Answer:
+$90;
$1,600
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation, 
, given to us tells us much about the situation described above.
y = total pay
x = number of copies of Math is fun
1600 = y-intercept, that is the starting value or the pay he gets only if Sam sold 0 copy of Math is fun. That is, when x = 0, y = 1,600.
90 = unit rate or the change in the total pay for each copy of Math is fun that Sam sells.
Therefore, our answers would be:
+$90, and $1,600
To find equivalent inequalities you have to work the inequality given.
The first step is transpose on of sides to have an expression in one side and zero in the other side:
x - 6 x + 7
--------- ≥ --------
x + 5 x + 3
=>
x - 6 x + 7
--------- - -------- ≥ 0
x + 5 x + 3
=>
(x - 6) (x + 3) - (x + 7) (x + 5)
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
=>
x^2 - 3x - 18 - x^2 - 12x - 35
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
15x + 53
- ------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
That is an equivalent inequality. Sure you can arrange it to find many other equivalent inequalities. That is why you should include the list of choices. Anyway from this point it should be pretty straigth to arrange the terms until making the equivalent as per the options.
It is a bit tedious to write 6 equations, but it is a straightforward process to substitute the given point values into the form provided.
For segment ab. (x1, y1) = (1, 1); (x2, y2) = (3, 4).
... x = 1 + t(3-1)
... y = 1 + t(4-1)
ab = {x=1+2t, y=1+3t}
For segment bc. (x1, y1) = (3, 4); (x2, y2) = (1, 7).
... x = 3 + t(1-3)
... y = 4 + t(7-4)
bc = {x=3-2t, y=4+3t}
For segment ca. (x1, y1) = (1, 7); (x2, y2) = (1, 1).
... x = 1 + t(1-1)
... y = 7 + t(1-7)
ca = {x=1, y=7-6t}
Each of the members must raise at least $69.46.
To start they need to raise $552.50. However, they have already raised 12% of it. They only need to raise 88% of it.
552.50 x 0.88 = 486.2
Divide the remaining amount by 7 to determine how much each individual must raise.
486.2 / 7 = 69.46
