Answer:

These expressions are equivalent, as both of them simplify down to (4t - 3y).

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if (8t - 3y - 4t) is equivalent to (7t + (-3t) - 3y) one must simplify each equation. Combine like terms by performing the operations between the coefficients of the variables.

8t - 3y - 4t

= 4t - 3y

7t + (-3t) - 3y

= 7t - 3t - 3y

= 4t - 3y

You have $25 to spend on picking 21 pounds of three different types of apples in an orchard. The Empire apples cost $1.40 a

Semmy [17]

Answer:

5 pounds of the Empire apples, 14 pounds of the Red Delicious apples, and 2 pounds of the Golden Delicious apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the Empire apples weight at E, the Red Delicious at R, and the Golden Delicious at G. We know that the total weight must be 21 pounds so:

R + E + G = 21 (equation 1)

The total amount of spent must be $25, and the price given is per pound, so the priced paid is the cost multiplied by the weight:

1.40*E + 1.10*R + 1.30*G = 25 (equation 2)

And the weight of the Red Delicious must be equal to twice of the combined weight of the others:

R = 2*(E + G)

E + G = R/2 (equation 3)

Let's substitute equation 3 in equation 1

R + R/2 = 21

(2R + R)/2 = 21

3R = 42

R = 14 pounds.

So, E + G = 7

G = 7 - E (equation 4)

Let's substitute the result of R and the equation 4 in the equation 2:

1.40*E + 1.10*14 + 1.30*(7 - E) = 25

1.40E + 15.40 + 9.10 - 1.30E = 25

0.10E = 25 - 24.50

0.10E = 0.50

E = 5 pounds

G = 7 - E

G = 7 - 5

G = 2 pounds.

His new employer has offered Malcom Davis a choice of profit-sharing plans. For Plan A, he can receive 1/90 of the company’s gro

Strike441 [17]

Malcom Davis earnings is an illustration of equations and proportions.

The equation is: $\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}$
The gross income must be $300000, for Dave to earn the same amount with either plan.
His earning is $3333.33 when the plans are the same.

Let the profit be P, and the gross income be G.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{P= G - 100000}$

(a) The equations

For plan A, we have:

$\mathbf{A = \frac{1}{90}G}$ ----1/90 of the company's gross income

For plan B, we have:

$\mathbf{B = \frac{1}{60}P}$ ----1/90 of the company's profit

When both are the same, we have:

$\mathbf{A= B}$

This gives

$\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}P}$

Substitute $\mathbf{P= G - 100000}$

$\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}$

Hence, the equation is: $\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}$

(b) Solve the equation in (a), and intepret

$\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}$

Cross multiply

$\mathbf{60G = 90G - 9000 000}$

Collect like terms

$\mathbf{90G - 60G = 9000 000}$

$\mathbf{30G = 9000 000}$

Divide both sides by 30

$\mathbf{G = 3000 00}$

The gross income must be $300000, for Dave to earn the same amount with either plan.

(c) His earnings based on (c)

We have:

$\mathbf{A = \frac{1}{90}G}$

Substitute $\mathbf{G = 3000 00}$

$\mathbf{A = \frac{1}{90} \times 300000}$

$\mathbf{A = 3333.33}$

His earning is $3333.33 when the plans are the same

(d) If the gross income in less than (b)

If the gross income is less than $300,000, then plan A would better for Malcom Davis, because his earnings in plan A would be greater than plan B
