Hello!
A negative number divided by a negative number is a positive number. If our problem contains an odd number of negatives, it is negative.
Therefore, our correct answer is D. -3/-2 (which is 6).
I hope this helps!
Company A has a sales position with a yearly salary of $42,000. Company B has a similar sales position with a slary of $39,000 plus 1% conmission on yearly sales.
Let x be the amount of yearly sales
Company A has a sales position with a yearly salary of $42,000.
yearly salary = 42,000
Company B has a similar sales position with a salary of $39,000 plus 1% commission on yearly sales.
1% is 0.01
yearly salary = 39,000+ 0.01x
yearly sales is the salary at company A greater than the salary and conmission at company B
A > B
42000 > 39000+ 0.01x
We solve the inequality
39000+ 0.01x < 42000
Subtract 39000 on both sides
0.01x < 3000
divide by 0.01
x> 300,000
For yearly sales > $300,000, the salary at company A greater than the salary and commission at company B
<h3>Answer: Choice B) 8.57</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
The triangles are similar through the AA (angle angle) similarity rule. Note how the angle markers correspond and match up. Example: angle C and angle F both have triple angle markers to indicate these angles are congruent.
The corresponding sides pair up to form equal fractions. AB and DE form AB/DE which is equal to AC/DF, as these two sides correspond as well.
Therefore: AB/DE = AC/DF
Let's plug in the given values and isolate x
AB/DE = AC/DF
11/7 = (15+x)/15 ...... substitution
11*15 = 7*(15+x) ....... cross multiply
11*15 = 7*15+7*x ...... distribute
165 = 105+7x
165-105 = 105+7x-105 ..... subtract 105 from both sides
60 = 7x
7x = 60
7x/7 = 60/7 ............ divide both sides by 7
x = 8.57142857142858
x = 8.57 ..... rounding to the nearest hundredth
Y doesn't change so it stays 3.
x will be 0, because the average of 0 and -2 is -1
