Answer:
I got x=15, Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
Not a function because input has two outputs. 9 goes to two different numbers which make it not a function
There are two cases to consider.
A) The removed square is in an odd-numbered column (and row). In this case, the board is divided by that column and row into parts with an even number of columns, which can always be tiled by dominos, and the column the square is in, which has an even number of remaining squares that can also be tiled by dominos.
B) The removed square is in an even-numbered column (and row). In this case, the top row to the left of that column (including that column) can be tiled by dominos, as can the bottom row to the right of that column (including that column). The remaining untiled sections of the board have even numbers of rows, so can be tiled by dominos.
_____
Perhaps the shorter answer is that in an odd-sized board, the corner squares are the ones that there is one of in excess. Cutting out one that is of that color leaves an even number of squares, and equal numbers of each color. Such a board seems like it <em>ought</em> to be able to be tiled by dominos, but the above shows there is actually an algorithm for doing so.
Answer:
$20,000
Step-by-step explanation:
You can quickly figure this by recognizing that the difference in commission must be the same as the base salary:
2.5%(car price) = $500
car price = $500/0.025 = $20,000
__
If you prefer, you can get there with equations.
At Job 1, the pay is ...
y = 10%×(car price)
At Job 2, the pay is ...
y = 7.5%×(car price)
Setting the equal (the two opportunities pay the same), we have ...
0.10(car price) = 500 +0.075(car price)
0.025(car price) = 500 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.075(car price)
car price = 500/0.025 = 20,000 . . . . divide by 0.025
Jim would have to sell a $20,000 car each week for the jobs to pay the same.
C
6*3=18
6*8= 48 and 3*8=24
24*48= 1152
1152/18=64
