Complete Question
A dog weighs 2 pounds less than 3 times the weight of a cat. The dog weighs twenty two more pounds than the cat.
Write and solve an equation to find the weights of the cat and the dog.
Answer:
Weight of cat = x = 12 pounds
Weight of Dog = y = 34 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent:
Weight of cat = x
Weight of Dog = y
A dog weighs 2 pounds less than 3 times the weight of a cat.
y = 3x - 2........ Equation 1
The dog weighs twenty two more pounds than the cat
y = x + 22....... Equation 2
The equation is given as:
y = y
3x - 2 = x + 22
Collect like terms
3x - x = 22 + 2
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12 pounds
Solving for y using any of the equations:
y = 3x - 2
y = 3 × 12 - 2
y = 36 - 2
y = 34 pounds
Therefore:
Weight of cat = x = 12 pounds
Weight of Dog = y = 34 pounds
Answer:
$1125
Step-by-step explanation:
Since $15,000 is over $5000 the commission is 7.5%
Next you turn the percent into a decimal:
0.075
Now multiply $15,000 by 0.075
Answer = $1125
The answer in simplest for would be 7/8. What you basically do is multiply 7/10 by the reciprocal of 4/5 and that gives u the answer.
Answer: $8,925
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert 15% to decimals. You can do this by dividing by 100.
Now, take the total amount of the sales and multiply it by this decimal.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to simply (2√5 + 3√2)². Using formula: (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab. Let's say 2√5 = a, 3√2 = b. So,
→ (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab
→ (2√5 + 3√2)² = (2√5)² + (3√2)² + 2(2√5)(3√2)
We are aware about the fact that root means 1/2 and square of root means 2/2 that is 1. Using this we get:
→ (2√5 + 3√2)² = 4(5) + 9(2) + 2(2√5)(3√2)
Solve the brackets, to do so first put the like terms in one box.
→ (2√5 + 3√2)² = 4(5) + 9(2) + 2(2*3)(√5)(√2)
Solve the rest calculations.
→ (2√5 + 3√2)² = 20 + 18 + 2(6)(√10)
→ (2√5 + 3√2)² = 38 + 12√10
Option (a) (38 + 12√10) is the correct option.
