Answer:

Steven's base pay.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 0 for the y-intercept.

y = 0.1x + 20,000

y = 0.1(0) + 20,000

y = 20,000

The y-intercept represents Steven's base pay.

The sum of twice a number and another number is 24. The difference of twice the first number and the other number is 12. Which s
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The system that models the situation is:

\left \{{{2x + y = 24} \atop {2x - y = 12}} \right.

The solution is:

(9, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We must write the equations as indicated in the problem.

The sum of twice a number and another number is 24

<em>a number:</em>  x

<em>other number:</em>  y

Then

2x + y = 24

The difference of twice the first number and the other number is 12

<em>first number: </em> x

<em>other number:</em>  y

Then:

2x - y = 12

The system that models the situation is:

\left \{{{2x + y = 24} \atop {2x - y = 12}} \right.

To solve the system we add both equations to find the value of x

2x + y = 24\\\\2x - y = 12

---------------------

4x +0 = 36\\\\x=\frac{36}{4}\\\\x=9

2(9) +y = 24\\\\y=24-18\\\\y=6

The solution is:

(9, 6)

Cora takes a sheet of paper and cuts from one corner to the opposite corner, making two triangles. If the piece of paper is 15 i
Bogdan [553]
Answer: 17 inches

Explanation: so we have a triangle with the two side lengths 8 and 15 and we’re trying to find the hypotenuse. so using the pythagorean theorem, we have 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2. when we solve we get 64 + 225 = c^2, which is 289 = c^2. next, we find the square root of both sides and c = 17 inches.

hope this helped!
