The ratio of the students to the professors is 1200:80 = 30:2 = 15.
- After enrollment the number of students will be 1450.
- So the number of professors after enrollment will become the unknown number, x.

➡️ 1200/80 = 1450/x

➡️ 1200x = 1450 * 80

➡️ 1200x = 116,000

➡️ x = 116,000/1200

➡️ x= 96.67

Solve the following inequality<br> 9x−2&gt;43
MrRissso [65]

Answer: x > 5

Explanation: First we want to look at our variable and ask ourselves what's happening to it. Since 2 is being subtracted from 9x, we always undo addition and subtraction first so we add 2 to both sides.

That gives us 9x > 45.

Now we need to undo multiplication and division. Since 9 is being multiplied by <em>x</em>, to get <em>x</em> by itself, we need to divide by 9 on the left side of the inequality. If we divide by 9 on the left side, we must also divide by 9 on the right side.

This leaves us with <em>x > 5</em> which is the solution to this inequality.

ax=3

Step 2: Divide both sides by x.

ax /x = 3 /x

a= 3 /x

Answer:

a= 3 /x

GIVING BRAINLIEST FOR BEST ANSWER!
kap26 [50]

Answer:

to do this question, add width + height. 4/6 + 2/5 are not normally add-able. So to correct this, we find the most common factors. There is 1, 5, and 6 at highest. 5 and 6 share a high number multiple if you combine them. This multiple is 30. So now, keep, change, flip.

4x2 is 8.

6x5 is 30.

I would say the answer should be eight thirtieths.
