The inequality <u>6s - 300 > 210</u> represents the minimum number of socks (s) when George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair, and want to make a profit of more than 210.

In the question, we are given that George bought socks for $300.

Therefore, George's total cost = $300.

We assume the number of pairs of socks George sells to be s.

The unit price per pair quoted by George = $6

Therefore, George's total sales = $6s.

We know that the profit over a transaction is given as the difference between sales and costs, that is,

The profit = The total sales - the total costs,

or, profit = 6s - 300.

In the question, we are required to make a profit of more than 210.

This can be shown by the inequality,

6s - 300 > 210.

Thus, the inequality <u>6s - 300 > 210</u> represents the minimum number of socks (s) when George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair, and want to make a profit of more than 210.

valina [46]

Let us say that:

x = cost of shorts

y = cost of slacks

z = cost of sports coat

 

From the given statements, we can create the following equations:

eqtn 1: 3 x + y = 10.96

eqtn 2:  7 x + 2 y + z = 30.40

eqtn 3:  4 x + z = 14.45

 

Rewrite eqtn 1 explicit to y:

y = 10.96 – 3 x                    --> eqtn 4

 

Rewrite eqtn 3 explicit to z:

z = 14.45 – 4x                     --> eqtn 5

 

Plug in the values of y (eqtn 4) and z (eqtn 5) to eqtn 2:

7 x + 2 (10.96 – 3 x) + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40

7 x + 21.92 – 6 x + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40

- 3 x + 36.37 = 30.40

- 3 x = - 5.97

x = 1.99

 

Eqtn 4:

y = 10.96 – 3 x   

y = 10.96 – 3 (1.99)

y = 4.99

 

Eqtn 5:

z = 14.45 – 4x

z = 14.45 – 4 (1.99)

z = 6.49

 

 

Therefore each shirt cost $1.99, each slacks cost $4.99, and each sports coat cost $6.49.

If f(x) equals x/2+8 what is f(x) when x=10
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to find f(x) when x equals 10, we can substitute 10 in for x

f(x)=x/2 +8

f(10)=10/2+8

Divide 10 by 2

f(10)=5+8

Add 5 and 8

f(10)=13

So, f(x) when x=10 is 13

Please help, simplify the polynomial 14x^2+4+3x-12x^2-3+11x
Misha Larkins [42]
When simplifying you want to combine like terms so 14x²-12x² will equal 2x², now we move on to X, where 3x+11x will result in 14x, last we add up numbers without X so 4-3 is 1.
The Answer will end up being 2x²+14x+1 (B)

<h3>Answer:</h3>

A) Isosceles

E) Obtuse

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Ways to Define a Triangle

Triangles can be defined in two ways: by angles and by sides. Equilateral, isosceles, and scalene are based on side length. Acute, right, and obtuse are based on angle measurements. Triangle may only fall under one category for side length and one for angle measure (2 categories total).

Side Length

First, let's define equilateral, isosceles, and scalene.

  • Equilateral - All 3 sides of the triangle are congruent (equilateral are always acute angles).
  • Isosceles - 2 of the sides are congruent.
  • Scalene - There are no congruent sides; each side has a different length.

The triangle above has 2 congruent sides as shown by the tick marks on the left and right sides. This means the triangle is isosceles.

Angle Measurements

Now, let's define acute, right, and obtuse.

  • Acute - All 3 angles are less than 90 degrees; all angles are acute.
  • Right - 1 of the angles is exactly 90 degrees; it has a right angle.
  • Obtuse - 1 of the angles is greater than 90 degrees; there is an obtuse angle.

The largest angle in the triangle is 98 degrees, which is obtuse. This means that the triangle is obtuse.
