<h3>Answer: 13,011.11 dollars</h3>

note: remember to take the comma out or ignore it. I put it in there to help make the number more readable

===========================================

Explanation:

Let x be the value of the sale in dollars.

x-1900 represents the leftover amount that is over 1900

eg: if x = 2200, then x-1900 = 2200-1900 = 300 is the the leftover amount

taking 9% of (x-1900) leads to the expression 0.09(x-1900) and this expression must be 1000 since this is the extra amount of money the salesman needs (he already has $1000 in base pay)

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

Solve for x

0.09(x-1900) = 1000

x-1900 = 1000/0.09

x-1900 = 11,111.11111 approximately

x = 11,111.11111 + 1900

x = 13011.1111

x = 13,011.11 rounding to the nearest cent

Answer:

<h2>3. Infinitely many</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}ax+by=c\\dx+ey=f\end{array}\right\\\\(1)\\\text{if}\ a=d,\ b=e,\ c=f,\ \text{then the system of equations has infinitely many solutions}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=5\\2x-3y=5\end{array}\right\\(2)\\\text{if}\ a=d,\ b=e,\ c\neq f,\ \text{then the system of equations has no solution}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=5\\2x-3y=-5\end{array}\right$

$(3)\\\text{if}\ a\neq d\ \text{or}\ b\neq e,\ \text{then the system of equations has infinitely many solutions}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-3y=5\\2x-3y=5\end{array}\right$

$\text{We have:}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x=-10y+6&\text{add 10y to both sides}\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+10y=6&\text{divide both sides by 2}\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+5y=3\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right$

What is the supplement angle of 100?

aleksley [76]

Answer:

An angle measuring 100 degrees would be supplementary to any angle measuring 80 degrees, but it cannot be called supplementary by itself. "Complementary" and "supplementary" are terms that describe the relationship between two angles. They are comparative words like "larger."

Bill has saved $825 from his last 8 paychecks. He saved either $75 or $150 a paycheck. Formulate and solve a system of equations

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: 5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of times that he saved $75 be x.

Let the number of times that he saved $150 be y.

Therefore, based on the information given in the question, we can form an equation which will be:

x + y = 8 ...... i

75x + 150y = 825 ....... ii

From equation I,

x + y = 8

y = 8 - x....... iiii

Put equation iii into ii and this will be:

75x + 150y = 825

75x + 150(8 - x) = 825

75x + 1200 - 150x = 825

75x - 150x = 825 - 1200

-75x = -375

x = 375/75

x = 5

He saved $75 5times from his paycheck.

A blue jay lives in a nest that is 12 meters high in a tree the blue jay flies 15 meters to get from its nest to a flower on the

Ivan

Answer:

The distance between the base of the tree and the flower is 9m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have to paint a picture.

The flower is on the ground, the height of the tree is 12m.

The distance from the nest to the flower on the floor is 15m

Indisputably, what we have is a right angled triangle, with the height being 12m, the length of the hypotenuse being 15 and we are asked to calculate the adjacent which represents the distance from the base of the tree to the flower

To get this distance, we simply apply the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse(longest side of the triangle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Thus mathematically, we know that our hypotenuse is 15m and the height is 12m

The length we are to calculate is the adjacent and it is equal to;

15^2 - 12^2

= 225 - 144

= 81

The length is thus

√(81) = 9m
