$100x should be greater than or equal to $2500. X being the number of computers sold. If you divide 100 by 2500 you will know how many computers he need to sell.
$100x >(or equal to) $2500

Answer:

The inequality that describes this problem is 100x \ge 2500, and the minimum number of computers he must sell is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is no restriction on the number of computers he must sell, an inequality can help us describe the situation.

Writing the inequality.

Let x be the number of computers he sells the next month, since he receives a bonus of $100 per computer he sells the total amount he will make for x computers is

100x

And since he wants to make $2,500 in bonuses, the inequality that describes that situation is

100x \ge 2500

Solving the inequality.

In order to find the exact number of computers he must sell, we need to solve for the inequality.

100x \ge 2500

Since 100 is multiplying to x, in order to move that 100 to the other side, we need to apply the inverse operation to multiplication, which is division. We can then divide both sides by 100

\cfrac{100x}{100} \ge \cfrac{2500}{100}

So then we can simplify to get

x \ge 25

Thus the minimum number of computers he must sell is 25.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (6, -3) and<br> (-6, -5)?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an equation for a straight line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

We can calculate the slope from the two given points, (6,-3) and (-6,-5).  Slope is Rise/Run, where Rise is the change in y and Run is the change in x.

From the two given points, starting at (-6,-5) and going to (6,-3):

Rise = (-3 - (-5)) = +2

Run = (6 - (-6)) = 12

Rise/Run (slope) = 2/12 or 1/6

The equation becomes y = (1/6)x + b

We can find b by enterieng either of the two given points and solving for b.  I'll pick (6,-3):

y = (1/6)x + b

-3 = (1/6)*(6) + b

-3 = 1 + b             [Now you can see why I chose (6,-3)]

b = -4

The equation is y = (1/6)x - 4

Check this with a DESMOS graph (attached).

Identify the lateral area and surface area of a regular triangular pyramid with base edge length 6 cm and slant height 13 cm.
Law Incorporation [45]

The lateral area is 117 square centimeters and the surface area is 292.72 square centimeters

<h3>How to determine the lateral area?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Base length (b) = 6
  • Slant height (l) = 13

The lateral area is calculated using:

Lateral = 0.5 * (Perimeter of base) * Slant height

This gives

Lateral = 0.5 * (3 * 6) * 13

Evaluate

Lateral = 117

Hence, the lateral area is 117 square centimeters

<h3>How to determine the surface area?</h3>

The surface area is calculated using:

Surface = l²√3

This gives

Surface = 13² * √3

Evaluate

Surface = 292.72

Hence, the surface area is 292.72 square centimeters
