Answer:

  300

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ratio units in 6:5 is 6+5=11, so each of those ratio units must stand for 550/11 = 50 detectives. Then the 6 ratio units of police detectives stand for 6·50 = 300 police detectives.

Y = 5x + 7<br> 2x + y = -5<br> Are the equations parallel,<br> perpendicular, or neither?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Lines are neither perpendicular nor parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In equation 1, Y = 5X + 7

In equation 2,  Y = -2X -5

Step 2:

Slope Intercept form Y =mX +c

Where m = Slope

Slope of line 1 = 5

Slope of line 2 = -2

m1  is not equal to m2. Hence it is not parallel.

m1  × m2 is not equal to -1. Hence they are not perpendicular.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

It will take at least 15 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

12w+31 ≥ 205

Subtract 31 from each side

12w+31-31 ≥ 205-31

12w ≥ 174

Divide each side by 12

12w/12 ≥ 174/12

w ≥ 14.5

Rounding up to the nearest integer

w ≥ 15

It will take at least 15 weeks

1. Solve for the value of x
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<h3><u>x = 18</u></h3>

Explanation:

  • Line E B C Needs To Equal 180°
  • Create An Equation

3x + 5 + 3x + 4 + 3x + 9 = 180

  • Simplify Both Sides Of The Equation

(3x + 3x + 3x) + (5 + 4 + 9) = 180( Combine Like Terms)

9x + 18 = 180

9x + 18 = 180

  • Subtract 18 From Both Sides

9x + 18 − 18 = 180 − 18

9x = 162

Divide Both Sides By 9

9x / 9 = 162 / 9

<h3><u>x = 18</u></h3>
