Answer: 14


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total balance in the account = $200

Also the business assistant must leave more than $50 in the supply account.

Therefore, the maximum amount he can use to order boxes= \$200-\$50=\$150..(1)

Since the assistant needs to order x boxes of pens.

Cost of each box = $10.50

Therefore, cost of x boxes=10.50 x

From (1), we have the inequality

10.50x\leq150\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq\frac{150}{10.50}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq14.285\\\Rightarrow\ x=14....\text{[since 14 is the maximum whole number less than 14.285]}

Hence, the business assistant can buy maximum 14 boxes of pens.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

a) -7 & b) -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

a) x = 0

Solution ↦

x2 - 3x - 7 \\  =  0 \times 2 - 3 \times 0 - 7 \\  =  - 7

b) x = -1

Solution ↦

x2 - 3x - 7 \\  =  - 1 \times 2 - 3 \times ( - 1) - 7 \\  =  - 2 + 3 - 7 \\  =  - 9 + 3 \\  =  - 6

Since a full circle has 360degrees and this circle only has two angles, subtract the arc of the known angle to find the arc of the unknown angle.

Angle DGF + angle DEF= 360degrees

Angle DGF + 70degrees= 360 degrees

Angle DGF = 290 degrees

The arc of the unknown angle is 290 degrees
