'of' means multiply

1/4 of (1/4 times ) the opposite of (-) difference of 5 and a number (5-n) is lesss than 20 (<20)

1/4 times -(5-n)<20
multiply both sides by 1/4
-(5-n)<5
multiply both sides by -1 remember to flip sign
5-n>-5
add n
5>n-5
add 5
10>n
n<10

the number is any number less than 10

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: A= s^2 <- for a square

A= 1/2*b*h <- for a triangle

A= 4^2= 16

A= 1/2*8*6 (The whole height is 8 yd)

A= 1/2*48

A= 24

24+16= 40 yd^2

"B" is the answer.

I hope this helps!

Set up an equation that can be used to solve the problem. Solve the equation and determine the desired value.

Nataly [62]

Answer: $454.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Tito's weekly salary is always $ 500 per week.

But your weekly commission income depends on the sales you make. Your commissions are 55%.

If we call x the dollar amount of all sales made by Tito in a week, then his income z(x) is given by the following equation:

$z (x) = 0.55x + 500$

We wish that $z (x) = 750$ .

Then we equate the equation to 750 and solve for the variable x.

$0.55x + 500 = 750\\\\0.55x + 500-500 = 750-500\\\\0.55x = 250$

$\frac{0.55}{0.55}x = \frac{250}{0.55}$

$x = \$\ 454.55$

Total sales made by Tito must be $454.55
