Answer:

FG = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given:

FH = 9x + 15

GH = 5x + 4

FG = ?

From the question given above, we can say that G is the midpoint of FH. This implies that:

FH = FG + GH

With the above idea in mind, we can obtain FG as follow:

FH = 9x + 15

GH = 5x + 4

FG = ?

FH = FG + GH

9x + 15 = FG + 5x + 4

Rearrange

FG = 9x + 15 - 5x - 4

FG = 9x - 5x + 15 - 4

FG = 4x + 11

Next, we shall determine the value of x. This can be obtained as follow:

Since G is the midpoint of FH, it therefore means that FG and GH are equal i.e

FG = GH

With the above idea in mind, we can obtain the value of x as follow:

FG = 4x + 11

GH = 5x + 4

FG = GH

4x + 11 = 5x + 4

Collect like terms

11 - 4 = 5x - 4

7 = x

x = 7

Thus, we can obtain the value of FG as follow:

FG = 4x + 11

x = 7

FG = 4x + 11

FG = 4(7) + 11

FG = 28 + 11

FG = 39

***Check ***

FH = 9x + 15

x = 7

FH = 9(7) + 15 = 63 + 15 = 78

GH = 5x + 4

x = 7

GH = 5(7) + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39

FG = 4x + 11

x = 7

FG = 4(7) + 11 = 28 + 11 = 39

FH = FG + GH

FH = 78

FG = 39

GH = 39

FH = FG + GH

78 = 39 + 39

78 = 78

hjlf

Answer:

<u>Eric earned last month US$ 9,786.25</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Commission of Eric on each house sold = 5% = 0.05

House 1 $55,000

55,000 * 0.05 = $ 2,750

House 2 $105,525

105,525 * 0.05 =  $ 5,276.25

House 3 $35,200

35,200 * 0.05 = $ 1,760

Eric earned last month =  $ 2,750 +  $ 5,276.25 + $ 1,760

<u>Eric earned last month US$ 9,786.25</u>

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

1.38 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing:

x + 1 ) 3x - 1 ( 3            

          3x + 3

                -4

so (3x - 1) / (x + 1) =  3  - 4 / x+ 1

Integral  of (3  - 4 / x+1 )  = 3x - 4 ln(x + 1)

Between  limits of 1 and 2 we have:

(3(2) - 4 ln 3) - (3 - 4 ln2)

=  1.6056 - 0.2274

= 1.3782.

Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars  
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
 And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55 
 We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55 
 We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
 2y-20y=13.50-70.2
 -18y=-56.7
 y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
 
 Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
 x+5*3.15=17.55
 x+15.75=17.55
 x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
  
 Problem 4.
 Let w = number of wood bats sold
 Let m = number of metal bats sold
 
 From sales information we have: w + m = 23
 24w+30m=606 
 Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second. 
 24*(23-m)+30m=606
 552-24m+30m=606
 6m=54
 m=9 = number of metal bats sold
 Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
