I know it's either A B C or D.
7/x = 84 / (156 -x)
84x = 7(156 -x)
84x = 1092 - 7x
91x = 1092
x = 12
AC = 156 - 12 = 144
answer
D. 144
Answer:
proof below
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that a number is even if it is expressed so n = 2k. It is odd if it is in the form 2k + 1 (k is just an integer)
Let's say we have to odd numbers, 2a + 1, and 2b + 1. We are after the sum of their squares, so we have (2a + 1)^2 + (2b + 1)^2. Now let's expand this;
(2a + 1)^2 + (2b + 1)^2 = 4a^2 + 4a + 4b + 4b^2 + 4b + 2
= 2(2a^2 + 2a + 2b^2 + 2b + 1)
Now the sum in the parenthesis, 2a^2 + 2a + 2b^2 + 2b + 1, is just another integer, which we can pose as k. Remember that 2 times any random integer, either odd or even, is always even. Therefore the sum of the squares of any two odd numbers is always even.
I used a Venn Diagram which I attached.
Think of it as a flower and work your way from the center out to the doubles (two kinds of coffee) and finally the singles (only one kind of coffee)
I place 4 in the center to represent the people that like all three.
Then I put 8 in the Latte Espresso group since they along with the 4 who like all three, make up the 12 who like lattes and espresso. I put 4 in the Latte & Cappuccino group since they and the 4 who like all coffees, make up the 8 who like lattes and cappuccinos. And then I put 5 in the Espresso Cappuccino group who along with the 4 in the middle make up the 9 who like both of those.
In all 20 like lattes and my latte circle already has 16 so I added 4 (who only like lattes). 22 like espresso and I have accounted for 17 (8+4+5) so that means there are 5 who only like espresso. Finally out of the 17 who like cappuccinos, 13 are already accounted for so I will add 4 who like only cappuccinos.
Since there are 50 people and I can account for 34 of them (add all the numbers in all three circles), there must be 50-34 people who don't like any. The correct answer is
d.16
This problem has a slope of 2
7-3. 4
----- = ---. = 2
