What is the sum of x^2 - 3x + 7 and 3x^2 + 5x - 9

Dmitrij [34]

Hey there!

The answer to your question is $4x^2+2x-2$

Given:

$x^2-3x+7$ $and$ $3x^2 +5x-9$

First, we can start by adding like terms. The following are like terms:

$x^2$ $and$ $3x^2$

$-3x$ $and$ $5x$

$7$ $and$ $-9$

Now, we can add these pairs together, giving us:

$4x^2$

$2x$

$-2$

Now, add all this together, and we get our answer as:

$4x^2 + 2x - 2$

Have a terrificly amazing day!

What is the correct order of steps for bisecting angle ABC?

Marizza181 [45]

The correct order for bisecting angle ABC is F D E B C A. Option D

<h3>Steps in bisecting angles</h3>

The steps involved in bisecting angles are;

Place compass point on the vertex of the angle (point B).
Stretch the compass to any length that will stay OF the angle
Swing an arc so the pencil crosses both sides (rays) of the given angle. You should now have two intersection points with the sides (rays) of the angle
Place the compass point on one of these new intersection points on the sides of the angle. Stretch the compass to a sufficient length to place your pencil well into the interior of the angle, this should be within the rays of the angle
Place an arc in this interior
Without changing the span on the compass, place the point of the compass on the other intersection point on the side of the angle and make a similar arc. The two small arcs in the interior of the angle should be intersecting
Connect the vertex of the angle (point B) to this intersection of the two small arcs

From the listed steps, the correct order for bisecting angle ABC is F D E B C A. Option D

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

$12500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Salary plan 1:

Weekly salary of $500.

And a commission of 4%.

Salary plan 2:

Straight commission of 8%.

To find:

Weekly sales for which both the plans will make the same sales?

Solution:

Let the weekly sales = $ $x$

As per question statement:

Salary as per Plan 1 = $500 + 4% of $x$

Salary as per Plan 2 = 8% of $x$

Putting both the salaries to equal to find the total weekly sales.

$500 + 4% of $x$ = 8% of $x$

$\Rightarrow 500 = 4\%\ of\ x\\\Rightarrow 500 = \dfrac{4}{100}x\\\Rightarrow x = \$12500$

Therefore, the answer is:

For the sales of $12500, the salary will be same from both the plans.
