Answer:

The profit for January is $57,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total profit for the two months would be the result of adding up the profit in January plus the profit in February:

Total profits=Profit in January+Profit in February

Also, you can say that profits in January can be represented by x and you know that the profit for a company in February was 15% higher than it was in January which can be expressed as: 1.15x. Moreover, you know that the total profit for the two months was $122,980. Now, you can replace the values on the formula:

122,980=x+1.15x

Now, you can solve for x:

122,980=2.15x

x=122,980/2.15

x=57,200

According to this, the answer is that the profit for January is $57,200.

Pls help me help me pls ​
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Point B

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines given:

  • y= 2/5x - 1/2
  • y= -1/3x +2/3

x coordinate of intersection of given lines is:

  • 2/5x - 1/2= -1/3x+2/3
  • 2/5x+1/3x= 2/3 +1/2
  • 6/15x+5/15x= 4/6+3/6
  • 11/15x=7/6
  • x= 7*15/11*6
  • x= 35/22

For this value of x, the value of y is:

  • y= 2/5*35/22 - 1/2
  • y=14/22- 1/2
  • y= 3/22

As per graph point (35/22, 3/22) is point B

How do I solve this equation
Anestetic [448]
-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1

Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts.  First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable.  I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.

-x - y = 8      add y to each side
-x = 8 + y      divide by -1
x = -8 - y

So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation.  In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.

2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1      multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1      combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1            add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15                   divide each side by -3
y = -5

Now we have a value for y.  We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x.  I usually choose the most simple equation.

-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8            multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8                subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3                      divide each side by -1
x = -3

So our solution set is

(-3, -5)

That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
