The equation would be 309.8=9.65x, where x=number of hours you worked this week. You would then solve the equation by dividing 309.8 by 9.65.

Hey there!

To solve this problem, you'll first need to analyze what happens to the hourly wage of the internship, which can be represented by x, to get to the hourly wage of the student's new job, which is $23.00. The problem says that $23.00 is twice the amount of x, or 2x, plus $6.00, or + 6. 

Your equation will be 23 = 2x + 6. Now, you have to solve it. 

To solve an equation, you will need to combine your terms. This is easier to show than explain:

23 = 2x + 6

You can start out by subtracting 6 from +6, which will cancel out that term on the right side. Anything you do to one side is something you must repeat on the other, so subtract 6 from 23 on the left side, as well. 

23 = 2x + 6
– 6        – 6

17 = 2x

Now, you will cancel out the 2 in 2x by dividing that term by 2. Then, you'll repeat this on the left side to find what x is equal to. 

(17) ÷ 2 = (2x) ÷ 2

8.5 = x

The hourly wage of the intern job was $8.50. You can check this by plugging this number into your original equation and solving the equation. If it is equal to 23, the answer is correct. 

y = 2x + 6
y = 2(8.5) + 6
y = 17 + 6
y = 23

$8.50 is your final answer. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Which of the following is not equal to sin⁡(-230°)?
xenn [34]

From trigonometry we know that:

if sin(\theta)=sin(\alpha)

then, \theta=n\pi+(-1)^n\alpha (where n is an integer)

This can be rewritten in degrees as:

\theta=n(180^{\circ})+(-1)^n\alpha.............(Equation 1)

Now, in our case, \alpha=-230^{\circ}

Therefore, (Equation 1) can be written as:

\theta=n(180^{\circ})+(-1)^n(-230^{\circ})..........(Equation 2)

Now, to find the correct options all that we have to do is replace n by relevant integers and find the values of \theta that match.

For n=2, (Equation 2) gives us: \theta=2\times 180^{\circ}+(-1)^2(-230^{\circ})=360^{\circ}-230^{\circ}=130^{\circ}.

Thus, sin(230^{\circ})=sin(130^{\circ})

Now, we know that: -sin(-50^{\circ})=sin(50^{\circ})

Let n=-1, then:

\theta=(-1)\times 180^{\circ}+(-1)^{-1}(-230^{\circ})=-180^{\circ}+230^{\circ}=50^{\circ}

Thus, sin(-230^{\circ})=-sin(-50^{\circ})

Likewise, sin(-230^{\circ})=sin(50^{\circ})

Only the last option sin(-50^{\circ}) will never match sin(-230^{\circ}) because no integral value of n will ever give \theta=-50^{\circ}

Thus the last option is the correct option.

Helpppp meeee fassttt pleaseeee

Answer:

 y = -1/3x + 3 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. find the slope of the given line

y2-y1/x2-x1          2 - 4/ 3 + 3 = - 1 / 3

take the opposite of that and there is your slope

step 2. plug in the values to the following equation using the given point:

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )          y - 4 = - 1/3 ( x + 1 )

step 3. solve for y

y-4 = -1/3(x+1)

-1/3(x) and -1/3(1)  ----> y-4 = -1/3x-1/3

y-4+4 = -1/3x-1/3+4  ---->  y = -1/3x + 3 2/3

<em>hope this helps. if you need more help lmk in the comments. i am in algebra two so you can trust me. Happy holidays</em>

The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 265. What is the fifth number in this sequence?
son4ous [18]
Five consecutive integers are:

n, n+1, n+2, n+3, n+4  the sum of which is:

5n+10=265  subtract 10 from both sides

5n=255, divide both sides by 5

n=51

Our fifth number was n+4 so the fifth number is 55
