Answer:
I don't know how to explain the math, but I know the answer is 115 women for every 100 men.
A line parallel to your equation has the same slope, so it should be in the form:
y = (-3/2)x + b
To figure what "b" has to be, plug in the point (4,0) and solve:
0 = (-3/2)*4 + b
0 = -6 + b
6 = b
So the equation of the line is:
y = (-3/2)x + 6
I can only assume that you meant, "Solve for x:"
Apply the exponent 3/2 to both sides of this equation. The result will be
3/2
343 = x/6.
Multiplying both sides by 6 isolates x:
3/2
6*343 = x Since 7^3 = 343, the expression for x
can be rewritten as
3/2
6*(7^3) = x which can be further simplified, as follows:
x = 6^(3/2)*7^(9/2), or:
x = 6^(3/2)*7^(8/2)*√7, or
x = 6^(3/2)*7^4*√7
