It's a bit of a bummer to have to work through all of these to find the answer. That a lot of slope calculations (or graphing, or whatever). When there are this many, a spreadsheet or other machine help can make it easier.
The correct choice is the last one, XYZ, with vertex X being where the right angle is located.
_____
Slope of XY is 4/7; slope of XZ is -7/4. The product of these is -1, so those segments are at right angles.
1/10 has the greatest value
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.
You eliminate or ‘take away’ the answers that you know or think that r wrong. The last answer that’s left is your answer.
