Levi has a job offer in which he will receive $800 per month plus a commission of 2% of the total price of the cars that he sells. At his current job, he receives $1200 per month plus a commission of 1.5% of his total sales. How much must he sell per month to make the new job a better deal than his current job? Define variables, write a system of equations, and solve.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Levi must sell more than 80000 cars per month for the new job to be better than the current job.

Step-by-step explanation:

New Job;

He receives $800 per month plus a commission of 2% or 0.02 of the total price of the cars.

Now, let the total amount he receives in a month be "y" and let the amount of cars sold be x.

Thus;

y = 800 + 0.02x - - - -(eq1)

Current Job:

He receives $1200 per month plus a commission of 1.5% or 0.015 of his total sales.

Thus;

y = 1200 + 0.015x - - - (eq2)

Substituting 800 + 0.02x for y into eq(2) gives;

800 + 0.02x = 1200 + 0.015x

0.02x - 0.015x = 1200 - 800

0.005x = 400

x = 400/0.005

x = 80000

This means Levi must sell more than 80000 cars per month for the new job to be better than the current job.

For each equation, find y when X=-3
a) y = 6x + 8
b) y = 1.5x + 11

Answers

a) y= -10.

b) y = 6.5

1.5 x -3 = -4.5. -4.5 - 11 = 6.5

Angle C and angle D are vertical angles with m angle C = -x + 26 and m angle D = 2x - 10.

What is m angle D?

Answers

Answer:

m∠D = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the vertical angle theorem, both of these angles are congruent.

This means that they are equal (m∠C = m∠D) and we can solve for x:

m∠C = m∠D

-x + 26 = 2x - 10 (substitute in the equations)

-3x + 26 = -10 (subtract 2x from both sides)

-3x = -36 (subtract 26 from both sides)

x = 12 (divide both sides by -3)

Now that we know what x is, we can find m∠D by plugging it back into the equation:

m∠D = 2x - 10

m∠D = 2(12) - 10 (substitute the value for x in)

m∠D = 24 - 10

m∠D = 14

The value of the variable 'x' will be 12. Then the measure of the angle D will be 14°.

What is an angle?

The inclination is the separation seen between planes or vectors that meet. Degrees are another way to indicate the slope. For a full rotation, the angle is 360 °.

Vertically opposite angle - When two lines intersect, then their opposite angles are equal.

Angle C and angle D are vertical angles with m∠C = -x + 26 and m∠D = 2x - 10.

∠C = ∠D

-x + 26 = 2x - 10

3x = 36

x = 12

Then the measure of the angle D will be

m∠D = 2x - 10

m∠D = 2(12) - 10

m∠D = 24 - 10

m∠D = 14°

The value of the variable 'x' will be 12. Then the measure of the angle D will be 14°.

Removing the -6 makes the average go from 4.1 to 5.2

Removing the -6 makes the median go from 4 to 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Average:

-6+3+3+3+3+5+6+6+8+10 = 41

41/10 = 4.1 (This is the mean/average)

If we remove -6, then:

3+3+3+3+5+6+6+8+10 = 47

47/9 = 5.2222 (This would be the new average)

So removing the -6 makes the average go from 4.1 to 5.2

Median:

The median of (-6+3+3+3+3+5+6+6+8+10) is between 3 and 5, so the median is 4.

Without -6, the median of (3+3+3+3+5+6+6+8+10) is 5.

So removing the -6 makes the median go from 4 to 5

Can you help me find the values of x and z?

Answers

Answer:

x = 96

z = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

x and 84 are supplementary angles.

this means that they add together to make 180.

using this, you can make the following equation:

x + 84 = 180

subtract 84 from both sides of the equation

x + 84 - 84 = 180 - 84

x = 180 - 84

x = 96

84 and 3z + 9 are vertical angles

vertical angles are equal.

using this, you can make the following equation:

84 = 3z + 9

subtract 9 from both sides of the equation

84 - 9 = 3z

75 = 3z

divide both sides of the equation by 3

75/3 = 3z/3

25 = z

Factor 3 into its prime factors

          3 = 3  

Note that 3 is a prime number, it only has itself as a factor (that is on top of the trivial factor "1")

To simplify a square root, we extract factors which are squares, i.e., factors that are raised to an even exponent.

In our case however, all the factors are only raised to the first power and this means that the square root can not be simplified

The simplified SQRT looks like this:

The function f (x) = 6x + 13 defines a
sequence for x > 1. What are the first three
terms of the sequence?

Answers

Answer:

15, 21, 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function :

f(x) = 6x + 13 ; which defines a sequence for x > 1

The first three terms of the sequence ;

x > 1 ;

Hence x = 2, 3, 4

The sequence :

f(2) = 6(2) + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15

f(3) = 6(3) + 3 = 18 + 3 = 21

f(4) = 6(4) + 3 = 24 + 3 = 27
