This is a system of equations problem.  Set up the 2 equations like so: If the angles are complementary then they add up to 90, therefore, a + b = 90.  We also know that a is 16 more than b.  The word "is" means equals and "more" is addition.  Therefore, a is 16 more than b is "a = b + 16".  Now sub in that value of a (b + 16) into the first equation and solve for b.  Then back-substitute to solve for a. (b + 16) + b = 90 so 2b + 16 =  90 and 2b = 74.  So b = 37.  If b = 37, then a + 37 = 90 and a = 53.  Check yourself to make sure that 37 + 53 add up to equal 90 (they do, just get used to checking yourself for accuracy).

The figure below is a diagram of a trapezoidal table that needs to be stained. Each can of stain will cover 50 square inches.
alekssr [168]

The perimeter is the sum of the outside dimensions.

b1 = 87 - 32 - 14 - 13 = 28 in.

Area = (32 + 28) /2 x 12 = 60/2 x 12 = 30 x 12 = 360 square inches.

Divide area by the amount 1 can covers:

360 / 50 = 7.2 cans, round up to 8 cans are needed.

José and Maris work for different car dealerships. José earns a monthly salary of $3,500 plus a 8% commission on sales. Maris ea
kaheart [24]

Answer: When sales are greater than 2000 then  José's monthly earnings sre more than those of Maris.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x= Total sales

For José, monthly salary = $3,500

Commission percentage =  8% =0.08

Monthly earnings= Monthly salary + (Commission percentage) x (Total sales)

Monthly earnings= 3500 +0.08 x

For Maris, monthly salary = $3,900

Commission percentage =  6%

Monthly earnings= 3900 +0.06 x

When José's monthly earnings > Maris's monthly earnings

then, 3500 +0.08 x > 3900 +0.06 x

Subtract 3500 from both sides, we get

0.08 x > 400+0.06x

Subtract 0.06x from both sides, we get

0.02x>400

Divide both sides b 0.02

x> 20000

When sales are greater than 2000 then  José's monthly earnings sre more than those of Maris.

azamat

Answer:

(x + 7) * (3x + 1) = (3x^2 + 22x + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(3x^2 + 22x + 7) \div (x + 7) = 3x + 1

(x + 7) * (\ ) = [\ ]

Required

Complete the blanks

We have:

(3x^2 + 22x + 7) \div (x + 7) = 3x + 1

Rewrite as:

\frac{(3x^2 + 22x + 7) }{ (x + 7)} = 3x + 1

Cross multiply

(x + 7) * (3x + 1) = (3x^2 + 22x + 7)
