Answer:

38 women

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 9 (1 point)

In the middle school PTA there is a total of 47 men and women. The number of women the PTA is 2 more than four times the number of men. How many women are in the

PTA?

Let the number of men = x

Let the number of women = y

x + y = 47

y = 2 + 4x

We substitute

x + 2 + 4x = 47

Collect like terms

5x = 47 - 2

5x = 45

x = 45/5 = 9

y = 2 + 4x

y = 2 + 4 × 9

y = 2 + 36

y = 38

Therefore, the number of women = y = 38 women

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

125 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The path of Kristina is in the shape of a right triangle where, the perpendicular is the path from the McDonalds to the three-way junction which is 145 m and the shortest distance between the McDonalds and the church is 191.442 m.

By Pythagoras theorem

$145^2+x^2=191.442^2\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{191.442^2-145^2}\\\Rightarrow x=125\ \text{m}$
