Answer:

  • 1440

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The equations to reflect the given:</u>

  • x + y = 2640
  • x = y + 20% ⇒ x = 1.2y

<u>Substitute the value of x into first equation and solve for y:</u>

  • 1.2y + y = 2640
  • 2.2y = 2640
  • y = 2640/2.2
  • y = 1200

<u>Find x:</u>

  • x = 2640 - 1200 = 1440

Answer:

I do not understand she question do you mean the sum of their income is 2640

if so, then the answer is 440 to be x income

Step-by-step explanation:

x income = 20% or 1/5 of y income

y income = 5 of x income

we know that the sum of their income = 2640

which means that

x + y = 2640 =

1/5y + y = 2640

6y/5 = 2640

cross multiply to give us

6y = 5(2640)

6y = 13200

divide through by 6 to give us,

6y/6 = 13200/6

y = 2200

since we know that x income is 20% y income,

therefore, x income =

20/100 * 2200

= 440

therefore,

x income = 440

y income = 2200

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Correct answer is the domain.

Step-by-step explanation:

A domain is the input set of a function.

A range is the output set of the function.

It is more  important to know the domain of the function to be able to determine the corresponding output set so the function can be graphed. To start with the domain is very useful because every domain element has a corresponding unique output element.

Suppose you started with the range element of 9. The input set for an output of 9 is {-3,3}. This makes it hard to match up the elements. This example highlights why it is important to start with the domain rather than the range.

Which expression can be used to find the volume of the sphere?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

They used 3.14 for pi:

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

V=\frac{4}{3} (3.14)(5)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 is the volume of a sphere with radius r.

I think that is the diameter given in the picture.

The radius is half the diameter.

So the radius is 5 since the diameter is 10.

Plug in this gives you:

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi (5)^3
