The answer is x=4.
set the equations up: 8x-5=6x-3
Subtract 6x from one side and then the other side 2x-5=3
Add 5 from one side and then the other 2x=8
Divide 2 on each side which gets you x=4
The correct answer is: [C]: " p = 6.25 h " .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
It is clear that "pay" is a function of "hours worked" ;
So, we can eliminate: "Choice [B]: " h = <span>6.25p" .
______________________________________________________
Try, Choice [A]: " </span>p = h + 12.5 " ; and 14.50 ≠ 12.50 ; (12.50 is the amount shown in the table. So, we can already eliminate "Choice [A]".
<span>_____________________________________________
Now that we have eliminated choices [A] and [B];
we are left with choices: [C] and [D]:
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [C]: " </span><span>p = 6.25h " ;
</span> when "h = 2" ; does: "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)?? ;
i.e. " 12.5 =? 6.25 * (2) ?? Yes! This choice is a POSSIBILITY.
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [D]: " p = 12.5h" .
When "h = 2, does "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)? No!
→ We can see from this very answer choice
(the equation itself) that when "h = 2" ;
the value of "p" is DOUBLE [that of "12.5"].
________________________________________________
The correct answer is: Answer choice: [C]: " <span>p = 6.25 h " .

Answer: <u>B, about 280 ounces</u>
16.9 + 15.2 = 32.1
32.1 * 7 = 224.7
Not A because she doesn't drink 30 oz she drinks 32.
B is the closest and is rounding both numbers up.
C is false because you don't multiply by 10, you multiply by 7 because of the 7 days in a week.
D is false for the same reason as C.
Answer: 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
use pythagorean theorem
13^2 + b^2 = 15^2
- 13^2
b^2 = 56 - square root
= 7.5
60, 25% is a quarter of 100%, so 15 + 15 + 15 + 15= 60
