A) Your organization gets half of the revenue after 30% is deducted. You get ...
 (1/2)×($3 - 0.30×$3) = (1/2)×$3×0.70 = $1.05 for each box of cookies

B) If the number you must sell to earn $100 is represented by n, then you have
 $1.05×n = $100
 n = 100/1.05 ≈ 95.24
To earn $100 for your local chapter, you must sell 96 boxes of cookies.

F(x)=7-2x polynomial function
monitta

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, F(x)=7-2x is a polynomial function for which the sole x term has the exponent 1 and the constant term has the exponent 0:

F(x) = -2x^1 + 7x^0    

As is true of all polynomial functions, the exponents are all positive integers (plus that of the constant term is zero).

Twice a number plus twice a second number is 310. The difference between the numbers is 55
agasfer [191]

Answer:

x = 105

y = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, try writing it out as an equation/expression first.

When you do, you should get something like this:

2x + 2y = 310

x - y = 55

This is a system of equations. To solve this, we're going to multiply the second equation [x - y = 55] by 2.

2(x - y = 55) = 2x - 2y = 110

Now, subtract your new equation from the first one [2x + 2y = 310]

2x + 2y = 310

-2x + 2y = -110

//<em>If you</em>'<em>re wondering why I changed the signs of the new equation, I multiplied our new equation [2x - 2y = 110] by -1 since we're subtracting//</em>

When you're done subtracting, the "2x" and "-2x" cancel out, so you're left with:

4y = 200

Now, simply solve for "y" by dividing both sides by 4.

4y = 200

y = 50

Now that we know y's value, substitute it into one of our original equations to solve for x.

//<em>I'm gonna plug y into the second equation [x - y = 55] just because it's easier, but you can plug it into the first one as well and get the same answer//</em>

When we plug it in, we get:

x - (50) = 55

To solve for "x," we must get rid of "-50." To do this, add 50 to both sides.

x - 50 = 55

x = 105

<u>So, x = 105 and y = 50</u>

A rectangular piece of sheet metal is 4 ft longer than it is wide. (see the illustration.) the area of the piece of sheet metal
pshichka [43]
This is the start to the approach that would be taken to get both variables in terms of only one so it can be solved but since the numbers are so small you could easily test out numbers and figure out that it's 6 and 10 feet.

length = width + 4

length * width = 60
(width + 4) * width = 60

What is the area of a rectangle with vertices at (−3, −1), (1, 3), (3, 1), and (−1, −3)?
Jobisdone [24]

Using the distance formula, the area of the rectangle is: 16 units².

<h3>What is the Area of a Rectangle?</h3>

Area of a rectangle = (length)(width).

Given the vertices:

  • A(−3, −1)
  • B(1, 3)
  • C(3, 1)
  • D(−1, −3)

Area = (AB)(BC)

Apply the distance formula, d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}, to find AB and BC:

AB = √[(1−(−3))² + (3−(−1))²]

AB = √[(4)² + (4)²]

AB = √32

BC = √[(1−3)² + (3−1)²]

BC = √[(−2)² + (2)²]

BC = √8

Area = (√32)(√8) = √256

Area = 16 units²

What should we subtract from 50/29 to get 24
Scrat [10]

Answer:

-22.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number to be subtracted from 50/29 to get 24 to be x

So this can be written as : 50/29 - x =24 ----collect like terms as

50/29 - 24 = x

1.72 -24 = x

-22.28 = x

So to check the answer;

50/29 -{x} = 24

50/29 - {- 22.28} = 24

1.72+ 22.28 = 24 ---correct.
