Answer: 240 men

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that there were 600 performers in a dance recital and that the ratio of men to women is 4:6.

Fraction of men at the recital = 4/10

Fraction of women at the recital = 6/10

The number of men performers that were in the dance recital will be:

= 4/10 × 600

= 240 men

There were 240 men at the recital.

Find the LCM of n^3 t^2 and nt^4.<br><br> A) n 4t^6<br> B) n 3t^6<br> C) n 3t^4<br> D) nt^2

patriot [66]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple (LCM) of any two numbers is the smallest number that they both divide evenly into.

The given terms are $n^3t^2$ and $nt^4$ .

The factored form of each term is

$n^3t^2=n\times n\times n\times t\times t$

$nt^4=n\times t\times t\times t\times t$

To find the LCM of given numbers, multiply all factors of both terms and common factors of both terms are multiplied once.

$LCM(n^3t^2,nt^4)=n\times n\times n\times t\times t\times t\times t$

$LCM(n^3t^2,nt^4)=n^3t^4$

The LCM of given terms is $n^3t^4$ . Therefore the correct option is C.

What is x equal to?<br><br> 3(x + 5) = 2(3x + 18)

Anna [14]

<span>3(x + 5) = 2(3x + 18)
Use the distributive property:
3(x)+5(3)=2(3x)+18(2)
Simplify:
3x+15=6x+36
6x+36=3x+15
3x+36=15
3x=-21
x=-7

Check answer:
3(-7+5)=2(-21+18)
3(-2)=2(-3)
-6=-6

Hope this helps :)

A line goes through the point (6,-2) and has a slope of -3. What is the value of a if the point (a,7) lies on the line?

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\$

From the question the slope is - 3

To find the value of a we have

$- 3 = \frac{7 - - 2}{a - 6} \\ - 3 = \frac{7 + 2}{a - 6} \\ - 3(a - 6) = 9 \\ - 3a + 18 = 9 \\ - 3a = 9 - 18 \\ - 3a = - 9$

Divide both sides by - 3

$\frac{ - 3a}{ - 3} = \frac{ - 9}{ - 3} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
