At Acme Inc., there are 3 more than twice as many salespeople as inventors. If the whole company has 27 employees,
how many inventors are there?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 8 inventors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 's' be the salespersonLet 'i' be the inventors

Given that there are 3 more than twice as many salespeople as inventors.

i.e s = 3+2i

Also given that the whole company has 27 employees.

i.e.

s + i = 27

substituting s = 3+2i

3 + 2i + i= 27

3 + 3i = 27

3i = 27 - 3

3i = 24

divide both sides by 3

i = 8

Thus, there are 8 inventors.

VERIFICATION

As the total number of employees is 27.

so the salespeople will be:

s = 3+2i

  = 3 + 2(8)

  = 3 + 16

  = 19

Thus, the total employees are verified as:

s + i = 27

19 + 8 = 27

27 = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

took the test, was correct.

x= 6, y=7

solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equations.

The value of x is 0.05 and y is 4.8 for given system of equations.

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

The given  system of equations are

y=2+56x...(1)

4x−3y=3...(2)

Substitute (1) in equation (2)

4x-3(2+56x)=3

4x-6+168x=3

172x-6=3

Add 6 on both sides

172x=9

Divide both sides by 172

x=9/172

x=0.05

Now plug in x value in equation 1

y=2+56(0.05)

=2+2.8

y=4.8

Hence, the value of x is 0.05 and y is 4.8 for given system of equations.

Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution of the linear inequality.
x ≤ 3; (–2, 6)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x\le \:3\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x\le \:3\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:(-\infty \:,\:3]\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Thus, -2 comes under the interval domain of the inequality (-∞, 3].

Hence, (-2, 6) is a solution to the linear inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear inequality

x ≤ 3

substitute the value of x = -2

-2  ≤ 3

TRUE

It is clear that -2 is indeed less than 3. Thus, the ordered pair (-2, 6) is a solution to the linear inequality.

Also,

[tex]x\le \:3\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x\le \:3\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:(-\infty \:,\:3]\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Thus, -2 comes under the interval domain of the inequality (-∞, 3].

No, they are not inverses.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out if this are inverses we will have to switch the x and y in one of the equations. Let's do it with the second equation:

(Remember that f(x)/g(x) and y are virtually the same)

y = -4x + 2

Switch x and y

x = -4y + 2

Now solve for y

x - 2 = -4y

[tex]-\frac{x}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = y\\-\frac{x}{4} + \frac{1}{2} = y[/tex]

Therefore, the 2 functions in the question are not inverses of each other because the actual inverse has a negative in front of the -x/4.

Answers

Answer:the answer is a

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 2(14x - 3y + 28x + 12.2 - 5y - 17.5) is equivalent to the expression 84x - 16y -10.6 option (A) is correct.

What is an expression?

It is defined as the combination of constants and variables with mathematical operators.

We have an expression:

= 2(14x - 3y + 28x + 12.2 - 5y - 17.5)

= 28x - 6y + 56x + 24.4 - 10y - 35

Adding like terms

= 84x - 16y -10.6

Thus, the expression 2(14x - 3y + 28x + 12.2 - 5y - 17.5) is equivalent to the expression 84x - 16y -10.6 option (A) is correct.

Answers

Hello!

[tex]\large\boxed{Slope = -\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]

x + 3y = 2

Rewritten into slope form: y = mx + b

Find the slope when rewritten:

Move x to the right hand side of the equation. (Subtract)

x - x + 3y = 2 - x

3y = 2 - x

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 2/3 - 1/3x

Rearrange:

y = -1/3x + 2/3.

The slope is equivalent to -1/3.

Calculate the height of a right circular cylinder with a surface area of 300 square inches and a radius of 5 inches. a. 2.45 inches c. 8.25 inches b. 4.55 inches d. 3.65 inches

Answers

Answer:

The height of the right circular cylinder is 4.55 inches ⇒ b

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the surface area of a right circular cylinder is

S.A = 2πrh + 2πr², where

r is its radiush is its height

∵ The surface area of a right circular cylinder is 300 square inches

S.A = 300 in.²

∵ Its radius is 5 inches

r = 5 in.

∵ π = 3.14

→ Substitute them in the rule above

300 = 2(3.14)(5)(h) + 2(3.14)(5)²

∴ 300 = 31.4h + 157

→ Subtract 157 from both sides

∵ 300 - 157 = 31.4h + 157 - 157

∴ 143 = 31.4h

→ Divide both sides by 31.4

∵ 4.554140127 = h

4.55 = h

The height of the right circular cylinder is 4.55 inches

Ob babysits the kids next door every day after school for 1.5 hours. He earns $3.50 an hour. How much money will he earn in 6 weeks if school is in session 5 days a week the whole time? Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

$157.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of hours worked after the school = 1.5 hours

Earnings per hour = $3.50

Earnings for one day or 1.5 hours = 1.5 \times 3.50 = $5.25

Earnings for 5 days or a week = Number of days [tex]\times[/tex] Earnings for 1.5 hours = 5 [tex]\times[/tex] 5.25 = $26.25

Number of weeks for which Ob works = 6

Total earnings in 6 weeks = Number of weeks [tex]\times[/tex] Earnings in one week = Number of weeks [tex]\times[/tex] Earnings in 5 days

Total earnings in 6 weeks = 6 [tex]\times[/tex] $26.25 = $157.5

Given a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 3, label the normal curve below.

Answers

Answer:

The points from the left;

71, 74 , 77, 80, 83, 86 , 89

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to label the normal curve given the mean and the standard deviation

From what we have, the central part is the mean while the other parts are deviations from the mean

We will label the graph starting from the left to the right

1 is 3 SD from the mean (negatively)

That will be 80-3(3) = 80-9 = 71

2 is 2 SD away

That will be;

80 -2(3) = 80-6 = 74

The 3rd part is 1 SD away

That will be 80-3 = 77

The midpoint is for the mean which is 80

The point after this will be;

80 + 3 = 83

The point after this will be;

83 + 3 = 86

Next is

86 + 3 = 89
