Solve the equation -18 + 24 = -2(x+6)

2 answers:

5 0

First, do -2 times x. that is -2x. Next, do -2 times +6. That should be -12. The last steps are in order, add 18 on both sides. it should be -18+18 and -12+18. now you have 24 on the left and -2x and +6. -6 on both sides. 6-6 and 24-6. now you have 18 and -2x. so get rid of the -2x by doing -2x/-2 and on the left side 18/-2. So the answer should be -9=x.

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-18+24 = -2(x+6) Distribute and simplify

6 = -2x-12 Add 12 to both sides

18 = -2x Divide by -2 on both sides

-9 = x Here's your answer

Hope this helps! :D

Jose and Maris work for different car dealerships. Jose earns a monthly salary of $3,500 plus a 6% commission on his sales, x. M

aev [14]

Answer: d.3,500 + 0.06x > 4,000 + 0.04x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write each inequality:

Jose earns a monthly salary of $3,500 plus a 6% commission on his sales, x.

So, his monthly earnings must be equal to the sum of the fixed monthly salary ($3500) plus the product of the number of sales (x) and the commission percentage in decimal form (divided by 100):

So:

Jose’s earnings: 3,500 + x (6/100)

Jose’s earnings: 3,500 + 0.06x

Maris earns a monthly salary of $4,000 plus a 4% commission on her sales.

So, her monthly earnings must be equal to the sum of the fixed monthly salary ($4000) plus the product of the number of sales (x) and the commission percentage in decimal form (divided by 100):

Maris’ earnings: 4000+ x (4/100)

Maris’ earnings: 4000+ 0.04 x

Since Jose's earnings must be greater than Maris' earnings

3,500 + 0.06x >4000+ 0.04 x

The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories

ziro4ka [17]

The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960. Choose the correct statement.

Answer: In the given regression equation, the calories are in thousands. Therefore, the slope 0.005 (0.005 x 1000 =5 calories) means the consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

Hence the option a. Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year. is correct
