9514 1404 393

Answer:

  400

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the number of employees a year ago, the current number is ...

  x + 0.33x = 53,200

  x = 53,200/1.33 = 400

The company had 400 employees a year ago.

Taya2010 [7]
The number in the ones place= X
The number in the tenths place= y
y+x=14.
y=14-x

Original placement of numbers=10y+x
New placement of numbers(after subtraction of 36)= 10x+y

10y+ x-36=10x+y
Substitute y with 14-x
So we would get

10(14-x)+ x-36=10x+(14-x)
=140-10x+x-36=10x+14-x
After transposing we get
140-14-36=10x-x+10x-x
=90=18x
X=90/18
x=5

Y=14-x
=14-5
=9


So the two digit number is
10y+x
=90+5
=95

I was at the store, and saw two sizes of avocados being sold. The smaller size sold for $0.92 each. For what prices would the la
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Large avocados should cost $ 1.83 or less to be a good deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two types of avocado in the store, some small at $ 0.92 and others larger, to determine at what price large avocados would be a good deal, an equivalence must be established in this regard:

Thus, if two small avocados are equal to one large, buying two small avocados at $ 0.92 the total price would be $ 1.84. Therefore, any large avocado that sells for less than $ 1.84 would be a good deal. Thus, large avocados should cost $ 1.83 or less to be a good deal.

Find the values of a and b that make the quadrilateral a parallelogram.
Yuri [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

both halves of a diagonal must be equal.

so,

8b - 30 = 6b + 6

2b = 36

b = 18

and

9a - 13 = 5a + 5

4a = 18

a = 18/4 = 4.5

Determine the equation of the line with slope 3 that passes through the point M(1, 2).
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the slope along with an (x, y) coordinate with which to write the equation.  You could use this info in the slope-intercept form and solve for b, or you could use this info in the point-slope form and solve it for y.  Trust me when I tell you that either one will get you the correct equation.  Promise!  I used the point-slope form, just because.  ; )

y - 2 = 3(x - 1) and

y - 2 = 3x - 3 and

y = 3x - 1 OR in standard form, we will put the x and y terms on the same side of the equals sign, separated from the constant:

-3x + y = -1.  But if we get picky and do not like to lead with negatives, we could change ALL the signs to their opposites (which is the same as multiplying the whole thing by a -1) to get

3x - y = 1 which is the third choice down.
