If 40% of the total population of a particular town of 2500 are HIV positive. How many people are HIV negative.

1500 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 40% are HIV positive (that's a lot of people), 60% will be HIV negative. All you have to do is find 60% of 2500.

60% of 2500 = 0.6 * 2500 = 6 * 250 = 1500

Hope this helps!

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
