Answer:

6x - 5 ≥ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Which inequality corresponds to the sentence "five less than the product of a number and 6 is at least 8"?

The inequality sign of

a) At least = greater than or equal to = ≥

Let us represent the number as = x

Hence: "five less than the product of a number and 6 is at least 8" can be written as:

= x × 6 - 5 ≥ 8

= 6x - 5 ≥ 8

Sara receives a 9% commission on every car she sells. The car dealership paid $20,000 for a car from an auction. The next day th

Paladinen [302]

Hey there! Your answer to this problem is 2160..

Explanantion:

Since every car Sara sells, she gets 9% of the commission, this means that at the last few step, we would have to give 9% of the total cost to Sara.

If 100% is 20,000, then 50% would be 10,000. But we have to find the cost of 20%. So what we would actually be doing is multiplying 20 with 0.01. 20x0.01 is 0.2 or 0.20.

Then you add the 4,000 to the 20,000 because it states, “the next day, they sold the car 20% more than they paid. This means that you’ll have to add it. 20,000 plus 4000 would be 24,000. So 24,000 would be the cost of the car they sold.

However they didn’t wanna know the cost of the car, they wanted to know how much Sara would get. So you would have to take 9% of the cost of the cost which would be 2,160.

Final result: $2,160

I need help with number 3 please and thank you

murzikaleks [220]

So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.

2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!

We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.

Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!

2 x 28 = 56.

So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.

The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.

Hope this helps!
If you're confused about anything leave me a reply and I'll try to explain the best that I can!

Arnie's car used 100 cups of gasoline during a drive.He paid $3.12 per gallon of gas.How much did the gas cost?

Elan Coil [88]

There are 16 cups in a gallon. Divide 100 into 16 to get 6.25. You now just multiply 3.12 by 6.25 to get 19.5. Your answer is $19.50. Hope this helps!

Find the surface area of the composite solid and round to the nearest tenth. Explain your answer.

Orlov [11]

Well, notice the composite is really just 4 triangles atop sitting on top of 4 rectangles, and all of them area stacked up at the edges.

so, for the rectangle's sides,

front and back are two 6x3 rectangles

left and right are two 6x3 rectangles

the bottom part is a 6x6 rectangle

now, we don't include the 6x6 rectangle that's touching the triangles, because that's inside area, and is not SURFACE area, so we nevermind that one.

now, the triangles are just four triangles with a base of 6, and a height of 4, in red noted there.

so, just get the area of all those rectangles and the triangles, sum them up and that's the surface area of the composite,

$\bf \stackrel{lateral~rectangles}{4(6\cdot 3)}~~+~~\stackrel{bottom~rectangle}{(6\cdot 6)}~~+~~\stackrel{triangles}{4\left( \cfrac{1}{2}(6)(4) \right)}$
