Answer:

  a) the distributive property

  b) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The distributive property of multiplication over addition tells you ...

  a(b+c) = ab +ac

James has a=3, b=8, c=7, so he can fill in the values to get ...

  3(8+7) = 3·8 +3·7

Taking this one step into the evaluation, James gets ...

  3(3+7) = 3·8 +3·7 = 24 +21 . . . . . . the result James reports

___

b) Our result agrees with James' result, so we agree with James.

Mrs. Robinson, an insurance agent, earns a salary of $4,800 per year plus a 3% commission on her sales. The average price of a p
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Required inequality is 4800+183x>8000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mrs. Robinson, an insurance agent, earns a salary of $4,800 per year plus a 3% commission on her sales. The average price of a policy she sells is $6,100. Write an inequality to find how many policies Mrs. Robinson must sell to make an annual income of at least $8,000.

Calculation is given by:

Salary per year = $4,800

Average price of a policy = $6,100.

commission on her sales = 3%

Then commission on $6,100 = 3% of $6,100 = 0.03 ($6,100) = $183

Let number of policies Mrs. Robinson must sell to make an annual income of at least $8,000 = x

then total commission on x policies = 183x

Total income using x policies = 4800+183x

Since she wants to make an annual income of at least $8,000. so we can write inequality as:

4800+183x>8000

Hence required inequality is 4800+183x>8000.

Use similarity property:

14 / (14+6) = 21 / (21 + (x+4))

14/20 = 21/(x+25)       cross multiplication property

14*(x+25) = 20*21

14x + 350 = 420

14x = 70

x = 70/14 = 5.

How do you solve 6) n2+7n+15=5 by factoring?
charle [14.2K]
First, you need to set the equation equal to zero:

n^2 + 7n + 10 = 0

Now we factor. We need to find two numbers that add up to 7 and multiply to 10. 

2 + 5 = 7
2 * 5 = 10

Now, we just need to write this as a polynomial:

(n + 2) (n + 5)
is our answer. 

Hope this helps!
