<u>Part a)</u> Sam got a new job with a $7.00 per hour raise. He worked for 5 hours and got paid $85.00. How much did he make before the raise?

Let

x--------> amount that Sam earned before the raise

we know that

(x+7) *5 =85

<u>Solve for x</u>

5x+35 =85

5x =85-35

5x =50

x=10\ dollars\  per\  hour

therefore

<u>the answer Part a) is the option</u>

A. $10.00 per hour

<u>Part b)</u> Julia knows 19 Latin words. Each day, she learns 6 new words. How many days until she knows 145?

Let

x-------> the number of days

y-------> the total words Julia Knows

we know that

y=19+6x ------> equation 1

For y=145

<u>Find the value of x</u>

Substitute in the equation 1 the value of y

145=19+6x

6x=145-19

6x=126

x=21\ days

therefore

<u>the answer Part b) is the option</u>

B. 21

<u>Part c)</u> Claire has a part-time job walking dogs Monday through Friday. Business has really increased. She is walking 3 more dogs per day than she did last week. If she walked a total of 35 dogs this week, how many dogs did she walk per day last week?

Let

x--------> the number of dogs that Claire walked last week per day

we know that

x=\frac{35}{5}  -3\\\\ x=7-3\\\\x=4\ dogs\ per\ day

therefore

<u>the answer Part c) is the option </u>

C. 4

<u>Part d)</u> Kayla needs to have $560.00 to buy a new laptop. She already has $200.00 in the bank. Each month she will add $45.00 to her bank account. How many more months until she has enough money to buy her laptop?

Let

x--------> the number of months

y-------> amount in the bank account in dollars

we know that

y=45x+200

<u>Find the value of x for y=560</u>

560=45x+200

45x=560-200

45x=360

x=8\ days

therefore

<u>the answer part d) is the option</u>

D. 8

<u>Part e)</u> Mark bought a notebook for $1.45 and some pencils that cost $0.42 each. If total cost was $6.91, how many pencils did he buy?

Let

x------> the number of pencil

we know that

6.91= 1.45+0.42x\\\\   0.42x=6.91-1.45\\\\ 0.42x=  5.46\\\\ x=  13\ pencils

therefore

<u>the answer part e) is the option</u>

B. 13

Let A, B, C and D be sets. Prove that A \ B and C \ D are disjoint if and only if A ∩ C ⊆ B ∪ D
ANEK [815]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to prove both implications of the affirmation.

1) Let's assume that A \ B and C \ D are disjoint, we have to prove that A ∩ C ⊆ B ∪ D.

We'll prove it by reducing to absurd.

Let's suppose that A ∩ C ⊄ B ∪ D. That means that there is an element x that belongs to A ∩ C but not to B ∪ D.

As x belongs to A ∩ C, x ∈ A and x ∈ C.

As x doesn't belong to B ∪ D, x ∉ B and x ∉ D.

With this, we can say that x ∈ A \ B and x ∈ C \ D.

Therefore, x ∈ (A \ B) ∩ (C \ D), absurd!

It's absurd because we were assuming that A \ B and C \ D were disjoint, therefore their intersection must be empty.

The absurd came from assuming that A ∩ C ⊄ B ∪ D.

That proves that A ∩ C ⊆ B ∪ D.

2) Let's assume that A ∩ C ⊆ B ∪ D, we have to prove that A \ B and C \ D are disjoint (i.e.  A \ B ∩ C \ D is empty)

We'll prove it again by reducing to absurd.

Let's suppose that  A \ B ∩ C \ D is not empty. That means there is an element x that belongs to  A \ B ∩ C \ D. Therefore, x ∈ A \ B and x ∈ C \ D.

As x ∈ A \ B, x belongs to A but x doesn't belong to B.  

As x ∈ C \ D, x belongs to C but x doesn't belong to D.

With this, we can say that x ∈ A ∩ C and x ∉ B ∪ D.

So, there is an element that belongs to A ∩ C but not to B∪D, absurd!

It's absurd because we were assuming that A ∩ C ⊆ B ∪ D, therefore every element of A ∩ C must belong to B ∪ D.

The absurd came from assuming that A \ B ∩ C \ D is not empty.

That proves that A \ B ∩ C \ D is empty, i.e. A \ B and C \ D are disjoint.

A landscaper receives a discount on each plant purchased. The original price of each plant is x dollars. The landscaper purchase
prisoha [69]

Answer:

$4

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount is a form of consideration in price or amount given to a customer on a sale of goods. It can be deduced from the question that;

The original price of each plant = $x

Number of plants purchased = 20

Price of the number of plants purchased without discount = $20x

Amount paid for the 20 plants with discount = $(20x - 80)

Thus,

The discount on the 20 plants = $80

Discount on each plant = \frac{total discount on plants}{number of plants purchased}

                                       = \frac{80}{20}

                                       = $4

Discount on each plant = $4

Therefore, each plant was discounted by $4.

FIRST ONE TO ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST Henry divided his socks into five equal groups. Let s represent the total number of socks. W
Alex777 [14]

Answer: There are 20 socks in the first case and there are 75 socks in the second case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of equal groups = 5

Let the total number of socks be 's'.

According to question, expression will be

Now, Suppose number of socks in each group = 4

So, it will become,

Suppose number of socks in each group = 15

So, Total number of socks become

Hence, there are 20 socks in the first case and there are 75 socks in the second case.
