Answer:

There are 8 inventors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 's' be the salesperson

Let 'i' be the inventors

Given that there are 3 more than twice as many salespeople as inventors.

i.e s = 3+2i

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.

VERIFICATION

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

Annita, Gary, and Tara all run races. Annita has 7 less than 4 times the number of race medals as Tara. Gary has 13 more than 2

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

4 t - 7 = 2 t+ 13 is the required equation.

The number of race medals Tara has is t = 20 medals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of medals Tara has = t medals

So, the number of medal Anita has = 4( Medals of Tara) - 7

= 4t - 7

And the number of medals Gary has = 2 times (Medals of Tara) + 13

= 2(t) + 13 = 2t + 13

Now, Annita and Gary has same number of medals.

⇒ 4t - 7 = 2t+ 13

or, 4t - 2t = 7 + 13

⇒ 2t = 20

⇒ t = 20/2 = 10

or t = 10

Hence, the number of race medals Tara has is t = 20 medals

If you know the diameter of a circle,

arsen [322]

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Area of a circle = πr², where r means radius.

Step 1: converted diameter to radius.

diameter = 2 radius

In other way of writing, radius = $\frac{1}{2}$ diameter.

Step 2: substitute radius into the formula.

Area of a circle = π( $\frac{1}{2}$ d)²

Step 3: substitute π into the formula.

some question is given the value of π), if not substitute 3.14 for π.

Area of a circle = 3.14( $\frac{1}{2}$ d)²

Step 4: substitute d into the formula, then we can solve its area.

b. a. Circumference of a circle = 2πr, where r means radius.

Step 1: converted diameter to radius.

diameter = 2 radius

In other way of writing, radius = $\frac{1}{2}$ diameter.

Step 2: substitute radius into the formula.

C = 2π( $\frac{1}{2}$ d)

Step 3: substitute π into the formula.

some question is given the value of π), if not substitute 3.14 for π.

C = 2(3.14)( $\frac{1}{2}$ d)

Step 4: substitute d into the formula, then we can solve its circumference.
