40 x 8.50 = 340
340  x  .0765 = 26.01

So the employer should withhold $26.01 from her check for social security.

Write an equation in standard form for the line that passes through the given points.
Agata [3.3K]

So, pretend this is your x-axis and y-axis:

                                   I

        I

   (-2,7) •  I

        I

        I       • (2, 5)

        I

        I

        I  

        I

 _________________I____________________

        I

        I

        I

TO GET FROM POINT (-2, 7) TO POINT (2, 5), WE MOVE DOWN 2 AND OVER 4, SO THE SLOPE IS -1/2. IF WE FOLLOW THAT SLOPE AND MOVE DOWN 1 AND OVER 2 FROM THE FIRST POINT OF  (-2, 7), WE WILL LAND ON A POINT LOCATED AT (0, 6), WHICH WOULD BE THE "Y-INTERCEPT". WE WERE JUST ABLE TO CALCULATE THE SLOPE OF THE LINE AND THEN USE THE SLOPE TO FIND THE INTERCEPT. SO, THE "SLOPE-INTERCEPT" FORM OF THE EQUATION FOR THIS LINE IS:

y = -1/2x + 6

TO RE-WRITE THIS IN STANDARD FORM, WE JUST WANT TO MOVE THE X VARIABLE OVER TO THE LEFT WITH THE Y VARIABLE, SO:

y = -1/2x + 6

+1/2x   + 1/2x

1/2x + y = 6 .... and that is your answer!

Find the solutions to the equation below. check all that apply
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

A and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

20x² - 26x + 8 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

10x² - 13x + 4 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 10 × 4 = 40 and sum = - 13

The factors are - 5 and - 8

Use these factors to split the x- term

10x² - 5x - 8x + 4 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

5x(2x - 1) - 4(2x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x - 1) from each term

(2x - 1)(5x - 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = \frac{1}{2} → E

5x - 4 = 0 ⇒ 5x = 4 ⇒ x = \frac{4}{5} → A

A dolphin was swimming 6 feet below sea level. The number line shows the
Ksju [112]

On the number line, move 4 units to the right. End at -2. The dolphin was 2 feet below sea level.

<h3>What is number line?</h3>

A number lines are the horizontal straight lines in which the integers are placed in equal intervals.

A dolphin was swimming 6 feet below sea level.  It then swam up 4 feet.

So, -6+4= -2 feet

As, from the information

On the number line, move 4 units to the right. End at -2. The dolphin was 2 feet below sea level.

This is because the dolphin 6 feet below sea level and swam up 4 feet.
