Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x – 1) – 2(2x + 1) = 8(x – 1)

Distribute

3x-3 -4x-2 = 8x-8

Combine like terms

-x-5 = 8x-8

Add x to each side

-x+x-5 =8x+x -8

-5 = 9x-8

Add 8 to each side

-5+8 = 9x-8+8

3 = 9x

Divide by 9

3/9 =9x/9

1/3 =x

Neil and Nancy are married with two children at home and a mortgage. Neil's net pay per year is $56,000 and Nancy doesn't have a
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

their current cash flow is negative since their expenses are higher than their income:

  • monthly net income = $56,000 / 12 = $4,667
  • monthly expenses = $1,500 + $3,500 = $5,000
  • monthly cash flow = ($333)

they have 3 options:

  • Option 1 (which I personally dislike) is that Neil contributes $4,000 less per year to his retirement account in order to balance their net income and expenses. The problem is that once he retires, his income will be much lower.
  • Option 2 is that they lower their expenses a little bit, only enough to balance their cash flows.
  • Option 3 is that Nancy gets a part time job, maybe a couple of hours per day which will allow her to earn money that can be used to cover some expenses.

Personally I believe that option 2 is the best, but if they definitely cannot lower their monthly expenses, then option 3 would probably fit them.

V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
------\\
h=7\\
V=288
\end{cases}\implies 288=\cfrac{\pi \cdot r^2\cdot 7}{3}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{288\cdot 3}{7\pi }=r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{288\cdot 3}{7\pi }}=r
