Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Factor left side of equation.
(c+1)(c+9)=0
Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.
c+1=0 or c+9=0
c=−1 or c=−9
C= -1 OR C= -9
Answer:
y-intercept = 275
x-intercept = 125
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept is the point on your line where x=0. On this line, the y-intercept is the point (0,275) (x,y)
The x-intercept is the point on your line where y=0. On this line, the x-intercept is the point (125,0) (x,y)
-4/4 can be reduced to -2.
(-8/4) can be reduced to -1.
What you have to do next is to add -1-(-2).
The final answer is 1.
Hope that helps!!!.
Answer:
$110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a, b, and c represent the earnings of Alan, Bob, and Charles. The problem statement tells us ...
a + b + c = 480 . . . . . . the combined total of their earnings
-a + b = 40 . . . . . . . . . . Bob earned 40 more than Alan
2a - c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . Charles earned twice as much as Alan
Adding the first and third equations, we get ...
(a + b + c) + (2a - c) = (480) + (0)
3a + b = 480
Subtracting the second equation gives ...
(3a +b) - (-a +b) = (480) -(40)
4a = 440 . . . . . . . . simplify
a = 110 . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a
Alan earned $110.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Bob earned $40 more, so $150. Charles earned twice as much, so $220.
The total is then $110 +150 +220 = $480 . . . . as required
