Mathematics
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

17 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 53  

y = 2x + 2

x + 2x +2 = 53

3x = 51

x = 17

so y = 2 x 17 + 2 = 36

Harper works at an electronics store as a salesperson. Harper earns a 6% commission on the total dollar amount of all phone sale
agasfer [191]

<u>Answer:</u>

The system of equations are

x + y = 2600   …….equation (1)

and, 6x + 5y = 13700  ……equation (2)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let x = amount of sales of phone;

y = amount of sales of computer

For phone, 6% of sales is 6% of x, or 6% * x = 0.06x.

Similarly for computer,

5% of y = 0.05y

Given the total sales; x + y = 2600

And commission; 0.06x + 0.05y = 137; or 6x + 5y = 13700

Therefore the system of equations are

x + y = 2600   …….equation (1)

6 x + 5 y = 13700  ……equation (2)

(3m±4/5n)2<br>solve this question<br>​
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

(3m-4/5)2  

Final result :

 (15m - 4)2

 ——————————

     52    

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

           4

Simplify   —

           5

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        4

 (3m -  —)2

        5

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

          3m     3m • 5

    3m =  ——  =  ——————

          1        5    

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3m • 5 - (4)     15m - 4

————————————  =  ———————

     5              5    

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (15m - 4)

(—————————)2

     5    

Step  3  :

Final result :

 (15m - 4)2

 ———

     52

Step-by-step explanation:

time = 49 hours

speed =  7 miles/hour

speed = distance / time

∴ distance = speed × time

= 7 × 49

= 343 miles

Please help me on this
laiz [17]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 3 and 7 are corresponding angles. When the lines defining the base of the corresponding angles are parallel (as in this case where a is parallel to b), then the angles are equal.

That's the heavy duty definition. It just means that corresponding angles in parallel lines are equal.

So if <3 = 34 degrees, then <7 = 34 degrees.
