Jose works as a salesperson at an electronics store and sells phones and phone accessories. Jose earns a $9 commission for every

phone he sells and a $4 commission for every accessory he sells. On a given day, Jose made a total of $253 in commission and sold 8 more accessories than phones. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of phones sold and the number of accessories sold. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer:

Let p be the number of phones sold and a be the number of accessory sold.

9p + 4a = 253

a - p = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

He gets $9 for every phone and $4 for every accessory, so you can write this as

9p + 4a

Then he made a total of $253 do the new equation is

9p + 4a = 253

We are also given that he sold 8 more accessories than phones. So we can write this as

a = p + 8

rearrange that so that all the variables are to one side.

a - p = 8

Now you have the two equations needed to solve the for the variable. The question didn't ask me to solve for the variable so I'll leave it here.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of phones sold.

Let y represent the number of accessories sold.

Jose earns a $9 commission for every phone he sells. This means that the total commission earned for selling x phones would be

$9x

He also earns a $4 commission for every accessory he sells. This means that the total commission earned for selling y accessories would be

$4y

On a given day, Jose made a total of $253 in commission and sold 8 more accessories than phones. The equation would be

9x + 4y = 253 - - - - - - - - -1

Since he sold 8 more accessories than phones, it means that

x = y - 8 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Therefore, equations 1 and 2 can be used to determine the number of phones sold and the number of accessories sold.

Ryan is trying a low-carbohydrate diet. He would like to keep the amount of carbs consumed in grams between the levels shown in

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

$50$

Ryan would like to eat <em>more than</em> 50 carbs per day, but <em>no more than</em> 150 carbs per day.

So, Ryan's total carb intake must be <em>between </em>50 and 150 carbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

So he wants to keep his consumption of carbs between the inequalities:

$110$

So, let's solve both inequalities.

1)

$110$

Subtract 10 from both sides:

$100$

Divide both sides by 2:

$50$

2)

$2x+10$

Subtract 10 from both sides:

$2x$

Divide both sides by 2:

$x$

So, our inequality is now:

$110$

Since we solved the equations:

$50$

Written as a compound inequality, this is:

$50$

In other words, Ryan would like to eat <em>more than</em> 50 carbs per day, but <em>no more than</em> 150 carbs per day.

So, Ryan's total carb intake must be <em>between </em>50 and 150 carbs.

If line AD is a tangent to circle B at point C, and m ABC = 55°, what is the measure of BAD?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

145°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways you can get there:

1. ∠ACB is a right angle, 90°. Hence, ∠BAC is the complement of ∠ABC, so is ...

... ∠BAC = 90° -∠ABC = 90° -55° = 35°

Then, ∠BAC and ∠BAD are a linear pair, so total 180°. That makes ∠BAD the supplement of ∠BAC, so ...

... ∠BAD = 180° -35° = 145°

2. ∠BAD is the exterior angle at A for the triangle ABC. It will have a measure that is the sum of the opposite interior angles: given ∠ABC = 55° and right angle ACB = 90°.

... ∠BAD = 55° +90° = 145°

What is the y-value of sin(x) when x= -180°?

Andreyy89

In trigonometry, we start from the point (1,0), so this is the 0-degree point. Then, we start rotating counter clockwise along the unit circle.

Note that rotating 180 or -180 degrees is actually the same, because you travel half the circumference clockwise or counter clockwise. In both cases, you start from the rightmost point of the circle, (1,0), and arrive at the leftmost point, (-1,0).

Now, for every point (x,y) on the unit circle, given by a certain angle $\alpha$ , we have

$\cos(\alpha)=x,\quad \sin(\alpha)=y$

So, in this case, the angle of -180 is associated with the point (-1,0), and thus we have

$\sin(-180)=0$

Identify the term that completes the equation. AC^2 = (DC)(?)<br><br> BC<br> AD<br> BD<br> AB

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

BC

Step-by-step explanation:

the height of a right-angled triangle to the Hypotenuse is the square root of the product of the lengths of the 2 segments of the Hypotenuse.

so the square of the height is then the product of the 2 line segments of the Hypotenuse.

therefore

AC² = DC × BC

Two studies were done on the same set of data, where study I was a one-sided test and study II was a two-sided test. The p-value

mixer [17]

Answer:

$0.060$

Step-by-step explanation:

In a two tailed test the probability of occurrence is the total area under the critical range of values on both the sides of the curve (negative side and positive side)

Thus, the probability values for a two tailed test as compared to a one tailed test is given by the under given relation -

$p-value = P(Z< -\frac{\alpha }{2} )+P(Z >\frac{\alpha}{2})$ \

Here $P\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.030$

Substituting the given value in above equation, we get -

probability values for a two tailed test

= $0.030 + 0.030\\= 0.060$
