Answer:

Y=3X-38

Step-by-step explanation:

X = Anna spent

Y = Florence spent

Florence spent = Y

$38 less than = -38

3 times Anna spent = 3X

Put it all together

Y=3X-38

Wilcox, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors, owned 60 percent of the shares of Sterling Corporation.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Sterling Corporation

a. Arguments to support the minority shareholders' claim include:

1. If there is a provision to this effect in the Shareholders' agreement,

2. If the minority shareholders can prove that Wilcox oppressed the minority shareholders by selling off his shares in the corporation, and

3. If the Shareholders' agreement forbids Wilcox from selling off his shareholdings.

b. The arguments to reject the minority shareholders' claim include:

1. As the majority shareholder, Wilcox dictates the direction of firm until the sale-off.

2. Wilcox is within his rights to sell his shares to Conrad.

3. Wilcox does not oppress the minority shareholders with the sale to Conrad.

c. Wilcox should prevail. Apparently, he did not act illegally or contrary to agreement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shareholding of Wilcox (chief executive officer and chairman of the BOD) = 60%, which is > 50%.

Shareholding of Minority shareholders = 40%, which is <50%

Market price per share of Sterling Corporation = $22

Selling price of Wilcox's shares = $29

Excess of the market price = $7 ($29 - $22)

A triangle has one side of length 29 units and another of length 40 units. Determine the range in which the length of the third

Vlada [557]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem tells us that if two sides of a triangle are known (let it be side a and b), we can know the length of range of third side (side c). By:

a-b< c < a+b

So sides are given 29 and 40.

Sum is 29 + 40 = 69

Difference is 40 - 29 = 11

Hence, the third side would be BETWEEN 11 and 69

C is the correct choice.

Use synthetic division to find the quotient and the remainder for the problem: (12x^4 + 5^3 + 3x^2 - 5)/(x+1)?,

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Step 1 : Setting up the problem

Write the coefficients of the dividend in the same order. For missing terms, enter the co-efficient as zero. Set the divisor equal to zero and use that number in the division box.

The problem now looks as follows:

-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5

Step 2 : Bring down the first co-efficient and write it in the bottom row.

-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5
______________________ 12

Step 3 : Multiply the first coefficient with the divisor and enter the value below
the next co-efficient. Add the two and write the value in the bottom row.

-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5
_____-12_______________ 12 -7

Step 4 : Repeat Step 3 for rest of the coefficients as well:

-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5
____________7 ___________ 12 -7 10

-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5 ______________ -10______ 12 -7 10 -10
-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5 ____________________ 10_ 12 -7 10 -10 5
The last row now represents the quotient coefficients and the remainder. Co-efficients of Quotient are written one power less than their original power and the remainder is written as a fraction.

Answer :12x^3-7x^2+10x-10+5/(x+1) where the last term denotes the remainder and the rest is the quotient.

Four pounds of apples cost $4.80. if Mary buys 6 pounds at that same rate, home will she pay

AlekseyPX

You have to find out how much is it per Apple, to do that you divide 4 by $4.80 which is 0.8333...
Then you have to multiply that number by 2 which is 1.6666..
You multiply by 2 because if one pound is .83 and you need two more pounds to equal 6.
4.80+1.67=$6.47

Rebecca must complete 15 hours of volunteer work. She does 3 hours each day. Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form to

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

y = 15 hour - 3 hours/day x days

y = 15 - 3x

y-intercept = 15 - 3(0)= 15 which is the amount of volunteer hours she must complete at day 0.

0 = 15 - 3x

3x = 15

x = 5 (Number of days she would have to volunteer)

Equation: y = 15- 3x
