Steve sells vacuum cleaners door to door. He earns a base salary of $500 plus $100 for every vacuum cleaner he sells. Steve also

works selling encyclopedias door to door. He makes $300 plus $200 for every set of encyclopedias he sells.

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of items Steve sells

Let y = salary earned

Create two equations:

Vacuum sales:  y = 500 + 100x

Encyclopedia sales: y = 300 + 200x

Equal the equations and solve for x to find the number of items Steve needs to sell for the two salaries to be the same:

500 + 100x = 300 + 200x

Subtract 300 from both sides:  200 + 100x = 200x

Subtract 100x from both sides: 200 = 100x

Divide both sides by 100:  2 = x

Therefore, Steve would have to sell 2 items for the two salaries to be the same.

Answer: 04 items (02 each)

Step-by-step explanation:
Steve's base salary is $500 and $300 respectively for selling vacuum cleaner and encyclopedia. Along with that his bonus is $100 and $200 respectively. If he sells 02 items each, his earnings would be as follows:
For 02 vacuum cleaner: 500+100+100
= $700
For 02 encyclopedia: 300+200+200
= $700

Thirty pounds of grass seed will cover 1\3 of an acre. Which unit rate describes this situation?
erik [133]
As always, the "unit rate" can be written two ways. You have not specified which one you want.

.. (30 lb)/(1/3 ac) = 90 lb/ac

.. (1/3 ac)/(30 lb) = (1/90) ac/lb

let x1,x2, and x3 be linearly independent vectors in R^(n) and let y1=x2+x1; y2=x3+x2; y3=x3+x1. are y1,y2,and y3 linearly indep
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

x_1,x_2 and x_3 are linearly independent.

By definition of linear independent there exits three scalar a_1,a_2 and a_3 such that

a_1x_1+a_2x_2+a_3x_3=0

Where a_1=a_2=a_3=0

y_1=x_2+x_1,y_2=x_3+x_2,y_3=x_3+x_1

We have to prove that y_1,y_2 and y_3 are linearly independent.

Let b_1,b_2 and b_3 such that

b_1y_1+b_2y_2+b_3y_3=0

b_1(x_2+x_1)+b_2(x_3+x_2)+b_3(x_3+x_1)=0

b_1x_2+b_1x_1+b_2x_3+b_2x_2+b_3x_3+b_3x_1=0

(b_1+b_3)x_1+(b_2+b_1)x_2+(b_2+b_3)x_3=0

b_1+b_3=0

b_1=-b_3...(1)

b_1+b_2=0

b_1=-b_2..(2)

b_2+b_3=0

b_2=-b_3..(3)

Because x_1,x_2 and x_3 are linearly independent.

From equation (1) and (3)

b_1=b_2...(4)

Adding equation (2) and (4)

2b_1==0

b_1=0

From equation (1) and (2)

b_3=0,b_2=0,b_3=0

Hence, y_1,y_2 and y_3 area linearly independent.

Eighty-five more than the square of a number is the same as the square of the quantity that is 17 less than the number. What is
mario62 [17]
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
  x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
           -85                       -85
_______________________
      x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204                    
     +34x         +34x
_______________________
 x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2             -x^2
____________________
       34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
      x = 6.
The number is 6.
