In this question, you're solving for a.

Solve for a:

-8(1 - a) =-7 -(1 - 3a)

use the distributive property

-8 + 8a = -7 -(1 - 3a)

-8 + 8a = -7 - 1 + 3a

combine like terms

-8 + 8a = -8 + 3a

subtract 3a from both sides

-8 + 5a = -8

add 8 to both sides

5a = 0

divide both sides by 5

a = 0

Kara used the linear model y=45,000+ 0.05x to predict her total salary from achieving total sales of x.

hoa [83]

Answer:

45,000 is the starting salary with zero sales

.05 is the amount multiplied by the number of sales that is added to her salary

For each sale we add .05 to her salary

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 45,000 +.05x

Rewriting as

y = .05x +45,000

This is in slope intercept form ( y=mx+b) where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

.05 is the slope and 45,000 is the y intercept

45,000 is the starting salary with zero sales

.05 is the amount multiplied by the number of sales that is added to her salary

For each sale we add .05 to her salary

The mean of five numbers is 8. when another number is added the mean is 7. find the number added

sasho [114]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\sf \ \ 2 \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

The mean of five numbers is 8 so we can write

$\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5}{5}=8$

When another number is added the mean is 7, let s note x the another number we can write

$\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x}{6}=7$

From the first equation we can say

$x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5=8*5=40$

So the second equation becomes

$\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x}{6}=7\\\\ \dfrac{40+x}{6}=7\\\\40 + x = 6*7=42\\\\ x = 42-40 = 2\\$

The solution is then 2

Hope this helps
