To work out the profit, firstly, you have to work out the cost of buying them, which is $15 multiplied by 100, which is $1500. You then have to work out what he sold them all at, which is $29.99 multiplied by 100, which is $2999. You then have to subtract $1500 from $2999, giving you $1499. Therefore, Ace made $1499 in profit. Hope this helps :)

So, assuming that there is no overhead, we are finding the gross profit.

The profit will be
selling price - cost = gross profit or x
selling price - cost = x

1. selling price = $29.99 (no rounding)

2. cost = $15

selling price - cost = x

29.99 - 15 = x

Collect Like Terms
14.99 = x

Ace Landscaping made a gross profit of $14.99 per shovel.
Since they sold 100 shovels, their profit is increased 100-fold.

$14.99(100) = total gross profit

$1499 = total gross profit

Ace Landscaping grossed $1499. (A LOT) (RIP-OFF :P)

Solve the system of linear equations below.<br><br> y = -2x + 19<br> y = x + 7
ASHA 777 [7]
Hey there!

y = -2x + 19
y = x + 7

We gonna solve this system of equation by using the substitution method.

We wanna solve y = -2x + 19 for y

Let start by substitute -2x + 19 for y in y = x + 7

y = x + 7
-2x + 19 = x + 7

Subtract x from both sides

-2x + 19 - x = x + 7 - x

-3x + 19 = 7

Now subtract 19 on both sides

-3x + 19 - 19 = 7 - 19

-3x = -12

Then divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3 = -12/-3

x = 4

We have the value of x. Now we gonna use that same value to find the value for y.

We gonna do that by substitute 4 for x in y = -2x + 19

y = -2x + 19

y = -2(4) + 19

y = -8 + 19

y = 11

Thus,

The answer is: x = 4 and y = 11

Let me know if you have questions about the answer. As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, first subtract 5 from each side:

5 + 7x = 40

7x = 35

Then divide each side by 7:

x = 5

Simplify the expression using trigonometric identities: sec (–θ) – cos θ.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

sin θ . tan θ

Step-by-step explanation:

Note : -

sec ( - θ ) = sec θ

Formula / Identity : -

sec θ = 1 / cos θ

sec ( - θ ) - cos θ

= [ 1 / cos θ ] - cos θ

{ LCM = cos θ }

= [ 1 / cos θ ] - [ cos²θ / cos θ ]

= [ 1 - cos²θ ] / cos θ

{ 1 - cos²θ = sin²θ }

= sin²θ / cos θ

{ sin²θ = sin θ . sin θ }

= sin θ . sin θ / cos θ

{ sin θ / cos θ = tan θ }

= sin θ . tan θ

Hence, simplified.
