Answer: the starting temperature is - 7 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the starting temperature.

Then the temperature doubled. It means that it became 2x degrees

Then the temperature dropped by 10 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 degrees.

Then the temperature increased by 40 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 + 40 = 2x + 30 degrees.

If the temperature is now 16 degrees, it means that

2x + 30 = 16

2x = 16 - 30

2x = - 14

x = - 14/2

x = - 7 degrees

Calculation for Jennifer's monthly gross pay

First step is to calculate The total tax percentage deductions

Using this formula

Total tax percentage deductions =State tax + City tax + Social security + Medicare

Let plug in the formula

Total tax percentage deductions = 3.5% +2.5% +6.2% +1.45%

Total tax percentage deductions = 13.65%

Now let calculate the monthly gross pay

Monthly gross pay= ($3,981.22 +87)/(1-13.65%)

Monthly gross pay= ($3,981.22 +87)/0.8635

Monthly gross pay=$4,068.22/0.8635

Monthly gross pay= $4,711.31

∠R and ∠S are complementary. If m∠R = (2x+7) and m∠S = (4x - 13), find m∠R
____ [38]

Answer:

m∠R = 39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

As complementary angles add up to 90 degrees, we can set up an equation to get x then find the measure of ∠R:

m∠R + m∠S = 90

2x+7+4x-13=90

6x+7-13=90

6x-6=90

6x=96

x=16

Since m∠R = (2x+7), 2x+7 would be 2(16)+7 or 39 degrees. So in conclusion, m∠R = 39 degrees
