Lenny is offered jobs at two different companies. At company A, he gets a base salary of $55,000 with manual raises of $2500. At
mel-nik [20]
Before answering these questions, we need to write out both equations.
For Job 'A', his salary would be: 55,000 + 2,500n
This assumes 'n' equals the number of years Lenny spends at these companies. 
For Job 'B', his salary would be: 62,000 + 2,000n

A.
So basically we need to find a number were:
55,000 + 2,500n = 62,000 + 2,000n
is true. So basically solve ^that^ equasion.
55,000 + 2,500n = 62,000 + 2,000n
simplify
500n = 7,000
devide
n = 14
Fourteen years is your answer.

B.
     a. 55,000 + 2,500n
     b. 62,000 + 2,000n
So in order to answer this question, you basically just have to replace 'n' with the number '20', and see which one's bigger.
a. 
55,000 + 2,500(20)
55,000 + 50,000
105,000
b.
62,000 + 2,000(20)
62,000 + 40,000
102,000
105,000 > 102,000
So your answer is:
Lenny should go to company 'a' because 105,000 is greater than 102,000.
[[tip: If you want to wow, surprise, or confuse your teacher (depending on her actual intelligence) write something like, 'another reason Lenny should choose company 'a' is because it gives higher annual raises, which is better in long-term.' He/She may not get it though, lol, wrong class.]] 

Anyway, I hope this helped! :D

For every 5 coins carmen gets ,she gives 2 to her brother Frankie.If carmen has 9 coins,howmany coins does Frankie have?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Frankie have 6 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 5 coins Carmen gets ,she gives 2 to her brother Frankie

Out of 5 coins, Carmen given 2 to her brother Frankie

So Carmen has 3 coins and Frankie has 2 coins

Ratio of coins , Frankie to Carmen is

2: 3

We need to find the number of coins Frankie has if Carmen has 9 coins

ratio of Frankie to Carmen is x : 9

Now make a proportion and solve for x

\frac{2}{3} =\frac{x}{9}

Cross multiply it

2*9 = 3*x

18 = 3x

Now divide both sides by 3

so x= 6

Frankie have 6 coins

Point A(1,9) and point B(−4,−3) are located within the coordinate plane.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The answer to your question is 13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (1, 9)

B (-4, -3)

distance = ?

Formula

distance = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2} + (y2 - y1)^{2}}

Substitution

distance = \sqrt{(-4 - 1)^{2} + (-3 - 9)^{2}}

Simplification

distance = \sqrt{(-5)^{2} + (-12)^{2}}

distance = \sqrt{25 + 144}

distance = \sqrt{169}

Result

distance = 13
