Asalesman used three types of order forms: a, b, c. he used 40 of form a. of form b he used four times as many as form a plus 1/2 as many as form c. he used as many of form c as form a plus 1/2 as many as form b. altogether, how many forms did he use? a. 440 b. 200 c. 250 d. 320 e. 500

a. 440

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided allows us to set up the following system of linear equations:

We already have the value for A, solving the system gives us the values for B and C:

The total number of forms used is:

He used 440 forms.

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
