Answer:

280 dollars will be his commission

Step-by-step explanation:

So if he sells 700 dollars worth of stuff, he gets a 40% of that.

40% of that means we are multiply 40% and 700.

40% times 700

=.4 times 700

=280

What translation rule can be used to describe the result of the composition of T < 4, −10 >(x, y) and T < −1, −9 >(x
Vikki [24]

The first translation picks a point and adds 4 to its x coordinate, and subtracts 10 from the y coordinate. In other words, it moves the point 4 units to the right and 10 units down.

Similarly, the second translation subtracts 1 to the x coordinate, and subtracts 9 from the y coordinate. In other words, it moves the point 1 unit to the left and 9 units down.

So, if you perform one translation after the other, you move the point 4 units to the right and 1 unit to the left along the x axis, and 10 units down and 9 more units down along the y axis.

The net result is a translation of 3 units to the right and 19 units down.

Alexander says that 3x + 4y is equivalent to (3)(4) + xy because of any order, any grouping. Is he correct why or why not
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Alexander is incorrect because the expressions are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the expression is evaluated for any value of x, y; the result will not be same.

For instance, let assume x = 1 and y = 2

3x + 4y = 3 + 4 = 7

(3)(4) + xy = (3)(4) + (1 * 2) = 12 + 2 = 14

So, the expressions are not the same and Alexander is incorrect.

The length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters less than twice it’s width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 80 cm. What are the dim
algol [13]
<h3><u>The length is equal to 25.</u></h3><h3><u>The width is equal to 15.</u></h3>

l = 2w - 5

2l + 2w = 80

We have a value for l, so we can plug it into the second equation to solve for w.

2(2w - 5) + 2w = 80

Distributive property.

4w - 10 + 2w = 80

Combine like terms.

6w - 10 = 80

Add 10 to both sides.

6w = 90

Divide both sides by 6.

w = 15

Now that we have a value for w, we can plug it into the original equation to solve for l.

l = 2(15) - 5

l = 30 - 5

l = 25

2. You are given the hyperbolic relation modeled by xy = -2. Do the following: a) Rewrite the relation such that the dependent v
N76 [4]

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

The given equation is :

  • xy =  - 2

1. The relationship such that dependent variable (y) is isolated is :

  • y =   \dfrac{ - 2}{x}

2. The table accompanying this equation :

  • x = -4 and y = 0.5

  • x = -1 and y = 2

  • x = - 0.5 and y = 4

  • x = 0 and y = undefined

  • x = 0.5 and y = -4

  • x = 1 and y = -2

  • x = 4 and y = -0.5
