Car dealerships claim to make most of their money from servicing cars. In a certain month, an Acura dealership sold fifteen less

used cars than twice the number of new cars. In the smae month, they serviced fifty more than twelve times the number of new cars sold. If the dealership either sold or services a total of 335 cars that month, how many new cars were sold that month? How many use? How many serviced?

Answer:

New cars sold = 20,

Used cars sold = 25

Cars serviced = 290

Step-by-step explanation:

In a month they sold fifteen less used cars than twice the number of new cars.

Lets say 'x' number of new cars were sold, then:

The number of used car sold is:

2\times x-15=2x-15

In the same month they serviced fifty more than twelve times the number of new cars sold. So the number of cars serviced is:

12\times x+50=12x+50

Altogether they sold or serviced 335 cars, so the sum of all the cars sold and serviced should be 335:

x+(2x-15)+(12x+15)=335

Solving for 'x' we get:

x+2x+12x-15+50=335

15x+35=335

15x=335-35=300

x=\frac{300}{15}=20

Therefore, the number of new cars sold in that month is 20.

Number of used car sold =2x-15=2\times 20-15=40-15=25

Number of cars serviced =12\times x+50=12\times20+50=240+50=290

We can also cross check by summing them up:

290+25+20=335

Which equation below represents a line with a slope of - 2/3 that passes through the point (-4.5 , 10)?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passes through a point, then that point is called a solution to the line's equation. Substituting the x and y values of that solution into the equation will give a true statement. So, to find out which option is correct, we can substitute the x and y values of (-4.5, 10) into each equation and see if the result is a true statement.  

Let's try this with option C. To make things easier, convert -4.5 into decimal form: -4\frac{1}{2}. Substitute -4\frac{1}{2} for x and 10 for y in the equation, then solve:  

y = -\frac{2}{3} x+7\\\\10 = -\frac{2}{3} (-4\frac{1}{2} )+7\\10 = -\frac{2}{3} (-\frac{9}{2})+7\\10 = 3+7\\10 = 10

10 does equal 10, so this is a true statement. Option C is the right answer.

Can anybody help me with this?<br> Algebra 1
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

7. f(x) = mx + b; b acts as the vertical shift moving the graph up if b is positive and down if b is negative.

f(x) = x-2 has shifted the graph of f(x) down 2 units.

g(x) = x + 7 has shifted the graph up 7 units.

If f(x) is changed to g(x) the vertical shift has gone from -2 to + 7 or (7-(-2) = 9 units up

8. f(x) = mx stretches the graph by a factor of m if m > 0 and compresses the graph by a factor of m if 0<m<1

f(x) = 3x stretches the graph by a factor of 3.

g(x) = 1/4x compresses the graph by a factor of 1/4

Is -100 rational or irational
pychu [463]

-100 is rational.

-100 can be turned into a fraction by doing the following...

Just put 1 underneath -100 and you get \frac{-100}{1}

So that means it is rational since it can be a fraction!
