Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

- (1/2)

Discussion:

Let the "additive inverse" be x. By definition of additive inverse, x,

x + (1/2) = 0.

Subtract (1/2) from both sides to get

x + (1/2) - (1/2) = 0 - (1/2) =>

x + 0 = - (1/2) =>

x = - (1/2)

Thank you,

MrB

Esme buys jacketsfor 500 each and prices them for 700 each.If the selling price is reduced by 20%. how much profitdoes Esme make

Blababa [14]

Answer:

($) 60 is the profit per item when the selling price is reduced by 20%

Step-by-step explanation: 20% of 700 is 140.

The original profit is 700 - 500 = 200. The selling price is 140 less, Subtract 140 from 200. That leaves a profit of 60. (Not necessarily dollars, as the currency was not given in the question.)

Answer:

A system of the equation of a circle and a linear equation

A system of the equation of a parabola and a linear equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us verify our answer

A system of the equation of a circle and a linear equation

Let an equation of a circle as $x^2+ y^2 = 1$ ..........(1)

Let a liner equation Y = x ............(2)

substitute (2) in (1)

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

$x^2 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } \\x = +\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } , -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ so Y = $+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } , -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

so the two solution are ( $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } ,\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }) (-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }, -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ )

A system of the equation of a parabola and a linear equation

Let equation of Parabola be $y^2 = x$

and linear equation y = x

substitute

$x^2 = x\\x^2 - x= 0\\x(x-1) = \\x = 0 , 1$

Y = 0,1

so the two solutions will be (0,0) and (1,1)
