Carlos and Mike earn same amount for 10 hours of part time work

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of hours worked by Carlos and mike

Given that,

<em><u>Carlos earns $7.25 per hour plus a $10 bonus</u></em>

Thus, total amount earned by Carlos for "x" hours is given by:

total earned = 7.25(number of hours) + $ 10

total earned = 7.25x + 10 ----- eqn 1

<em><u>Mike earns $7.75 per hour plus a $5 bonus</u></em>

Thus, total amount earned by Mike for "x" hours is given by:

total earned = 7.75(number of hours) + $ 5

total earned = 7.75x + 5 ------- eqn 2

To find number of hours, they earn same amount, equate eqn 1 and eqn 2

7.25x + 10 = 7.75x + 5

7.75x - 7.25x = 10 - 5

0.5x = 5

x = 10

Thus for 10 hours, they earn the same amount

Y=2x+4<br> y=x=6<br> i need help solving the system of equations
Temka [501]

Answer:

X = 6

Y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x = 6

we won’t pay attention to the first equation because this equation says that:   “y = x” and “x = 6”

so, if x = 6, so will be y

Which function is an example of exponential growth? y = 2(0.3)x y = 1.5(0.4)x y = 3(8)x y = 2(0.7)x
4vir4ik [10]
Exponential equation is
y=a(b)ˣ

when b>1, it is growth
when 0>b>1, it is decay

so

we want the 2nd number to be more than 1
that would be the 3rd one, y=3(8)ˣ

The common difference ,d in an arithmetic sequence whose fourth term is 16 and whose seventh therm is 31
Natali [406]

Answer: d=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic progression

An=a1+d(n-1)

An= nth term

A1= first term

D= common difference

N= nth position

We are given the 4th and 7th terms

For 4th term,n=4

A4=a1+d(4-1)

A4= 16

16= a1+d(4-1)

16= a1+3d........equation 1

For the 7th term,n=7

A7=a1+d(7-1)

A7= 31

31=a1+6d......equation 2

Bring them together

16=a1+3d

31=a1+6d

Subtract equation 1 from 2

So we have

15=3d

D=15/3

D=5

Therefore, the common difference is 5
