Answer:

x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ratio= 5:2:x

Combined ratio= 5+2+x

                        = 7+x

Total amount of money= $15000

Let us apply the part to all method

Hence for Matthew whose share = $7500

5/7+x=  7500/15000

Cross multiply we have

7500*(7+x)= 15000*5

52500+7500x= 75000

Collect like terms we have

7500x= 75000-52500

7500x=22500

x= 22500/7500

x=3

Hence the value of x= 3

Company A offers a weekly salary of $360 plus a commission of 18% on thier dollar sales volume. Company B offers a weekly salary
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: The dollar sales volume will be $4000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of sales volume for which the two offers result in the same pay.

Company A offers a weekly salary of $360 plus a commission of 18% on their dollar sales volume. This means that the total value offered by company A for x sales volume is

360 + 0.18x

Company B offers a weekly salary of $720 plus commission of 9% on their dollar sales volume. This means that the total value offered by company B for x sales volume is

720 + 0.09x

For the two offers to be the same, the sales volume would be

360 + 0.18x = 720 + 0.09x

0.18x - 0.09x = 720 - 360

0.09x = 360

x = 360/0.09

x = $4000

F(x)=2x-3 g(x)=x^2+1 find g(2)
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

g(2)=5

Step-by-step explanation:

since g(x) is equal to x^2+1, you just plug in the value of 2 for x, to get 2^2+1, and 2 to the power of 2 (also known as 2 squared) is equal to 4, which makes your equation 4+1, which equals 5.

I need help..... please answer ASAP if you know how to solve this
kvv77 [185]
For part A, The answer is that the car gets better gas mileage. We can see it from the graph that the number of gallons used is on the X axis, and the distance traveled using those number of gallons is on the Y axis. The easiest way to compare would be to look at the 1 gallon of gas. You can see that you can travel 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. The truck on the other hand will get you 18 miles per gallon. Imagine putting 1 in for X, the Y value would be 18 if you did this. The graph just shows us a visual way of saying the same thing. To determine how much farther the car with a girl on 8 gallons of gas, you would just multiply 8 by 25 for the number of miles traveled by the car. You would multiply 8 by 18 to find the number of miles traveled for the truck. The answers are 200 miles for the car and 144 miles for the truck. 200-144=56 miles farther for the car.
