Answer:

  x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of segments is used:

  EF +FG = EG

  3x +(5x +16) = 11x -2 . . . . substitute given expressions

  8x +18 = 11x . . . . . . . . add 2

  18 = 3x . . . . . . . . subtract 8x

  6 = x . . . . . . divide by 3

The value of the variable is 6.

__

<em>Check</em>

The segment lengths are ...

  EF = 3x = 3·6 = 18

  FG = 5x+16 = 5·6 +16 = 46

  EG = 11x -2 = 11·6 -2 = 64 = 18+46 . . . answer is correct

Find the measure of the three missing angles in the parallelogram below.
elixir [45]

Answer: x = 77 degrees, y = 77 degrees, z = 103 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y and 103 are essentially same side interior angles, they must add up to 180. Therefore, y = 180-103 = 77 degrees.

Opposite angles of a paralellogram are equal.

Therefore, x = y = 77 degrees and z = 103 degrees

Examine this system of linear<br> equations.<br> y – 3x=-2,<br> y = 4
Verdich [7]

Answer:

2, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so for this you have to substitute. y=4 so you put a 4 where the y is. This becomes

4 - 3x = -2 We can already rule out (2,2) and (4,2) Why? Because the y is not a 4. So it’s gonna be either (0,4) or (2,4). Now, we have to find x. We have to isolate it. You do this by subtracting 4 from both sides.

4 - 4 - 3x = -2 - 4 Now Simplify

-3x = -6 Why -6? Because you can’t subtract a positive from a negative so it becomes -2 + -4. Since they are both negatives, you just add them together, then put the negative sign.

Now divide -3 from both sides. Which becomes

x = 2

Help please!!!!!! And explain ur answer.. I will mark as BRAINLIEST.​
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The total earning of commission on sales of 85, 000 will be:

3500+1050=4550

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Total sales earning = 85,000

As salesperson earns 5% commission the first 70,000.

\frac{5}{100}\:\times \:70\:000=3500

As the salesperson earns 7% commission on the sales over 70,000.

As 15000 is the sales earning on which he will get commission 7%.

Because

  • 85,000 - 70,000 = 15000

So the 7% earning of salesperson will on 15000 will be:

\:\frac{7}{100}\:\times \:15\:000=1050

Therefore, the total earning of commission on sales of 85, 000 will be:

3500+1050=4550
