Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a year, we have 52 weeks.

Since he is supposed to have a new order for every two weeks, he needs 52/2 = 26 orders to break the company record.

After 28 weeks, he has got only 28/2 = 14 orders.

He is 4 orders behind. So he has done 14 - 4 = 10 orders.

The sales man needs 26 - 10 = 16 more orders .

Although 28 weeks is gone, we have 52 - 28 = 24 weeks left.

If he needs to make 16 sales in 24 weeks, the proportion is 16/24 = 2/3

He needs to make 2 sales every week to break the record

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

f(x) = 5x + 7

g(x) = 3x - 1

<u>Step 2: Find</u>

  1. Substitute in functions:                                                                                    f(g(x)) = 5(3x - 1) + 7
  2. [Distributive Property] Distribute 5:                                                                 f(g(x)) = 15x - 5 + 7
  3. [Addition] Combine like terms:                                                                        f(g(x)) = 15x + 2

The difference of two numbers is 40. Their sum is 66. Find the numbers.
Margaret [11]
First of all, x>y
x-y=40
and
x+y=66
add them equations together to eliminate

x-y=40
<u>x+y=66 +</u>
2x+0y=106

2x=106
divide by 2
x=53

sub back
x-y=40
53-y=40
minus 53 both sides
-y=-13
y=13


the numbers are 53 and 13
