Answer:

Kevin's weekly sales will have to be worth more than $4000 in order for Dollar Deal to pay more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dollar Deal offers $8/h plus 10% commission.

If he spends x hours, then offer after x hours and s amount from sales is;

8x + 10%s

This can be rewritten as; 8x + 0.1s

Now, Great Discounts offers $18/h with no commission.

Thus after 8 hours for 5 days, total number of hours = 40 hours.

Thus, great discounts offer = 18 × 40 = $720

Now, dollar deal will offer; 8(40) + 0.1s = 320 + 0.1s

Thus, for dollar deal to pay more weekly, then;

320 + 0.1s > 720

0.1s > 720 - 320

0.1s > 400

s > 400/0.1

s > 4000

Please Help Me With This Math Problem

Answer:

Yes the relationship is linear and given by:

$y+2=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x+9)$ (first option of your list)

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it is a linear expression. As we did in previous exercises, we calculate the difference between consecutive y values of the table, and write down the answers we get:

-7-(-2) = -7+2 = -5

-12-(-7) = -12 +7 = -5

-17 - (-12) = -17 + 12 = -5

We notice that all of them give "-5"

Now we evaluate the difference between consecutive x-values in a similar fashion:

-5 -(-9) = -5+9 = 4

-1-(-5) = -1+5 = 4

3-(-1) = 3+1 = 4

We see that they all give 4 as the difference.

That means that the rate of change $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{y_3-y_2}{x_3-x_2}=\frac{y_4-y_3}{x_4-x_3}=\frac{-5}{4}$

This means that the slope (rate of change) of the line is "-5/4"

We can now use the general point-slope form to write the equation of the line, using the first pair of the table as our selected point, and using "-5/4" for the slope:

$y-y_0=m\,(x-x_0)\\y-(-2)=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x-(-9))\\y+2=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x+9)$

which is the first expression listed among your possible answer choices.

Two shapes are shown below, one isosceles triangle and one rectangle. The dimensions can be represented by algebraic expressions

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Perimeter of Isosceles Triangle = 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle is given by the formula;

Area = 1/2 × base × height

From the diagram, base = 6x - 6 and height = 6x - 8

Thus,Area = 1/2 × (6x - 6) × (6x - 8)

Area = (3x - 3)(6x - 8) = 18x² - 42x + 24

Secondly, area of rectangle is given by;

Area = length x breadth

So, area of rectangle in question = (6x - 9)(3x - 2) = 18x² - 39x + 18

We are told both the area of the triangle and the rectangle are the same, so let's equate both areas;

18x² - 42x + 24 = 18x² - 39x + 18

18x² will cancel out and rearranging, we have;

24 - 18 = 42x - 39x

6 = 3x

x = 6/3

x = 2

Plugging 2 for x for the height and base of the triangle, we have;

base = 6(2) - 6 and height = 6(2) - 8

Base = 6 and height = 4

So,let's find the slant height of the isosceles triangle.

Dividing the base by 2,we have; 6/2 = 3

So,using Pythagoras theorem, let the slant height be h, so we have;

h² = 3² + 4²

h² = 9 + 16

h² = 25

h = √25

h = 5

2 slant sides of isosceles triangle are the same. So perimeter = 5 + 5 + 6 = 16 units
