Answer:

Jason sold 22/51 of the total sales and Trinity sold 29/51 of the total sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that Trinity and Jason are the only ones selling ads, we much combine their sales to find the total sales. Then we can set up a proportion for each individual and reduce their fraction.

If Trinity sold $2030 worth of ads and Jason sold $1540 then

2030 + 1540 = 3,570

Trinity and Jason have a combined total of $3,570 is sales.

Trinity's fraction then becomes

2030 / 3570

Which can be reduced to

29 / 51

Jason's fraction of sales is then

1540 / 3570

Which reduces to

22 / 51

Help with Math PLZ (Questions in screenshot)

-Dominant- [34]

1.) Let's say that the circle on the graph below represents x. The arrow is pointing to all the numbers greater than x, which happens to be on -2. If it points right, this means that x can equal to any number greater than -2. So your answer is x > -2.

2.) For inequalities such as these, you can simplify just like what you do for normal equations. Let's isolate x.

$x - 7 > 10$

--> $x > 10 + 7$

---> $x > 17$

3.) $3x \leq 21$

--> $\frac{3x}{3} \leq \frac{21}{3}$

---> $x \leq 7$

4.) $5a - 2 < 18$

--> $5a < 18 + 2$

---> $5a < 20$

----> $\frac{5a}{5} < \frac{20}{5}$

-----> $a < 4$

5.) $2t + 8 \geq -4(t + 1)$

--> $2t + 8 \geq -4t - 4$

---> $2t + 4t \geq -8 - 4$

----> $6t \geq -12$

-----> $t \geq -2$

[10] In the following given system, determine a matrix A and vector b so that the system can be represented as a matrix equation

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{158}{579}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the matrix A, took all the numeric coefficient of the variables, the first column is for x, the second column for y, the third column for z and the last column for w:

$A=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&2&2\\-7&-3&5&-8\\4&1&1&1\\3&7&-1&1\end{array}\right]$

And the vector B is formed with the solution of each equation of the system: $b=\left[\begin{array}{c}3\\-3\\6\\1\end{array}\right]$

To apply the Cramer's rule, take the matrix A and replace the column assigned to the variable that you need to solve with the vector b, in this case, that would be the second column. This new matrix is going to be called $A_{2}$ .

$A_{2}=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&3&2&2\\-7&-3&5&-8\\4&6&1&1\\3&1&-1&1\end{array}\right]$

The value of y using Cramer's rule is:

$y=\frac{det(A_{2}) }{det(A)}$

Find the value of the determinant of each matrix, and divide:

$y==\frac{\left|\begin{array}{cccc}1&3&2&2\\-7&-3&5&-8\\4&6&1&1\\3&1&-1&1\end{array}\right|}{\left|\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&2&2\\-7&-3&5&-8\\4&1&1&1\\3&7&-1&1\end{array}\right|} =\frac{158}{-579}$

$y=-\frac{158}{579}$

postnew [5]

B, the inverse is not a function, because to the x-value 0 the inverse relation orders two values: the 1 and the 5 as well.
