Solution :

2a + 2b = 7    ...1)

4a + 3b = 12   ...2)

In equation, 1)

a = (7 - 2b)/2   ...3)

Putting value of a in equation 2) we get :

4 × (7 - 2b)/2  + 3b = 12

2( 7 - 2b ) + 3b = 12

14 - 4b + 3b = 12

b = 2

Putting value of b in 3) we get :

a = ( 7 - 2×2)/2

a = 3/2 = 1.5

Now,

2x - 3y = 16   ...5)

x + 2y = -6    ...6)

x = -6 - 2y

Putting above value of x in eq 5) , we get :

2( -6 - 2y ) - 3y = 16

-12 - 4y - 3y = 16

7y = -28

y = -4

x = -6 - ( 2× -4 )

x = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.

if I || m then 5x+12 =m<2 and m<2 + 2x + 14 = 180°

2x + 14 + 5x + 12 = 7x + 26 =180°

7x = 154 ➡x = 21°

e-lub [12.9K]

Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

  • Men:Woman = 3:2
  • 54 women = Total woman in a company

<u>3:2 can also be written as 3x:2x.</u>

  • => Men:54 = 3x:2x
  • => 54 = 2x
  • => x = 27
  • => Men = 3x
  • => Men = 3(27) = 81
  • => Total employees: 81 + 54
  • => Total employees: 135

There are 135 employees in total.
