9514 1404 393

Answer:

  In step 4, Jim's answer is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

In step 1, Jim swaps the order of addends using the commutative property of addition.

In step 2, Jim uses the distributive property to factor -1 from the final two terms. (The associative property lets Jim move parentheses.)

  6.1 +(-8.5 -1.3) . . . associative property

  6.1 +(-1)(8.5 +1.3) . . . distributive property

In step 3, Jim has used the properties of real numbers to form the sum of two of them.

In step 4, Jim wrote an answer of 1.1, when the answer should have been -3.7. Jim's answer is incorrect.

__

The descriptive statements about steps 2 and 4 are both true.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

C. -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for g(x) by replacing x with each domain value in the set. Solving for g(x) will give you these numbers:

{20, 2, -4, -13}

-13 is the only value that appears in the range set and in the multiple choice solutions. Therefore, the answer is C. -13

At the start of the month, Jodie had sold 885 copies of her new book. At the end of the month, she had sold 1,364 copies of her
ozzi

Approximately $ 31419 profit is earned from selling books in entire month

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Jodie had sold 885 copies of her new book

At the end of the month, she had sold 1,364 copies of her book

We have to determine the profit earned in the entire month

From given information,

Start of month sale = 885 copies

End of month sale = 1364 copies

Total copies of books sold = Start of month sold + end of month sold

Total copies of books sold = 885 + 1364 = 2249

Also given that each book profit is $ 13.97

Profit of 1 book = $ 13.97

<em><u>Therefore for 2249 books, profit earned is given as:</u></em>

Profit of 2249 books = $ 13.97 x 2249 = 31418.53

Therefore approximately $ 31419 profit is earned from selling books in entire month
