Molly owes her brother $300.She works for $10 per hour as a checker at the local grocery store.Molly plans to repay her brother

gavmur [86]

Answer: The expression which represents the condition described is given as $4x=300$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount that Molly owes her brother = $300

Let the number of hours she worked as a checker be x

Cost of per hour = $10

Amount she get after doing work for x hours is given by

$10x$

Rate of tax are taken out = 80%

So, amount she left with is given by

$\frac{100-20}{100}\times 10x\\\\=\frac{80}{100}\times 10x\\\\=8x$

So, Molly plans to repay her brother half of what she earns is given by

$\frac{8x}{2}=4x$

According to question,

$4x=300\\\\x=\frac{300}{4}\\\\x=75\ hours$

So, the expression which represents the condition described is given as

$4x=300$

The points (-3,-1) and (-3,5) are adjacent vertices of a rectangle. Two of the sides of the rectangle have a length of 8 units.

taurus [48]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (-3, -1)

B (-3 , 5)

length of a side = 8 units

Process

1.- Calculate the distance between A and B

dAB = $\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2} + (y2 - y1)^{2}}$

x1 = -3 y1 = -1

x2 = -3 y2 = 5

-Substitution

dAB = $\sqrt{(-3 + 3)^{2}+ (5 + 1)^{2}}$

dAB = $\sqrt{0^{2} + 6^{2}}$

dAB = $\sqrt{36}$

dAB = 6 u

2.- Calculate the diagonal using the Pythagorean theorem.

c² = a² + b²

c² = 6² + 8²

c² = 36 + 64

c² = 100

c = 10 units

- Conclusion

The diagonal of the rectangle measures 10 units
