Answer:

<em>22=\frac{350+12x}{x}</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha's weekly paycheck is $350 and she earns $12 in tips each hour. So, 12x represents the amount she earns in tips for working x hours. To find the total amount Samantha earns after working x hours, add the amount of her weekly paycheck and her amount earned in tips.

350+12x

Next, to find Samantha's average hourly earnings over the course of a week, divide the total amount that she earns in a week by the number of hours that she works, x.

\frac{350+12x}{x}

It is given that the average amount earned per hour for one particular week was $22. Therefore, set the above expression equal to 22 in order to create the rational equation that can be used to determine the number of hours Samantha worked that week.

22=\frac{350+12x}{x}

Answer:

\frac{350+12x}{x} =22

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha's total earning per week are going to include the fix weekly wage of $350, plus whatever she gets from the tips. SInce what she gets from tips she noticed to be $12 per hour, if she works x hours during the week, the amount coming from tips only will be= $12*x

Therefore the total earning per week will add up to: $350 + $12*x

On the other hand, if we want to express her "average" hourly earnings, we need to divide the quantity above by the number of hours she works per week (we named such "x"): \frac{350+12x}{x}

Therefore, the last expression that states that "Samantha's average hourly earnings is $22", can be written as: \frac{350+12x}{x}=22

A parallelogram has a 70 degree angle and sides 6 cm and 10 cm long. How long are its diagonals?
Verdich [7]
Let the shorter diagonal be x, then
x^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2 x 6 x 10 x cos 70 = 36 + 100 - 120 cos 70 = 136 - 41.04 = 94.96
x = sqrt(94.96) = 9.7 cm

The other angle of the parallelogram is 1/2(360 - 2(70)) = 1/2(360 - 140) = 1/2(220) = 110
Let the longer diagonal be y, then
y^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2 x 6 x 10 x cos 110 = 36 + 100 - 120 cos 110 = 136 + 41.04 = 177.04
y = sqrt(177.04) = 13.3 cm.

Therefore, the length of the diagonals are 9.7 cm and 13.3 cm.

vredina [299]

Answer:

Each of the 7 large animals ate 71 lbs of food.

Step-by-step explanation:

There was a total of 680 lbs of food, and the elephant ate 183 lbs by itself. This means that there was 497 lbs of food left for the 7 large animals. To find out how much food each of the 7 animals ate, we just divide. 497 lbs of food divided by 7 large animals. This will give us a final result of 71 lbs of food per large animal.

We are asked to simplify the expression \large\pmb{7x^2-x^2}.

\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}

  • Combine like terms! :)

That's exactly what we need to do - combine like terms.

So, we subtract:

\star~\large\pmb{7x^2-x^2}

Which gives us:

\star~\large\pmb{6x^2}

Hope it helps you out! :D
