Hello! In order to understand this question, we need to take a look at the content that is involved.
Lupita pays $40.03 in total. Meaning that's where we are going to start if we want to find out how many miles her ride was. Since the taxi charges a flat rate of $6.75. We would want to subtract it from her total value because we only work with that flat rate once. Which ends up giving us $33.28. From there, we don't need to worry about the flat rate anymore and we now focus on the mileage. If it costs $3.20 per mile, then we can simply divide the amount after to flat rate by the cost per mile, to figure out how many miles she has gone. In the end, you will get 10.4 miles.
-3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) + (-3) (6 - 4b)
First, simplify your brackets. / Your problem should look like: -3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) + -3 (6 - 4b)
Second, simplify. / Your problem should look like: -3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) - 3 (b - 4b)
Third, expand your problem. / Your problem should look like: -3x + 15 - 8y - 16 - 18 + 12b
Fourth, simplify. / Your problem should look like: -3x - 8y + 12b - 19
Answer: -3x - 8y + 12b - 19 (D)
Answer:60 male staff
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, there are 96 female staff. The ratio of male to female is 3:4. We’re going to use a proportion which looks like this. 3/4 = x/96. X is a variable that takes the place of the male staff since we don’t know what it is. Now, the question is what do we do to get from 4 to 96. So 96/4 = 24, so 4 x 20 = 96. To keep this ratio equivalent whatever you do to the top you have to do to the bottom so 4 x 20 = 96 and 3 x 20 = 60. So there are 60 male staff.
x − y = 0 = difference
x + y = 4 = sum
Can be solved by the sum and difference rule (most of the time without pen and paper)
x=(sum+difference)/2=0+4/2=2
y=(sum-difference)/2=(4-0)/2=2
