Hey there!

In word problems, remember that not every number they give you is important. For example, here, they tell you that they both work 20 hours a week. This information isn't important in creating an equation to represent the situation. 

Let's say that x is the amount that Jen makes. Therefore, 2x will be the amount that Mari makes since she makes twice as much as Jen. Together, the amounts they make adds up to 480, meaning that the entire equation will be:

x + 2x = 480

All we need to do is solve this for x, plug x back into the equation, and solve. 

1x + 2x = 480 (combine 1x and 2x)
3x = 480 (divide both sides by 3)
x = 160

Now, plug 160 in for x in the original equation to check and solve for how much Mari makes (she's represented by 2x). 

160 (Jen) + 2(160) (Mari) = 480
160 (Jen) + 320 (Mari) = 480
480 (Jen + Mari) = 480

Jen makes $160 a week and Mari makes $320 a week. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Use the definitions for the sets given below to determine whether each statement is true or false:
ella [17]

Answer:

(a) false

(b) true

(c) true

(d) true

(e) false

(f) true

(g) false

(h) true

(i) true

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) 15 ⊂ A, since 15 is not a set, but an element, we cannot say of an element to be subset of a set. False

(b) {15} ⊂ A The subset {15} is a subset of A, since every element of {15}, that is 15, belongs to A.

15 ∈ {15} and 15 ∈ { x ∈ Z: x is an integer multiple of 3 } 15 is  an integer multiple of 3. since 15/3=5. True

(c)∅ ⊂ A

∅ is a subset of any set. True

(d) A ⊆ A

A is a subset of itself. True

(e)∅ ∈ B

∅ is not an element, it is a subset, so it does not belong to any set. False

(f)A is an infinite set.

Yes, there are infinite integers multiple of 3. True

(g)B is a finite set.

No, there are infinite integers that are perfect squares. False

(h)|E| = 3

The number of elements that belong to E are 3. True

(i)|E| = |F|

The number of elements that belong to F are 3. So is the number of elements of E. True

<h3>Answer: choice B) counterclockwise rotation of 90 degrees around the origin</h3>

To go from figure Q to figure Q', we rotate one of two ways

* 270 degrees clockwise

* 90 degrees counterclockwise

Since "270 clockwise" isn't listed, this means "90 counterclockwise" is the only possibility.
