Answer:

2067 voters

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that three out of five voters support a candidate.

This means 3/5 votes support a candidate

Let the total number rod candidates be represented as x

If 1,240 voters support the candidate,

how many voters participated in the election in all?

Hence,

3/5 of x = 1240 voters.

3/5 × x = 1240

3x /5 = 1240

Cross Multiply

3x = 1240 × 5

x = 1240 × 5/3

x = 2066.6666667 voters

Approximately to the nearest whole number:

2067 voters

The base of a parallelogram is28.4 centimeters the height is one fourth of the base. What the area of the parallelogram?
brilliants [131]
The base of a parallelogram is 28.4 cm.
 The height is one fourth of the base.
28.4 ÷ 4 = 7.1, so the height is 7.1 cm.
What the area of the parallelogram?
The area of any parallelogram is the base times the height.
28.4 cm × 7.1 cm = 201.64 cm²

Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at the given point. 
jarptica [38.1K]

slope = 13

the slope of the tangent is f'( 4)

given f(x) = x² + 5x , then f'(x) = 2x + 5

and f'(4) = ( 2 × 4 ) + 5 = 13

30 POINTS FOR SIMPLE QUESTION
Komok [63]

-4 = y + 3


y = -4x - 3


 Solve for Y in the first equation:

-4 = y +3

Subtract 3 from both sides:

y = -7

Now using the addition method:

rewrite the second equation as 4x+y = -3


Multiply y = -7 by - 1 to get -y = 7

Now add the two together:

4x +y = -3

    -y =7

4x = 4

Divide each side by 4:

x = 4/4 = 1


Then replace x in one of the equations to solve for y which is -7

X = 1, Y = -7
