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.
The students rented 4 small cars and 8 large cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of people in small car = 4
Number of people in large car = 7
Total people in both type of cars = 72
Let,
x represent the number of small cars rented.
y represent the number of large cars rented.
According to given statement;
4x+7y=72 Eqn 1
y = 2x Eqn 2
Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1
Dividing both sides by 18
Putting x=4 in Eqn 2
The students rented 4 small cars and 8 large cars.

- Congruent by SSS

- Congruent by SAS
==================================
Explanations:
- We have 3 pairs of congruent sides. The tickmarks tell us how the congruent sides pair up (eg: the double tickmarked sides are the same length). So that lets us use SSS. The shared overlapping side forms the third pair of congruent sides.
- We have two pairs of congruent sides (the tickmarked sides and the overlapping sides), and an angle between the sides mentioned. Therefore, we can use SAS to prove the triangles congruent.
- We don't have enough info here. So the triangles might be congruent, or they might not be. The convention is to go with "not congruent" until we have enough evidence to prove otherwise.
- We can use SAS like with problem 2. Vertical angles are always congruent.
- This is similar to problem 1, so we can use SSS here.
- There isn't enough info, so it's pretty much a repeat of problem 3
- Same idea as problem 4.
- Similar to problem 2. We have two pairs of congruent sides and an included angle between them allowing us to use SAS
The abbreviations used were:
- SSS = side side side
- SAS = side angle side
The order is important with SAS because the angle needs to be between the sides mentioned.
The relationship between the 6's in 7,664 is that it can be 600 and 60.
