A large community college has professors and lecturers. The total number of faculty members is 136. The school reported that they have 6 professors for every 11 lecturers. How many professors does the community college employ?

48 professors

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add 11 + 6 = 17

Here is what I did after that,

136 / 17 = 8

I divided 136 by 17 because for every 11 lecturers there are 6 professors, and to get the total amount of how many times there are 6 professors and 11 lecturers.

After that, you would multiply 8 * 6, since there are 6 professors.

So, the answer that I got would be 48.

Hope this helps :)

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
