Answer:

? = 4.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Let  x be the question mark. You get the proportionality by using the dimensions of the little triangle to the dimensions of the large triangle.

Equation

14/(14+ 4) = 15/(x + 15)                   Combine like terms on the left

14/18 = 15/(x + 15)                          Cross multiply

14*(x + 15) = 18 * 15                        Simplify the right

14(x + 15) = 270                             Divide by 14

x + 15 = 270 / 14

x + 15 = 19.29                               Subtract 15 from both sides

x = 19.29 - 15

x = 4.29

A wholesaler requires a minimum of 4 items in each order from its retail customers. The manager of one retail store is consideri
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

  • It is the last graph: solid line, shaded area over the line x = 2 - x/2

Explanation:

1) <u>Set the algebraigic expression that represents the combinations of sofa and pillow orders:</u>

  • Number of sofas: x (given)
  • Number of pillows: 2y (given, since they come in pairs)
  • Number of items = number of sofas + number of pillows = x + 2y
  • Minimum of 4 items in each order (given) ⇒ x + 2y ≥ 4

<u>2) Predict the graph of the inequality x + 2y ≥ 4</u>

  • The border line is the equation x + 2y = 4
  • You can choose two points to draw a line
  • Choose the axis-intercepst:

        x = 0 ⇒ 2y = 4 ⇒ y =4/2 ⇒ y = 2 ⇒ point (0,2)

        y = 0 ⇒ x = 4 ⇒ point (4,0)

        Then the lines goes through (0,2) and (4,0) ... [the four graphs meet this]

  • The shading area is above the line because when you solve for y you get y ≥   2 - x/2, and the line is included because the "equal to" part of the symbol (≥ means greater than or equal to).

  •  To state that the line is included the graph uses a continous line instead of a dotted one.

<u>3) Conclusion:</u>

That means that the correct graph is the last one: solid line, shaded area over the line y = 2 - x/2.

Note: a more detailed graph would include the fact that the items cannot be negative, i.e. x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0, which would result in that the shaded area would be on the first quadrant.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

211

Step-by-step explanation:

As the statement indicates that on each of the 22 work days of the month the employees of the company received a communication and 4642 communications were sent, to be able to determine the number of employees that the company have, you have to divide the number of communications by the number of days:

4642/22= 211

The company has 211 employees.
