To get that number in the problem, you need to translate first the word problem into mathematical expression.

We will let x as the number.
six more than the product of a number and -2 is greater than 10 can be written as  (-2x) + 6 > 10
We will now solve for x to get the number.
         (-2x) + 6 > 10
Add -6 to both sides of the equation
      -2x + 6 - 6 > 10 - 6
                  -2x > 4
Divide both sides of the equation with -2
Take note that if we divide a negative number in inequality, the inequality symbol will be change from greater than to less or from less than to greater than.
             -2x / -2< 4 / -2
                     x < -2

Therefore, the number that we are looking for is less than -2.

Imagine you have some workers and some handheld computers that you can use to take inventory at a warehouse. There are diminishi
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

a. $1.03

b. $0.93

c. 0.98

d. 2 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given that:

  • 1 computer : 1 worker : inventory 150 items per hour
  • 1 computer : 2 workers : inventory 200 items per hour
  • 1 computer : 3 workers : inventory 220 items per hour
  • 1 computer : 4+ workers : fewer than 235 items per hour
  • Cost: $100 per computer ; $25 per worker

The fixed production factor in the warehouse is the computer used:

-One computer used, but the number of users is varied to inventory a specified number of items.

-The variable production factor is the number of workers assigned per one computer.

#The cost of inventorying a single item by one worker is:

Cost=\frac{C_{pc}+Wage}{Items} \ , C_{pc}=\$125\\\\Cost_1=\frac{125+30}{150}\\\\\\=1.03

Hence, the cost of inventorying a single item is $1.03

b. Using the information provided above, the cost of inventorying a single item when two workers are assigned is :

Cost=\frac{C_{pc}+Wage}{Items} \ , C_{pc}=\$125\\\\Cost_2=\frac{125+2\times30}{200}\\\\\\=0.925

Hence, the cost of inventorying a single item is $0.93

c.Using the information provided above, the cost of inventorying a single item when three workers are assigned is :

Cost=\frac{C_{pc}+Wage}{Items} \ , C_{pc}=\$125\\\\Cost_3=\frac{125+3\times30}{220}\\\\\\=0.98

Hence, the cost of inventorying a single item is $0.98

d. To determine the most cost-effective job assignment, we calculate the cost of 4+ workers.

Take any number less than 235(say 234) as the inventory units:

Cost=\frac{C_{pc}+Wage}{Items} \ , C_{pc}=\$125\\\\Cost_4=\frac{125+4\times30}{234}\\\\\\=1.05

From our calculations, it's clear that two workers per computer costs the least amount($0.93) per unit item. Hence, it is best to assign two workers per computer.

What is the least common multiple? (6 and 12)​
quester [9]

Answer:Least common multiple ( LCM ) of 6 and 12 is 12. LCM(6,12) = 12. Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in two way; with the LCM formula calculation of greatest common factor (GCF), or multiplying the prime factors with the highest exponent factor.

P(5,3); y=4x<br><br>if you help me I will be thankful forever pls
horrorfan [7]
Y= -1/4x + 4.25, perdendicular then it must be the opposite of 4x which is -1/4. Then you multiply it with 5 and then add or subtract a number so you can find 3. So -1/4× 5 + 4.25= 3. Here you gooo!

East of Star, the railroad tracks intersect highway 23o as shown above. If 1=133 , find 2.
GrogVix [38]
Hi there.

These two angles sum up to be 180 degrees, so they are supplementary angles. Now, since these angles sum up to 180 degrees (to form a straight line), we only have to subtract 133 from 180 to find angle 2's measurement.

180 - 133 = 47

Angle 2's measurement is 47 degrees.

Voila! 

I hope this helps! Have a great day. :)
