Answer 2

Answer:

C. 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of stereos.

We have been given that a salesman sold each stereo for $1500. He earned a commission of 16.5% on each stereo sold.

The amount of commission earned on each stereo would be 16.5% of 1500.

[tex]1500\times \frac{16.5}{100}=15\times 16.5=247.5[/tex]

The amount of commission earned on x stereos would be [tex]247.5x[/tex].

We are told his base salary is $33,170, so total salary of salesman would be [tex]247.5x+33,170[/tex].

We are also given that last year he earned $37,625. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]247.5x+33,170=37,625[/tex]

[tex]247.5x+33,170-33,170=37,625-33,170[/tex]

[tex]247.5x=4455[/tex]

[tex]\frac{247.5x}{247.5}=\frac{4455}{247.5}[/tex]

[tex]x=18[/tex]

Therefore, the salesman sold 18 stereos last year.

The sum of two numbers is 86, and their difference is 20. Find the two numbers

Answers

Answer:

x = 53, y = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers = x, & the other = y. Set the equations:

x + y = 86

x - y = 20

This is a system of equation, in which the variables must be true for both of them.

First, choose a equation to use. In this case, I will choose x + y = 86. Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract y from both sides.

x + y = 86

x + y (-y) = 86 (-y)

x = 86 - y

Now, note the other equation: x - y = 20. You now know that x = 86 - y. Plug in 86 - y for x in the "other" equation:

x - y = 20

(86 - y) - y = 20

Simplify. Combine like terms:

86 - y - y = 20

86 - 2y = 20

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& Roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction):

First, subtract 86 from both sides:

86 (-86) - 2y = 20 (-86)

-2y = 20 - 86

-2y = -66

Isolate the variable, y. Divide -2 from both sides:

(-2y)/-2 = (-66)/-2

Note: Before we go any further, I want to remind you of division & multiplication rules. There are 3 kinds, when you are multiplying two positive numbers (+/+), when you are multiplying a positive number with a negative number (+/-), and when you are multiplying a two negative numbers (-/-). Note the "table" in the bottom:

________________________________________________________

(+/+) : Two positive numbers multiplied/divided with each other will always result in a positive answer:

Examples:

10/5 = 2

20/10 = 2

(+/-) : One positive number and one negative number multiplied/divided with each other will always result in a negative answer:

Examples:

20 x -5 = -100

50 x -3 = -150

(-/-) : Two negative numbers multiplied/divided with each other will always result in a positive answer:

Examples:

-30 x -5 = 150

-200/-10 = 20

________________________________________________________

Now, solve the equation:

(-2y)/-2 = (-66)/-2

y = -66/-2

Divide.

y = 33

One of your numbers (y) is 33. Plug in 33 for y in one of the equations:

x + y = 86

x + (33) = 86

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 33 from both sides.

x + 33 (-33) = 86 (-33)

x = 86 - 33

x = 53

Your answers: x = 53, y = 33.

Check: Plug in 53 for x, 33 for y in the equations:

x + y = 86:

(53) + (33) = 86

86 = 86 (True)

x - y = 20:

(53) - (33) = 20

20 = 20 (True)

Your answers: x = 53, y = 33

~

Answer: 53 and 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the first number and "y" the second number.

Based on the information provided we can set up a system of equations:

[tex]\left \{ {{x+y=86} \atop {x-y=20}} \right.[/tex]

Applying the Elimination method, we can add both equations and solve for the variable "x":

[tex]\left \{ {{x+y=86} \atop {x-y=20}} \right.\\................\\2x=106\\\\x=\frac{106}{2}\\\\x=53[/tex]

Now we can substitute [tex]x=53[/tex] into one of the original equations and solve for the variable "y":

[tex]53+y=86\\\\y=86-53\\\\y=33[/tex]

c. I=5350E

d. E=5350E+37100

Answers

Answer:

a. I=5350E +37100

Step-by-step explanation:

The trend line does not start at the origin so we can immediately rule out option C

The equation should be in slope intercept form so we can rule out option D, since E is the x axis and we are looking for y = mx + b not x = mx + b.

Option B is ruled out because if we plug in the value of E = 2 then we get:

I = 5350(2) - 37100

I = 10700 - 37100

I = -16400

Answers

Answer:

Yes, [tex]y=-x[/tex]  describes "y" as a funcion of "x", because  each input value (value of "x") has only one ouput value (value of "y").

 Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a relation is a function if  each input value (value of "x")has only one ouput value (value of "y").

We need to remember that "y as a function of x" means that  "x" is the independent variable and "y" is the dependent variable or, in other words,  the value of the variable "y" depends upon the value of the variable "x".

Then, [tex]y=-x[/tex] is a function, because each input value has one and only one output value. For example:

If [tex]x=-2[/tex], then:

[tex]y=-(-2)=2[/tex]

If [tex]x=1[/tex], then:

[tex]y=-(1)=-1[/tex]

If [tex]x=5[/tex], then:

[tex]y=-(5)=-5[/tex]

Therefore,  [tex]y=-x[/tex]  describes "y" as a funcion of "x".

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use the parabola tool to graph the quadratic function.
f(x)=(x-2)^2-3
graph the parabola by first plotting its vertex and then plotting a second point on the parabola

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply by comparing the given

f(x)=(x-2)^2-3   to

f(x) = (x-h)^2 + k, we see that h = 2 and k = -3, which tells us that the vertex of the graph is (2, -3).  This parabola opens up because the coefficient of (x-2)^2 is +1.

Evaluating f(x)=(x-2)^2-3 at x = 4 (an arbitrary value), we see that

                 f(4) = (4-2)^2 - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1.

The point (4, 1) is also on the graph of this parabola.

Graph the vertex (2, -3) and the arbitrarily chosen point (4, 1).  Remember that (2, -3) is the minimum of this function, so for x other than 2, the y-value is greater than -3.

Classify the following triangle

Answers

Answer:

Isosceles and obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not a scalene triangle because it has two same lengths 41 degrees and 41 degrees.

It is a Isosceles triangle because two of the sides have the same lengths 41 degrees and 41 degrees

It is an obtuse triangle because it has on obtuse angle which is 98 and two acute angles that are 41 degrees

It is not an equilateral because not all of the sides are the same lengths

It is not a right triangle because there are 90 degree angles

It is not an acute triangle because not all the angles are acute angles

Final answer:

A triangle can be classified based on its angles and sides. A Trigonal Bipyramidal triangle has angles of 90 degrees or 120 degrees, and atoms can be positioned equatorially (in the plane of the triangle) or axially (above or below the plane). Always remember that the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Explanation:

The classification of a triangle depends on its angles and sides. If you have a triangle like a Trigonal Bipyramidal, the angles of such a triangle can be 90 degrees or 120 degrees. This relates to a three-dimensional trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry where three atoms or groups of atoms are positioned in a flat triangle around a central atom, symmetrically positioned with 120° angles between each pair.

Another element you mentioned is the position of an attached atom in a triangle. This can be either equatorial (in the plane of the triangle) or axial (above or below that plane).

For detailed classification, always keep in mind that the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is always 180°. A triangle with one angle measuring 90° is a right triangle. An equilateral triangle has all angles measuring 60°. In the trigonal planar case, all atoms are in one plane, and bond angles are 120°.

what is the probability of rolling a 6 sided die and getting a 1 or a prime number

Answers

Answer:

P = 4 / 6 = 2/3 = 0.66 = 66%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the die is numbered 1 to 6.

To answer the question, we first need to know many prime numbers can be represented on the die.  What are the prime numbers equal to 6 or lower?

We have 2, 3 and 5.  (since 4 and 6 are not prime numbers).  So we have 3 prime numbers, plus the number 1... so there are 4 possibilities valid for rolling a 1 or a prime number: 1,2,3 and 5.

4 possibilities out of 6 total possible outcomes, so...

P = 4 / 6 = 2/3 = 0.66 = 66%

Answer:

The probability of rolling a 6 sided die and getting a 1 or a prime number = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers on the die are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

To find the probability

Total outcomes of rolling a die = 6

Prime numbers less than 6 are 2, 3 and 5

Possible outcomes(getting 1 or a prime number) =  1, 2, 3 and 5

Probability of getting 1 or prime number when rolling a die = 4/6 = 2/3

The table below relates the number of rats in a population to time in weeks. Use the table to write a linear equation with w as the input variable.

P(w)=

Answers

Answer:

C(w) = 6w + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Anytime 0 is given somewhere, it should be given close scrutiny. In an equation whose general form is

y = mx + b

0 will determine the y intercept immediately.

So when x = 0, y will equal

y = 0*m + 9

So b = 9

y = mx + 9 Now we need to find m

I should start using your variables.

C(w) = m*w + 9

when w = 3 then C(3) = 27

27= 3m +9

27-9 =3m + 9 -9

18 = 3m

18/3 = 3m/3

x = 6

So the complete equation is

C(w) = 6w + 9

Answer:

[tex]P(w)=6w+9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the linear equation, first we need to calculate the slope of that line, we is defined as

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

Where we need to use two points from the table: (0,9) and (4,33).

Replacing these points, we have

[tex]m=\frac{33-9}{4-0}=\frac{24}{4} =6[/tex]

Now, we use the point-slope formula to find the equation

[tex]y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-9=6(x-0)\\y=6x+9[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts of the function (x − 1)(x − 4)(x + 7) can be found by putting this function equal to zero

(x − 1)(x − 4)(x + 7) = 0

Now,

x-1 = 0

x-4 = 0

and x+7 = 0

Now finding the values of x

x-1 = 0 + 1

x - 1 + 1 = 1

=> x = 1

or (1,0)

x - 4 = 0

x -4 + 4 = 0 + 4

x = 4

or (4,0)

x + 7 = 0

x +7 -7 = 0 -7

x = -7

or (-7,0)

SO, the x-intercepts of the function (x − 1)(x − 4)(x + 7) are (1,0),(4,0) and (-7,0)

Option C is correct.

Answer:

+ 1  + 4   -7

Step-by-step explanation:

when they ask for x intercepts you simply have to set the function to 0 and then solve for x or in other words just reverse the number for example. here we have -1 -4 and +7 so just reverse the negative and positive signs

A multiple of 3 is 3 or 6 and a multiple of 4 is 4.

Probability(3 or 6) = 2/6 = 1/3.

Probability(4 ) = 1/6.

So Probability ( multiple of 3 or a multiple of 4) = 1/6 + 1/3

= 1/2.

The graph shows how fast a strand of human hair grows.
How many inches would the hair have grown in 5 months

Answers

Answer:

2 and a half @ 2.5 inches (sorry i can't type the fraction)

Step-by-step explanation:

english is my second language so sorry if you doesn't understand:

(1/2, 1/4)=(x,y)

based on the graph shown that each grid on the y axis represents 1/4, that is the smallest scale stood in the y axis.

this means 2 grid= 1/4 x 2 = 1/2 @ 0.5 inches.

since the '5 months-hair-length' is above about 2 grid above 2 inch:

2 inch + 0.5 inch= 2.5 inch

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Describe the relationship between the area and the perimeter of two squares with a length of 2.5 and 5.

Answers

The perimeter and area are doubled. The small square is half of the bigger square

For this case we have by definition, that the area of a square is given by:

[tex]A = l ^ 2[/tex]

While the perimeter is given by:

[tex]p = 4l[/tex]

Where:

l: It's the side of the square.

Square 1: [tex]l = 2.5[/tex]

[tex]A = (2.5) ^ 2 = 2.5 * 2.5 = 6.25\\p = 4 (2.5) = 10[/tex]

Square 2: [tex]l = 5[/tex]

[tex]A = (5) ^ 2 = 5 * 5 = 25\\p = 4 (5) = 20[/tex]

We can see that the perimeter of the second square is double that of the first. In addition, the second area is four times that of the first square.

Answer:

[tex]p_ {2} = 2p_ {1}\\A_{2} = 4A_ {1}[/tex]

Zahra wants the equation below to have an infinite number of solutions when the missing number is placed in the box.

Answers

Answer:

box contains - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a(x - 3) + 2x = -(x - 5) +4              Remove the brackets on both sides

ax - 3a + 2x = -x + 5   + 4             Subtract 2x from both sides.

ax - 3a + 2x - 2x = -x - 2x + 9

ax - 3a = - 3x + 9

ax - 3(-3) = - 3x + 9

ax + 9 = - 3x + 9

Now if you make a = -3 then both sides with have - 3 for the x coefficient.

Any number could be put in for x and it will make the answer on both sides equal. Notice you could subtract 9 from both sides and it will not change the condition of the problem.

Answer:

c = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Call the unknown c

c(x-3) +2x = -(x-5) +4

Distribute the negative sign

c(x-3) +2x = -x+5+4

Combine like terms

c(x-3) +2x = -x +9

Subtract 2x from each side

c(x-3) +2x-2x = -x-2x +9

c(x-3) = -3x+9

Factor a -3 from the right side

c(x-3) = -3(x-3)

Divide by (x-3)

c = -3

The right and left hand side need to be equal for there to be infinite solutions, so c = -3

This document lists womens grievances against men, emphasizing their lack of the elective franchise (voting rights). The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded menboth natives and foreigners.Having deprived her of this first right of a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides.He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead.He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earnsIn the covenant of marriage, she is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and purposes, her masterthe law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty, and to administer chastisementHe has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration.He closes against her all the avenues to wealth and distinction, which he considers most honorable to himself. As a teacher of theology, medicine, or law, she is not known.He has denied her the facilities for obtaining a thorough educationall colleges being closed against herHe has endeavored, in every way that he could to destroy her confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and abject life.Now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one-half the people of this country, their social and religious degradation,in view of the unjust laws above mentioned, and because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of these United States.Which quotation from the text best supports the inference that many women are not fighting for equal rights?A.
