To solve this question make an equation

450 x 0.15 = X

0.15 = the percentage taken out of the paycheck

67.5 = Social Security Taxes

450 - 67.5

= $382.5

Or the easier way if you want it straight away

450 x 0.85 = $382.5

0.85 = percentage taken home

What is the following sum? Assume x greater-than-or-equal-to 0 and y greater-than-or-equal-to 0

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}=2xy^2\sqrt{x}+2xy\sqrt{y}$

Hence, ption B is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}$

solving the expression

$\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}$

$\sqrt{x^2y^3}=xy\sqrt{y}$

$2\sqrt{x^3y^4}=2xy^2\sqrt{x}$

so the expression becomes

$\:\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}=xy\sqrt{y}+2xy^2\sqrt{x}+xy\sqrt{y}$

Group like terms

$=2xy^2\sqrt{x}+xy\sqrt{y}+xy\sqrt{y}$

Add similar elements

$=2xy^2\sqrt{x}+2xy\sqrt{y}$

Therefore, we conclude that:

$\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}=2xy^2\sqrt{x}+2xy\sqrt{y}$

Hence, option B is true.

What is the total number of common tangents that can be drawn to the circles

tester [92]

Answer:

A. 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The circles are concentric. I.e there is no point where the circumferences of both circles ever touch each other. Hence there can be no tangent line possible that can be common to both circles at the same time.

Answer: 22.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

You did not attach a question, so I'm going to assume that it is asking for the maximum weight of a suitcase in kilograms.
