Answer:

Q1:  20,000 envelopes

Q2: Savings = $700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of envelopes stuffed by each be "x"

We can create 2 equations, each for Anna and Jason, equate them and find our answer.

<u>For Anna:</u>

$14 for 400, so

14/400 = $0.035 PER ENVELOPE

Savings for Anna is  0.035x

<u>For Jason:</u>

Already has 100 (fixed)

Gets $9 for 300 envelopes, so

9/300 = $0.03 PER ENVELOPE

Savings for Jason is  100 + 0.03x

We equate and solve for x:

0.035x=100+0.03x\\0.005x=100\\x=20,000

So, For both their savings to be equal, they need to stuff 20,000 envelopes

Their savings would be:

0.035x

or 100 + 0.03x

We can plug in x = 20,000 in any one equation, the answer would be same.

So,

0.035(20,000) = $700

savings = $700

What is the solution to the inequality below x2&gt;25​
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Ans: (-5, 5)

-5 < x < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form: f(x) = x^2 - 25 < 0.

First solve x^2 - 25 = 0 --> x = +- 5

Use the algebraic method to solve f(x) < 0. Between the 2 real roots (-5) and (5), f(x) < 0, as opposite in sign to a = 1.

Answer by open interval: (-5, 5)

What are expressions? Help
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

In mathematics, an expression or mathematical expression is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed according to rules that depend on the context.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematical symbols can designate numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping to help determine order of operations, and other aspects of logical syntax. Many authors distinguish an expression from a formula, the former denoting a mathematical object, and the latter denoting a statement about mathematical objects.
