Answer:

Kate's possible hourly rate of pay:  $34.75

Hours of overtime: 100

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find Kate's hourly wage, we can set up an equation based on the number of hours she works per week and the estimated number of overtime hours to equal her total pay for the year.  If Kate works 36 hours/week and there are 52 weeks in a year, her total hours for one year are:  36 x 52 = 1872.  Setting up an equation based on her total earnings of $72,000:

1872x + 100(2x) = 72000, where 'x' is the hourly rate and '2x' is her overtime rate which is double time.

Combine like terms:  1872x + 200x = 72000 or 2072x = 72000

Divide both sides by 2072:  2072x/2072 = 72000/2072

Solve for x:  x = $34.75

Kate's hourly rate is estimated at $34.75.  We can check to see if this is correct by putting this value back into our original equation:

1872(34.75) + 100(2)(34.75) = 65052 + 6950 = 72002

The answer of $72,002 is very close to $72,000 and the best estimate of Kate's hourly wage and overtime hours.

Answer:

Given that JN was bisected, JL ≅ LN

Given that KM was bisected, KL ≅ ML

∠JLK ≅ ∠MLN because of vertical angles.

∠JLK is contained by JL and KL.

∠MLN is contained by ML and LN.

Therefore ΔJKL ≅ ΔNML by the SAS postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The SAS postulate states that when you know two triangles have an equal angle, and that angle is formed by two sides that are equal in both triangles, the two triangles are congruent.

When a line is bisected, it means it was cut in two equal parts.

Since two lines were bisected and each form a side in the triangles, two sides are congruent.

The contained angles, ∠JLK and ∠MLN, are equal because of vertical angles. Vertical angles occur when two straight lines intersect. Angles that are opposite to each other are equal in all cases.

Please help <br><br>y≥1/3x-3​
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

B, the one with the line and shaded the top on the right side. (The one that goes to 7 on the x axis).

Step-by-step explanation:

First I find which graph as y -intercept of -3, which is all of them.

Next, I find with graph has a slope of 1/3. (rise 1 run 3). Only B and D has a slope of 1/3 (The ones that has a less steep graph. )

Then, I use the coordinate (0,0) to see which side the graph shades. I plug it into the inequality. (0)≥1/3(0)-3​. Solve. Is 0 greater than -3. YES! so we shade the part where (0,0) is shaded which is B.
