Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

Men:Woman = 3:2
54 women = Total woman in a company

<u>3:2 can also be written as 3x:2x.</u>

=> Men:54 = 3x:2x
=> 54 = 2x
=> x = 27
=> Men = 3x
=> Men = 3(27) = 81
=> Total employees: 81 + 54
=> Total employees: 135

There are 135 employees in total.

3 to 5

3x+5x=176

8x=176

x=176/8

x=22

3*22= 66 men

5*22= 110 women

1. 2x^2-x-15=0
A = 2
B = -1
C = -15

2. 10^2-2x=0
A = 10
B = -2
C = 0

3. x^2–3x-40=0
A = 1
B = -3
C = -40

4. x^2+3x-2=0
A = 1
B = 3
C = -2

5. 4x^2-17x+8=0
A = 4
B = -17
C = 8

Remember the equations should look like Ax^2+Bx+C=0 (in this order!!)

What is the answer to 8x^3+125 by factoring the perfect cube?

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{8x^3+125=(2x+5)(4x^2-10x+25)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8x^3+125=2^3x^3+5^3=(2x)^3+5^3\\\\\text{use}\ a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)\\\\=(2x+5)((2x)^2-(2x)(5)+5^2)\\\\=(2x+5)(4x^2-10x+25)$

ann arranges her marbles in groups, with 8 marbles in each group. She writes the fraction 5/8 to show the fraction of marbles in

DerKrebs [107]

If there are 8 marbles in a group , and 5 out of every 8 is red, than in six groups there would be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 red marbles.

This lists the group of 6 sets.

30 red marbles in 6 sets.

In ΔDEF, what is sin D, in simplified form?

Igoryamba

Answer: second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You must apply $sin\alpha=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

Then, given the right triangle and the angle D, the opposite side and the hypotenuse of the triangle are the following:

$opposite=20\\hypotenuse=25$

Therefore, when you substitute values, you have:

$sinD=\frac{20}{25}$

Reduce the fraction, then you obtain:

$sinD=\frac{4}{5}$
