Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total sales made in a year.

Employees at Driscoll's Electronics as a base salary plus a 20% Commission on their total sales for the year. If the base salary is $40,000, it means that if the employee makes a total sales of $x in a year, the total equation to represent earnings would be

0.2x + 40000

b) if Stewart wants to make $65,000 this year, it means that

0.2x + 40000 = 65000

0.2x = 65000 - 40000

0.2x = 25000

x = 25000/0.2

x = 125000

c) 52,000 + 0.3s = 82,000

The base salary is $52000

The percentage of commission from sales is 30%

Rewrite the equation 5x – 8y + 3 = 5x – 7y + 2 into general form (ax + by + c = 0).
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

y-1=0

Step-by-step explanation:

To rewrite the equation 5x - 8y + 3 = 5x - 7y + 2, combine like terms across the equal sign using inverse operations.

5x - 8y + 3 = 5x - 7y + 2

5x - 5x - 8y + 3 = 5x - 5x -7y + 2

-8y + 3 = -7y + 2

-y +3 = 2

-y = -1

y- 1 = 0

Find the following for the given pyramid: Slant height, lateral area, surface area, and volume. Please show all work!
jolli1 [7]
You have:
 1)The slant height is:
 Slant height=√[(8 inches)²+(8 inches)²]
 Slant height=10 inches
 2)The lateral area is:
 LA=(Perimeter)(Slant height)/2
 LA=(6 inches)(4)(10 inches)/2
 LA=120 inches²
 3)The Surface area is:
 SA=Base area+(PerimeterxSlant height/2)
 SA=(6 inches)²+(24 inchesx10 inches/2)
 SA=156 inches²
 4)The volume is:
 V=(6 inches)²(8 inches/3)
 V=96 inches³

Simplify the expression.
netineya [11]

Answer:

-6m^2 *n^2

Step-by-step explanation:

formula: (m^x)/(m^y)= m^(x-y)

apply formula for (4m^2)/(2m^-3)

=(4m^(2--3)/(2)

=4m^5/2

divide 4/2

=2m^5

next part 3n^5/(-mn)^3

3n^5/(-mn)^3

expand

=3n^5/ (-m^3*n^3)

=3n^(5-3)/ -m^3

=3n^2/ -m^3

both parts:

(2m^5* 3n^2)/ -m^3

= -(2m^5* 3n^2)/ m^3

= -(2m^(5-3)* 3n^2)/ 1

= -(2m^2* 3n^2)

= -(6m^2*n^2)

= -6m^2 *n^2
