Answer:

$12.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the original rate of pay as being 100%.

If your rate is increasing by 7%, it will now be 107% of the original rate (since 100% + 7% = 107%)

To find 107% of $11.50, convert 107% into a decimal

⇒ 107% = 107/100 = 1.07

then multiply this by the original rate to get the new increased rate:

⇒ $11.50 × 1.07 = $12.305

Rounding this to the nearest hundred = $12.31

Alternatively, you can find 7% of $11.50 and then add this to $11.50.

⇒ 7% = 7/100 = 0.07

Therefore, 7% of $11.50 = 0.07 × $11.50 = $0.805

Add this to the original rate:

$11.50 + $0.805 = $12.305

Rounding this to the nearest hundred = $12.31

How do you simplify -5x-x+14x-3x

jolli1 [7]

You'd have no problem simplifying that expression if it said

-(5 cows) - (1 cow) + ( 14 cows) - (3 cows) .

You'd just add up the cows, and simplify the expression to say

5 cows .

When you see an expression that talks about 'x's instead of cows,
you get scared. It has something to do with algebra and math and
all that stuff, so you freeze.

Relax. Just make each 'x' a cow, and suddenly it almost solves itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Continuous at x = 2

$\displaystyle f(x) = \left \{ {{2x^2 \ if \ x < 2} \atop {x + k \ if \ x \geq 2}} \right.$

Step 2: Solve for k

Definition of Continuity: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 2^+} 2x^2 = \lim_{x \to 2^-} x + k$
Evaluate limits: $\displaystyle 2(2)^2 = 2 + k$
Evaluate exponents: $\displaystyle 2(4) = 2 + k$
Multiply: $\displaystyle 8 = 2 + k$
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides: $\displaystyle 6 = k$
Rewrite: $\displaystyle k = 6$

100 BRAINLY POINTS!!!

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

C) $y=-0.5x+8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Line of best fit (trendline) : a line through a scatter plot of data points that best expresses the relationship between those points.

All the given options for the line of best fit are linear equations.

Therefore, we can add the line of best fit to the graph (see attached), remembering to have roughly the same number of points above and below the line.

Linear equation: $y=mx+b$

(where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept)

From inspection of the line of best fit, we can see that the y-intercept (where x = 0) is approximately 8. So this suggests that options C or D are the solution.

We can also see that the slope (gradient) of the line of best fit is approximately -0.5 (as the rate of change (y/x) is -1 unit of y for every +2 units of x).

Therefore, C is the solution, and the closet approximation to the line of best fit is $y=-0.5x+8$

Snowcat [4.5K]

2500+150x=3000+125x
150x-125x=3000-2500
25x=500

x=500/25
x=20 mo
----------------
2500+150*20=3000+125*20
5500=5500 total paid after each month.
