Answer:
2 should be distributed as 2y + 8; y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2(y + 4) = 4y
Distribute
2y + 8 = 4y
Step 2 is incorrect because the added instead of multiplied
Continuing on to correct the problem
Subtract 2y from each side
2y+8-2y = 4y-2y
8 = 2y
Divide by 2
8/2 = 2y/2
4 =y
9-5=4 Therefore f=4
Hope this helps
Malia : y = 8.1x.....this tells me she makes 8.10 per hr worked
Bill : if he earned 144.90 for working 18 hrs.....144.90/18 = 8.05 per hr worked.
so Malia makes 5 cents more per hr worked.
Is that the answer ur looking for ?
Answer:
$48.66
Step-by-step explanation:
The price of a good is the base cost plus tax. We are given the cost of the skirt, so all we need is the amount of tax. To find it, we multiple the cost of the skirt by the tax rate:
45.99 * 0.058 = 2.67
We now add the tax to the cost of the skirt:
45.99 + 2.67 = 48.66
As you can see, we are adding the price of the skirt to 5.8% of the skirt's price, so we can also solve the problem by simply multiplying the cost by 1.058 as shown below:
45.99 * 1.058 = 48.66
