Answer:

z>4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2z-3<5

add 3 to 5: -2z < 8

divide by -2: z < -4

but since you divided by a negative number, you have to change the way the inequality is facing so the answer is z>-4

A salesperson earns $450.20 per week plus 15% of her weekly sales. Which of the following describes the sales necessary for the
lapo4ka [179]
First we must construct an equation to model the problem. (In this case we will use an inequality instead) This is what I came up with:
         450.20+0.15s>=600.10

This equation shows how if her base earnings ($450.20) are added to 15% of her sales, represented by s, then the total will be greater than or equal to $600.10
Next, we simply solve for s. (steps shown below)

1) 450.20+0.15s>=600.10 (simply restating the inequality)
2) 0.15s>=149.90 (here I isolated the variable)
3)0.15s/0.15>=149.90/0.15 (Finally I solve for s by dividing both sides by 0.15, this will isolate s on the left and leave the answer on the right)
4) s>=999.33... (here I found the total sales the salesperson would need to reach his/her goal of earning a minimum of $600.10; the 3's after the decimal are repeating so in the next step I will round up to the nearest hundredth (b/c this is what money is rounded to and if I round down he/she would make less than her goal. This means i must round up.))
5) s>=999.34 (simple rounding; once again I rounded up b/c rounding down would slightly bring the total earnings to less than the goal)

<u>Therefore, the salesperson would need his/her sales to be $999.34 in order for his/her total earnings for the week to be at least $600.10</u> (greater than or equal to $600.10)

<u>Hope this helped!</u>

Some of the students three scores is 231. If the first is 20 points more than the second, and the sum of the first two is 6 more
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The first score is 109

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that in the first sentence of the question, you meant:

Sum of the students three scores is 231...

First, let the scores of the first second and third student be a, b and c respectively. We are told that:

a + b + c = 231 . . . . . . . .(1)         (sum of students three scores is 231)

a = b + 20 . . . . . . . . . . . (2)        (the first is 20 points more than the second)

a + b = 6c . . . . . . . . . . . .(3)        (sum of the first two is 6 more times the third)

required, find a.

substituting the value of (a + b) in equation (3) into equation (1), we will have the following:

since a + b = 6c . . . (3)

a + b + c = 231 . . . . . (1), becomes,

(a + b) + c = 231

(6c)  + c = 231

7c = 231 (divide both sides by 7)

c = 231 ÷ 7 = 33

∴ c = 33

Next, from equation (2), we know that a = b + 20; this can also be written as:

a - 20 = b

∴ b = a - 20 . . . . . . . (4)

Finally, putting the value of b in equation (4) and the value of c calculated above into equation 1, ( a + b + c = 231), we have the following:

a + (a - 20) + 33 = 231

(a + a) - 20 + 33 = 231

2a + 13 = 231

2a = 231 - 13 = 218

a = 218 ÷ 2 = 109

∴ a = 109

we can also calculate for 'b' by substituting for the value of 'a' in equation 4

b = a - 20 = 109 - 20 = 89.

and to test if the values of a, b and c are correct:

a + b + c = 231

109 + 89 + 33 = 231
