Answer:
There are 8 inventors.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let 's' be the salesperson
Given that there are 3 more than twice as many salespeople as inventors.
Also given that the whole company has 27 employees.
i.e.
s + i = 27
substituting s = 3+2i
3 + 2i + i= 27
3 + 3i = 27
3i = 27 - 3
3i = 24
divide both sides by 3
i = 8
- Thus, there are 8 inventors.
<u>VERIFICATION</u>
As the total number of employees is 27.
so the salespeople will be:
s = 3+2i
= 3 + 2(8)
= 3 + 16
= 19
Thus, the total employees are verified as:
s + i = 27
19 + 8 = 27
27 = 27
Answer:
C. Action: Divide both sides by 3.
F. Property: Division property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
you are trying to get x by itself so if you divide by 3 you are taking the 3 from x, and what you do to one side you do to the other.
R+11+8r=29
-11 -11
r+8r=18
+1=18
9r=18
r=2
