x=heavy equipment

y= general labor

x+y=38

x=38-y

134x + 92y=4756

134(38-y)+92y =4756

5092-134y+92y=4756

-42y = -336

y = -336/-42 = 8

x=38-8=30

check 30*134 =4020

8*92 = 736

4020+736 = 4756


 8 general laborers

30 heavy equipment operators

When determining if you have a perfect square trinomial, what must the first and third term be?
cricket20 [7]

The expansion of a perfect square is

(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2

In words, the square of a sum of two terms is the sum of the squares of the two terms (a^2 and b^2), plus twice the product of the two terms (2ab)

So, when determining if you have a perfect square trinomial, you should have two perfect squares. Note that they don't have to be the first and third term, since you can rearrange terms as you prefer.

1/5x-2/3y=30<br> What is the value of the x in the equation when y=15
svetlana [45]

Answer:

\frac{1}{5} x -  \frac{2}{3} y = 30 \\  \frac{1}{5} x -  \frac{2}{3} 15 = 30 \\  \frac{1}{5} x -  \frac{30}{3}  = 30 \\  \frac{1}{5} x  -  10 = 30 \\  \frac{1}{5} x = 30 + 10 \\  \frac{1}{5} x = 40 \\ x = 40 \div  \frac{1}{5}  \\ x = 40 \times  \frac{5}{1}  \\ x = 40 \times 5 \\ x = 200

I hope I helped you^_^

Solve the quadratic function using square root X+10x+25 =18
lawyer [7]

Answer:

= − 7 /1 1  in fraction form

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1: Multiply by 1

1 + 1 0 + 2 5 = 1 8

+ 1 0 + 2 5 = 1 8                                                                                                                               STEP 2: Combine like terms

+ 1 0 + 2 5 = 1 8

1 1 + 2 5 = 1 8                                                                                                                       STEP 3: Subtract  2 5   from both sides of the equation

11x+25=18

1 1 + 2 5 − 2 5 = 1 8 − 2 5

STEP 4: Simplify  by subtracting the numbers

1 1 + 2 5 − 2 5 = 1 8 − 2 5

11x+25−25=18−25                                                                                                   1 1 = 1 8 − 2 5                                                                                                                                   1 1 =  -7

STEP 5: Divide both sides of the equation by the same term                                                     1 1 = − 7                                                                                                                         11x/ 11x = −7/ 1 1 (set up as a fraction)                                                                       STEP 6: Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

=  − 7 /1 1                                                                                                                      SOLUTION

=  − 7 /1 1
