Mathematics

for this case we must write a proportion that shows the earnings obtained from Mrs. Miller for the sale of the house.

By making a rule of three we have:

179000 ------------> 100%

x -----------------------> 6%

Where "x" represents the gains obtained.

So:

x = \frac {6 * 179000} {100}

Writing the proportion:

\frac {x} {179000} = \frac {6} {100}

The earns were:

x = 10740

ANswer:

\frac {x} {179000} = \frac {6} {100}\\x = 10740

Answer:

$10,740

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that Mrs. Miller sells a house for $179,000. Then the cost of the house will be the 100%.

Knowing that she earns 6% of comission, you can set up the following proportion (Let be "x" the amount of money she earns), then:

\frac{\$179,000}{100}=\frac{x}{6}

Now you need to solve for "x". Therefore, you get:

 (6)(\frac{\$179,000}{100})=x

 x=\$10,740

Solve the following pairs of simultaneous equations.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

a) -4x + 5y = -9 (2)

2x + 3y = 21

Multiply the second equation by 2, you will get:

4x + 6y = 42 (1)

Use (1) plus with (2), you will get:

4x + (-4x) + 6y + 5y = -9 + 42

11y = 33

y = 33/11

y = 3

4x + 18 = 42

4x = 24

x = 6

b) 2x + 5y = -6

3x + 2y = 2

Multiply first equation by 3, you will get:

6x + 15y = -18 (1)

Multiply the second equation by 2 and you will get:

6x + 4y = 4 (2)

Subtract (1) by (2), we got:

6x -6x + 15y - 4y = -18 - 4

11y = -22

y = -22/11

y = -2

6x + 4y = 4

6x -8 = 4

6x = 12

x = 2

c) 2x - 2y = -4

5x + 4y = 17 (2)

Multiply the first euation by 2, we got:

4x - 4y = -4 (3)

Use (3) minus for (2), we get:

4x - 5x -4y + 4y = -4 - 17

-x = -21

x = 21

4x - 4y = -4

84 - 4y = -4

-4y = -4 + 84

-4y = 80

y = 80 / -4

y = -20

d) 2x - 3y = 6

4x - 5y = 9 (1)

Multiply the first equation by 2, we got:

4x - 6y = 12 (2)

Use (1) minus for (2), we got:

4x -4x - 5y - 6y = 9 -12

-11y = -3

y = -3/-11

y = 3/11

2x - 3y = 6

2x - 9/11 = 6

2x = 66/11 + 9/ 11

2x = 75/11

x = 75/11 * 1/2

x = 75 / 22

e) x/2 + y/3 = 2

x/4 + y/3 = 4

Use the first equation subtract the second equation, we got:

x/2 - x/4 + y/3 - y/3 = 2 - 4

2x/4 -x/4 = -2

x/ 4 = -2

x = -2 * 4

x = -8

x/2 + y/3 = 2

-8 / 2 + y/3 = 2

y / 3 = 2 + 4

y/3 = 6

y = 6*3

y = 18

f) x/3 + y/2 = 3/2 (1)

x/2 + y/5 = -1/2 (2)

I don't know how to solve this, sr

Hope this helped :3

Answer:

BC ≈ 8.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos36° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{BC}{11} ( multiply both sides by 11 )

11 × cos36° = BC , then

BC ≈ 8.9 ( to the nearest tenth )
