Zach is a shoe salesman, and he works on commission. This week, there is a special incentive to sell shoes and boots by a certai
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Zach earns $10 and for the pair of boots Zach earns $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be x the number of pairs of shoes

Let be y the number of pairs of boots

Then we can establish the following system of equations with the data of the statement:

5x + 9y = 185 \\7x + 9y = 205

We subtract the second equation from the first equation to eliminate the variable y and solve for x, just like this:

7x+9y-5x-9y=205-185\\2x=20\\x=\frac{20}{2}\\x=10

For y replacing in the first equation the value of x and solving for y:

5.10 + 9y = 185\\9y=185-50\\y=\frac{135}{9}\\y=15

So for the pair of shoes Zach earns $10 and for the pair of boots Zach earns $15

What is the inverse of the equation y=x²-4, x≤ 0​
Lina20 [59]

The inverse of the equation y = x² - 4, x≤ 0​ is y = \sqrt{x + 4

<h3>How to determine the inverse of the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

y = x² - 4, x≤ 0​

Swap the x and y values

x = y² - 4

Add 4 to both sides

y² = x + 4

Take the square root of both sides

y = \sqrt{x + 4

Hence, the inverse of the equation y = x² - 4, x≤ 0​ is y = \sqrt{x + 4

A cone has a diamete of 3 inches the cone hold 12 cubic inches of water to the nearet inch what is the height of the cone
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone formula is V = (1/3)(base)(height).  Thus, 3V =(base)(ht).

We want to calculate the height of the cone.  Divide both sides of

3V =(base)(ht) by (base), obtaining   3V/(base) = ht.

Substituting 12 in^3 for V, and 2.25pi for (base), we get:

12 in^3

------------ = 5.33 in, or, to the nearest inch, 5 inches.

2.25 pi

Note:  The diameter of the cone is 3 inches.  The area of the base is pi*r^2, so we must divide d = 3 inches by 2 to obtain the radius:  1.5 in.  Then r^2 = 2.25 in^2.

Choose the property that justifies the outcomes.
balu736 [363]
It's obviously going to be a multiplication property, because multiplication is being used here.
It's not multiplicative inverses. (this is when two numbers, specifically something like 2 and 1/2, multiply to make 1)
It's also not the distributive property. An example of that would be if you had 5(3+8) and you multiplied the 5 into each term inside the parentheses to get 15+40.
The correct answer would be the associative property of multiplication<em /><em>,</em> which states that you can multiply numbers together in any order. Here, we have 5 times (3 times 8), but the parentheses can be ignored because of this property. Then we would go ahead and just do the 5 times 3 to get the 15×8.
