If you want to know... it's 24
A=(-36). When finding variables, try multiplying the quotient and divisor to get your dividend. Also, when multiplying/dividing negative integers, if there is one negative integer, the answer will be negative. the only exception is when multiplying/dividing two negative integers, then it would be positive. -36/9=(-4)
Answer:
Slope
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The above statement
Required
What compares the steep of linear functions
Literally, steepness means slope.
So, when the slope of the two linear functions are calculated, we can make comparison between the calculated slopes to determine which of the functions is steeper or less steep.
Also:
Higher slope means steeper line
e.g.
4 is steeper than 1
Before answering these questions, we need to write out both equations.
For Job 'A', his salary would be: 55,000 + 2,500n
This assumes 'n' equals the number of years Lenny spends at these companies.
For Job 'B', his salary would be: 62,000 + 2,000n
A.
So basically we need to find a number were:
55,000 + 2,500n = 62,000 + 2,000n
is true. So basically solve ^that^ equasion.
55,000 + 2,500n = 62,000 + 2,000n
simplify
500n = 7,000
devide
n = 14
Fourteen years is your answer.
B.
a. 55,000 + 2,500n
b. 62,000 + 2,000n
So in order to answer this question, you basically just have to replace 'n' with the number '20', and see which one's bigger.
a.
55,000 + 2,500(20)
55,000 + 50,000
105,000
b.
62,000 + 2,000(20)
62,000 + 40,000
102,000
105,000 > 102,000
So your answer is:
Lenny should go to company 'a' because 105,000 is greater than 102,000.
[[tip: If you want to wow, surprise, or confuse your teacher (depending on her actual intelligence) write something like, 'another reason Lenny should choose company 'a' is because it gives higher annual raises, which is better in long-term.' He/She may not get it though, lol, wrong class.]]
Anyway, I hope this helped! :D
