Answer:

x=11, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set 1 equal to x-5y and then solve for x. and y.

x = 5y+1

y = x-1/5

We can use this information and plug back in the values for 3y-x or x-5y.

We can set -3 = 3y-x or 1 = x-5y.

To solve for x using -3 = 3y-x we can swap the values of x and y which would make it -3 = 3(x-1/5)-5(x-1/5)+1.

We can do a bit of algebra which would get us x = 11.

Knowing that y = x-1/5 we can plug in 11 for x. y = 11-1/5.

y=2

x=11, y=2

Jason sells computer software. He earns a base salary of $2,766.79 per month. In addition, he earns 9% of his total monthly sale

ipn [44]

Let's start with saying he earned 2766.79. He he also earns 9% of his sales.

9% of something is just .09 multiplied by that something. So if he earns 9% of 3743.37 plus the 2766.79, then we can say

y= 0.09 * 3743.37 + 2766.79
y = 3,103.69

Air pressure may be represented as a function of height (in meters) above the

denis-greek [22]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Air pressure may be represented as a function of height (in meters) above the surface of the Earth, as shown below:</h3><h3> $P(h) =P_0e^{-0.00012h}$ </h3><h3> In this function $P_o$ is the air pressure at the surface of the earth, and $h$ is the height above the surface of the Earth, measured in meters. At what height will the air pressure equal 50% of the air pressure at the surface of the Earth"</h3><h3></h3>

Given the following function:

$P(h) =P_0e^{-0.00012h}$

In order to calculate at what height the air pressure will be equal 50% of the air pressure at the surface of the Earth, you can follow these steps:

1. You need to substitute $P(h)=0.5P_o$ into the function:

$0.5P_o=P_0e^{-0.00012h}$

2. Finally, you must solve for $h$ .

Remember the following property of logarithms:

$ln(b)^a=a*ln(b)\\\\ln(e)=1$

Then, you get this result:

$0.5P_o=\frac{P_o}{e^{0.00012h}}\\\\(0.5P_o)(e^{0.00012h})=P_o\\\\e^{0.00012h}=\frac{P_o}{0.5P_o}\\\\ln(e)^{0.00012h}=ln(2)\\\\0.00012h*1=ln(2)\\\\h=\frac{ln(2)}{0.00012}\\\\h=5576.2$
