be represented by g(x)=185+0.095x. Jayden is paid $311 per week plus 8.5% of his total sales in dollars, xx, which can be represented by f(x)=311+0.085x Determine the value of xx, in dollars, that will make their weekly pay the same

Answer:

The weekly sales must be $12,600

Step-by-step explanation:

if their pay is the same, the equations have to be equal

amelia = jayden

185 +.095x = 311 +.085x

subtract  .085x from each side

185 +.095x-.085x = 311 +.085x-.085x

185+.01x = 311

subtract 185 from each side

185-185+.01x = 311-185

.01x = 126

divide by .01

.01x/.01 = 126/.01

x = 12600

How to use the distributive property to write an expression equivalent to 5x(3 4)?
Nitella [24]
I am assuming theres an addition sign between the 3 and 4.
So basically you want to multiply the 5x by both terms so it will end up being
(5x•3) + (5x•4)
Now simplify:
15x+20x
Hope this helped ^_^

7. The cost of renting the party room for 10 people is $117.50. The cost of renting the room is $151.25 for 15 people. Write an
Viktor [21]

Answer:

C = 6.75n + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the cost of renting the party room can be written in the form;

C= mn+k ......i

Where C = cost

n = number of people

Substituting the 2 cases into the equation we have,

Case 1

117.5 = 10m + k ......1

Case 2

151.25 = 15m + k .....2

Subtracting eqn 1 from 2 we have

151.25 - 117.50 = 15m - 10m

5m = 33.75

m = 33.75/5 = 6.75

Substituting m = 6.75 into eqn 1, we have

117.50 = 10(6.75) + k

k = 117.5 - 67.50

k = 50

Therefore, rewriting the eqn i, we have

C = 6.75n + 50

X + 5y = 28 2x + 3y = 21 Solve for x and y.
snow_tiger [21]
First what we gonna do is solve for y.
x+5y=28 Subtract 5y both sides.
  -5y  -5y
x=-5y+28 Then you have to replace x with the equation.
2(-5y+28)+3y=21 Multiply.
-10y+56+3y=21 Combine like terms and subtract 56 both sides. 
       -56        -56
-7y=-35 Divide -7 both sides.
y=5 Simplify.
x=-5(5)+28 Multiply and add.
x=-25+28
x=3
Heres your answer x=3 and y=5.
