Answer:
3.65 through 3.74
Step-by-step explanation:
So if you distribute 4 in the first parentheses, you get 12x+20y+8z.
Then you distribute 3 in the second parentheses. You'll get 3x-3z. That all equals 12x+20y+8z+3x-3z.
Now you have to start combining numbers with the same variable. Start with x. 12x+3x is 15x.
y has no other common variable, it's left alone.
8z-3z is 5z
All together now with the numbers in simpler form, the equation is 15x+20y+5z
Jenna's would be the right answer because when you distribute 5 in her answer you get 15x+20y+5z
Answer:
$877.50
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply the value by the percentage.
19,500 x 4.5% = $877.50
This is the amount of the commission.
Step-by-step explanation:
When it says y varies directly with x it just means that y and x are proportional/equal to each other. The constant of variation and the constant of proportionality are the same thing just different way of saying it so they can confuse you and make your life miserable. Since y and x are proportional to each other and the constant of proportionalty is -5 to make an equation that represents a line you use the formula y=mx+b. That is the slope of the line. With that formula let's first plus in the x so we have y=m2+b. The formula for direct variation is y=kx as well that's good to know and it's good to memorize all these formulas. Math becaomes easier when you have the process down pat and you just need to plug numbers into different equations, expressions, and scenarios. Do m = [y1 - y2] / [x1 - x2] and you'll get the answer.
