Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of vehicles that the sales person sold in a month.

The sales person at the car dealership earns a monthly salary of $2400 and $250 for each vehicle sold. Let y represent the total amount he earns for selling x vehicles in a month. Therefore,

y = 250x + 2400

To determine the number of vehicles that the sales person needs to sell in a month to earn exactly $4000, we would substitute

4000 for y. It becomes

4000 = 250x + 2400

250x = 4000 - 2400 = 1600

x = 1600/250

x = 6.4

He would have to sell 7 vehicles because he cannot sell 6.4 vehicles and if he sells 6 vehicles, it would be lesser than $4000

Answer:

$m=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6m+5-3m=7(m-1)$

Combine like terms

$3m+5=7(m-1)$

Distribute the 7

$3m+5=7m-7$

Subtract 3m from each side

$4m-7=5$

Add 7 to each side

$4m=12$

Divide by 4

$m=3$

The smallest of three consecutive integers is 24 less than the sum of the two larger integers. Find the three integers.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

21, 22, 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct equations representing each piece of information.

Three consecutive integers are three numbers in a row, for example, 1, 2 and 3.

Let's let

Integer 1 = X

Integer 2 = Y

Integer 3 = Z

X = (Y + Z) - 24

We also know that

Y = X + 1

and Z = X + 2

We can now sub this information into the first equation. We do this so that we can have only one variable in the equation.

X = (X+1) + (X+2) - 24

now solve for x,

X = 2X + 3 - 24

X = 2X - 21

-X = - 21

X = 21

So, the integers are 21, 22, 23

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of "1" mi and a speed of "430" mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the ra

Anika [276]

Answer:

The rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of "1" mi and a speed of "430" mi/h passes directly over a radar station.

$z=1$

$\frac{dx}{dt}=430$

We need to find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station.

$y=2$

According to Pythagoras

$hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2$

$y^2=x^2+1^2$

$y^2=x^2+1$ .... (1)

Put z=1 and y=2, to find the value of x.

$2^2=x^2+1^2$

$4=x^2+1$

$4-1=x^2$

$3=x^2$

Taking square root both sides.

$\sqrt{3}=x$

Differentiate equation (1) with respect to t.

$2y\frac{dy}{dt}=2x\frac{dx}{dt}+0$

Divide both sides by 2.

$y\frac{dy}{dt}=x\frac{dx}{dt}$

Put $x=\sqrt{3}$ , y=2, $\frac{dx}{dt}=430$ in the above equation.

$2\frac{dy}{dt}=\sqrt{3}(430)$

Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{\sqrt{3}(430)}{2}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=372.390923627$

$\frac{dy}{dt}\approx 372$

Therefore the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.
