Drey makes $10 an hour plus $15 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 40 hours for the week.

Part A: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, W, for working x hours in a week when there is no overtime. 

If there is no overtime, the equation is W = 10x.

Part B: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, S, for working y hours of overtime. Hint: Remember to include in the equation the amount earned from working 40 hours. 

At $10 per hour for 40 hours, the total is $400.

S = 15y + 400

Part C: Drey earned $490 in 1 week. How many hours (regular plus overtime) did he work?

490 = 15y + 400

490 - 400 = 15y

90 = 15y

90/15 = y

6 = y

Drey worked 46 hours in all.

Solve each system of equation by substitution y=-x+5 x+2y=2​
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

x = 8

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

y = -x + 5 ...................... equation 1

x + 2y = 2 ........................ equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by substitution method , substitute equation 1 into equation 2 , that is

x + 2(-x+5) = 2

x - 2x + 10 = 2

-x + 10 = 2

collect the like terms

10 - 2 = x

therefore :

x = 8

substitute x = 8 into equation 1 to find the value of y , that is

y = -8 + 5

y = -3

Therefore :

x = 8

y = -3

If a work group consistently achieves 80 % of its quarterly goals and the work group generally has 25 objectives per quarter how
storchak [24]
What this question is asking you to find 80% of 25. 10% of 25 is 2.5 because there is always a decimal point directly to the right of the ones place. (25.0)
You would move the decimal point over one place to find 10% of a given number. How I would approach this is to multiply 2.5 by 8 to find 80% of 25

2.5 x 8 = 20

80% of 25 = 20

You can expect the work group to get done 20 out of 25 of their objectives per quarter
