along the directed line segment AB in a 2:3 ratio given A (-2, 1), B (3, 4).

saul85 [17]

Answer:

$P(x,y) = (0,\frac{11}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (-2,1)$

$B = (3,4)$

$m:n = 2:3$

Required

Determine the coordinates of P

The coordinate of a point when divided into ratio is:

$P(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})$

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (-2,1)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (3,4)$

$m:n = 2:3$

This gives:

$P(x,y) = (\frac{2 * 3 + 3 * -2}{2 + 3},\frac{2 * 4 + 3 * 1}{2 + 3})$

$P(x,y) = (\frac{6 - 6}{5},\frac{8 + 3}{5})$

$P(x,y) = (\frac{0}{5},\frac{11}{5})$

$P(x,y) = (0,\frac{11}{5})$

In 2003 there were 1078 JC Penney stores and in 2007 there were 1067 stores.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

a) $f(s)=\frac{-11}{3}s+\frac{3245}{3}$ $f(1)=1078 stores$ b) 2012, 1049 stores. 2014, 1041 stores. c) Yes it is a downsizing company.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

s=year | f(s) = number of stores per year

1 | 1078

4| 1067

$m=\frac{1067-1078}{4-1}\Rightarrow m=\frac{-11}{3}\\1078=-\frac{11}{3}*1+b\Rightarrow b=\frac{3245}{3}\\f(s)=\frac{-11}{3}s+\frac{3245}{3}$

s=1 in 2003

$s=1 year =2003\\ Testing\\f(1)=\frac{-11}{3}(1)+\frac{3245}{3}=\frac{3234}{3}=1078\\ f(1)=1078$

b) For 2012, s=9. For 2014, s=11

$\\f(s)=\frac{-11}{3}s+\frac{3245}{3}\\ \\f(9)=\frac{-11}{3}(9)+\frac{3245}{3}\cong1049\\\\f(11)=\frac{-11}{3}(11)+\frac{3245}{3}\cong=1041$

c) In deed. Since the function shows a decreasing amount of JC Penney stores. Maybe this is a downsizing from this company, progressively closing some stores.

A ladder is leaning against

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

15^2 + 20 ^2 = x^2

225+400= x^2

625 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(625) = sqrt(x^2)

25 = x
