Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of medals won by the Russians.

The way to do this is to add the ratios together

1 + 8 + 5 = 14

(5/14) x = 25

Multiply by 14

5*x = 25 * 14

5x = 350              

divide by 5

70

8/14 = x / 70

14x = 8 * 70

14x = 560

x = 560 / 14

x = 40

The USA won 40 medals.

1/14 = x / 70

14x = 70

x = 5

Canada Won 5 medals.

Check

Russia       Won 25 medals

Canada     Won   5 medals

USA           Won 40 medals

Total 70

Simplify the expression: 7 - 7(5 + x) - 9x <br> Your answer
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

-16x-28

Step-by-step explanation:

Break it into little pieces; start with distributing the -7:

-7(5+x)

-35-7x

Now add the rest of the problem: 7-35-7x-9x

Combine like terms: 7-35               7x-9x

7-35=-28             7x-9x=-16x

Rearrange so the coefficient and variable are upfront, giving you:

-16x-28

An auto insurance company has 10,000 policyholders. Each policy is defined as: young or old male or female; and married or singl
Blababa [14]

Answer:

880

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem a bit annoying, but let's classify the numbers and see where we can get from there:

Total = 10,000

Young = 3,000

Old = 7,000 (not young defined as 10,000 - 3,000)

Male = 4,600

Female = 5,400

Married = 7,000

Single = 3,000

Young Males = 1,320

Young Females = 3,000 (young) - 1,320  = 1,680

Married Males = 3,010

Married Females = 7,000 - 3,010 = 2,990

Young Married = 1,400

Young Married Males = 600

Young Married Females = 1,400 - 600 = 800

Young Female Single = ?

Young Female = 1,680 from above.  But not all of them are single.

Young Married Females = 800 from above

Young Female Single = Young Female - Young Married Females = 1,680 - 800 = 880
