So the three numbers can be turned into fractions.

1/5, 1/4, and 4/20.

fractions can be turned into decimals by dividing the denominator into the numerator.

now we have 0.2 , 0.25 , and 0.2

greatest to least, the numbers are 0.25 , 0.2 , and 0.2

(both 0.2s are equal, so order of those doesn't matter)

Line q passes through (−5, 5) and is parallel to the line 2x + y + 1 = 0.

Fed [463]

Parallel lines has equal slopes.
Equation of the line 2x + y + 1 = 0 in slope intercept form is y = -2x - 1 with slope of -2. Therefore, the slope is -2.

A car salesman receives a base weekly salary of $150 plus a commission of $325 per car sold. What is the equation that models th

Temka [501]

Given :

Weekly salary , S = $150.

Commission per car , C = $325.

To Find :

The the equation that models the weekly salary of a car salesman.

Solution :

We know it is a quadratic equation :

Let , the equation is , y = mx + c

Here, x is number of car sold in a week.

For x = 0 ( He will not get commission)

So , Salary is $150 = c .

For x = 1

Salary is $( 150 + 325 ) = $475 = m(1) + c

Therefore , m = $325 and c = $150.

Required linear equation is y = 325x + 150.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A sequence of 7 numbers starts with 8. The second number in the sequence is unknown and may be positive or negative. The third t

scoray [572]

Answer:

Explanation:

$a_1=8,a_7=0$

Since the third term is the sum of the two previous terms

$a_3=a_2+a_1$

$a_7=a_6+a_5$

$a_7=a_5+a_4+a_4+a_3$

Continuing in like manner

$a_7=5a_3+3a_2$

Since $a_3=a_2+a_1$

$a_7=5(a_2+a_1+3a_2$

$a_7=5a_2+5a_1+3a_2$

$a_7=8a_2+5a_1$

Recall: $a_1=8,a_7=0$

$0=8a_2+5*8$

$8a_2=-40$

$a_2=-5$

The sequence is therefore:

8,-5,3,-2,1,-1,0

The sum of the seven numbers is 4.

Rewrite! Write an new and equivalent equation that is easier to solve

Marysya12 [62]

$\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}$

Given - an equation in a standard form

To do - simplify the equation so as to obtain an easier one

Since the equation provided isn't in it's general form , let's first convert it ~

General form of a Linear equation -

$\bold{ax + b = 0}$

The equation after getting converted will be as follows ~

$- 7 + ( \frac{4x + 2}{2} ) = 8 \\ \\ \implies \: \frac{ - 14 + 4x + 2}{2} = 8 \\ \\ \implies \: - 14 + 4x + 2 = 16 \\ \\ \implies \: 4x = 16 + 14 - 2 \\ \\ \implies \: 4x = 28 \\ \\\bold{ General \: form \: \dashrightarrow \: 4x - 28 = 0}$

hope helpful ~
