Question

Tehere are 6 times as many union workers as there are non union workers at the acme plant.8 fewer than the number of union workers is equal to 4 times the number of non union workers.how many union workers are there at the plant?

Answer 1

if union workers is x and nonunion is y try figuring the equations out

Answer 2

can u explain how do i get the equation if u can please

Answer 3

sure. 6union=nonunion so 6x=y
8-union=4*nonunion so, 8-x=4y
solve the system

Answer 4

okie

Answer 5

try it out

Answer 6

am trying

Answer 7

ca not sorry

Answer 8

yes cause i wrote it wrong sorry. the first is x=6y. try it out now. s

Answer 9

still am still learning and i having trouble with this question

Answer 10

the equations have not been formed correctly.

lets call the number of union workers "u"
and the number of non-union workers "n"

"There are 6 times as many union workers as there are non union workers" translates to:
u = 6n

"8 fewer than the number of union workers is equal to 4 times the number of non union workers" translates to:
u - 8 = 4n

so, the equations to solve are:\[u=6n\tag{1}\]\[u-8=4n\tag{2}\]substitute the expression for "u" from (1) into (2) and solve to find "n".
then substitute this value of "n" into (1) to find "u".
