First identify what each variable means. since X is the amount of hours he works, and he makes $6.50 an hour, you know you need to multiply those two numbers together creating the 6.50x. You also know Y is his total sales, and he earns 4% of Y. To find 4% of Y you need to turn the percent into a decimal, and to do this you move the decimal two spaces to the left. Since 4 is a whole number, the decimal is after the 4 so you get .04 as your decimal. Then youd multiply .04 by Y getting .04y. Lastly you add 6.50x + .04y to get E, mikes total earnings. So your final equation is
6.50x + .04y = e
Hope this all makes sense
Answer:26
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=1.25^x-2/5-10
Take log of both sides
So Y+10=1.25^x-2/5
So log to base 10 of the two sides of the equation is
Log(Y+10)=X-2/5log1.25.
To make X the subject, divide both sides by log1.25.
Log(Y+10)/log1.25=X-2/5.
Recall that Y was given to be 115
It becomes log(115 +10)/Log1.25=x-0.4
21.64=x-0.4
X=25.6
as you already know, the equation y=-7/4x-2, is already in slope-intercept form and thus its slope is the coefficient of the "x", namely -7/4.
parallel lines have the same exact slope, so a parallel line to this one will also have a slope of -7/4, and it passes through 4,2,

Answer:
Option A is correct.
The system of equation is inconsistent is;
2x+8y=6
5x+20y=2
Explanation:
* A system of equations is called an inconsistent system, if there is no solution because the lines are parallel.
* If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent .
*A dependent system of equations is when the same line is written in two different forms so that there are infinite solutions.
(A)
2x+8y=6
5x+20y=2
This is inconsistent, because as shown below in the graph of figure 1 that the lines do not intersect, so the graphs are parallel and there is no solution.
(B)
5x+4y=-14
3x+6y=6
this system of equation is Consistent because it has exactly one solution as shown below in the graph of Figure 2 and also it is independent.
(C)
x+2y=3
4x+6y=5
this system of equation is Consistent because it has exactly one solution as shown below in the graph of Figure 3.
(D)
3x-2y=2
6x-4y=4
this is a consistent system and has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent because both equations represent the same line. as shown below in the graph of Figure-4.
Therefore, the only Option A system of equation is inconsistent.
