A law firm is going to designate associates and partners to a big new case. The daily rate charged to the client for each associate is $400 and the daily rate
for each partner is $1000. The law firm assigned a total of 13 lawyers to the
case and was able to charge the client $8800 per day for these lawyers'
services. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the
number of associates assigned to the case and the number of partners
assigned to the case. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Design an er diagram for keeping track of information about votes taken in the u.s. house of representatives during the current two-year congressional session. the database needs to keep track of each u.s. state's name (e.g., texas', new york', california') and include the region of the state (whose domain is {northeast', midwest', southeast', southwest', west'}). each congress person in the house of representatives is described by his or her name, plus the district represented, the start date when the congressperson was first elected, and the political party to which he or she belongs (whose domain is {republican', democrat', 'independent', other'}). the database keeps track of each bill (i.e., proposed law), including the bill name, the date of vote on the bill, whether the bill passed or failed (whose domain is {yes', no'}), and the sponsor (the congressperson(s) who sponsored - that is, proposed - the bill). the database also keeps track of how each congressperson voted on each bill (domain of vote attribute is {yes', no', abstain', absent'}). additional information:
