Answer:
C. 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say M is the original number of men and W is the original number of women.
M / W = 3 / 5
(M+2) / (W+1) = 2 / 3
Let's cross multiply both equations:
5M = 3W
3(M+2) = 2(W+1)
Let's simplify the second equation:
3M + 6 = 2W + 2
3M + 4 = 2W
From the first equation:
M = 3/5 W
Substitute:
3 (3/5 W) + 4 = 2W
9/5 W + 4 = 2W
4 = 1/5 W
W = 20
There were originally 20 women.
Let's check our answer. That would mean that M = 3/5 W = 12.
After 2 men walk in and 1 woman, W = 21 and M = 14, so 14/21 = 2/3. Looks like the answer is correct!
Answer C.
Answer:
It is y = -4/5x - 2 because you go left 4 and down 5 which makes both negative. And of course it is minus two.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 is the same thing as 2÷5 since / and ÷ both mean to divide. So therefore your blank would be 5.
Answer:
w = 3 is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to get w by itself.
<em>(2w - 1)/(4) = 2 - w </em><u>You will add the w on both sides.</u>
<em>(3w - 1)/(4) = 2 </em><u>You will multiply 4 on both sides.</u>
<em>3w - 1 = 8 </em><u>You will add 1 on both sides.</u>
<em>3w = 9 </em><u>You will divide 3 on both sides.</u>
w = 3 is your answer.
