Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached triangle
Required
Solve for x
Considering angle 45 degrees, we have:
--- cosine formula i.e. adj/hyp
Solve for y

In radical form, we have:



To solve for x, we make use of Pythagoras theorem


Substitute for y

Solve for x

The salesman earns $850 per automobile he sells.
Since x represents the amount of automobiles the salesman sells, we can apply the commission as a coefficient to this variable. Therefore, the total commission that the salesman earns can be represented by $850x.
The bonus cheque is only received if the salesman's commission income is <em>at least </em>$6,800. 'at least' means that the salesman can still receive the cheque if his commission is exactly $6,800. The sign that we can use for this situation is the greater than or equal to sign, ≥.
The inequality that shows the commission income needed for the cheque is $850x ≥ $6,800. However, this question asks for the number of automobiles the salesman must sell to get the cheque.
Divide both sides by $850, as that represents his sales from one commission:
x ≥ 8
The inequality x ≥ 8 represents the amount of automobiles the salesman will need to sell to get the bonus cheque.
Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
You will take the miles he drove and divided it by the time it took him to get there
320/8=40
I think the answer is (7x-3)(7x+3)
