Answer:

105 women

Step-by-step explanation:

8 to 5, sooo \/

8x + 5x = 273

13x = 273

x=273/13

x=21

8*21 = 168 men

5*21 = 105 women

(to check we can add 168 and 105 together and make sure we get 273. We do!)

3x – 2y = 17 <br> –2x – 5y = 14 <br> Solve using Elimination Please show work
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The solution is x=3 , y=-4 or (3,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations (1 and 2) are:

3x- 2y = 17\\-2x -5y = 14

To solve a system of equation with elimination method, the co-efficients of one of the variables has to be equated and then the equations are added or subtracted to get an equation in one variable.

Multiplying equation 1 by 2:

2(3x-2y) = 2*17\\6x-4y = 34\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Multiplying equation 2 by 3

3(-2x-5y) = 3*14\\-6x-15y = 42\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 4

Adding equation 3 and 4

(6x-4y) + (-6x-15y) = 34+42\\6x-4y-6x-15y = 76\\-19y = 76\\\frac{-19y}{-19} = \frac{76}{-19}\\y = -4\\

Putting y = -4 in equation 1

3x-2(-4) = 17\\3x+8 = 17\\3x = 17-8\\3x = 9\\\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3}\\x = 3

Hence,

The solution is x=3 , y=-4 or (3,-4)

13<br> 5<br> 11<br> True/False...the given triangle is a right triangle.<br> O True<br> O False
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

11 times 11 is 121

5 times 5 is 25

13 times 13 is 169

121+25 doesnt equal 169

this means it is not a right angled triangle as it does not follow pythag

How do I do 3 x 10^5
Ilya [14]

Answer: 3(10^5)

=3*10^5

=3*(10*10*10*10*10)

=300000

This is how you should do It, just when it is squared you should times the number like up here you times 10 times 10 5 times so if you see it you don't times it by 5 you do 10 times 10 times 10 times 10 times 10 like this

You should get it now

Have a good day

Yours,
