james' daily wage was $5 more than Davis's. Although James worked 3 days less than David, they earned $180 each. Find the number

zalisa [80]

Answer: 9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent James' daily wage

James' daily wage was $5 more than Davis's. It means that Davis's daily wage will be $(x-5)

Let y represent number of days that James worked. James worked 3 days less than David. It means that the number of days that Davis worked would be (y + 3) days

they earned $180 each. Total amount of money earned by either of of them is the product of wage and the number of days worked.

Since James earned $180, then

180 = xy - - - - - - - - 1

Since Davis also earned $180, then

180 = (x - 5)(y + 3)

xy +3x -5y -15 = 180 - - - - - - - - 2

Substituting xy = 180 into equation 2

It becomes

180 + 3x - 5y -15 = 180

3x - 5y = 180 - 180 + 15

3x - 5y = 15 - - - - - - -3

From equation 1, x = 180/y

Substituting x = 180/y into equation 3, it becomes

3 × 180/y - 5y = 15

540 - 5y^2 = 15y

5y^2 + 15y -540 = 0

Dividing through by 5

y^2 + 3y -108 = 0

y^2 + 12y - 9y -108 = 0

y(y + 12) - 9(y + 12) = 0

y + 12 = 0 or y - 9 = 0

y = -12 or y = 9

Since the number of days cannot be negative, then,

Number of days that James worked will be 9 days

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Shalnov [3]

Using translation concepts, the correct statement is given by:

If function f was translated down 4 units, the f(x) values would be subtracted by 4. A point in the table for the transformed function would be (1,9).

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.

A translation down 4 units means that the output values are subtracted by 4, hence the table would be given by:

x 1 2 3 4 5

f(x) 9 15 33 87 249

Y=2(x+1)^2 has how many real roots

oee [108]

The equation y= 2 $(x+1)^2$ has one real root and that is x=-1.

What is real roots of the equation?

We are aware that when we resolve a linear or quadratic equation, we always arrive at the value variable of the equation, or, to put it another way, we always locate the equation's solution. This "solution" is what we refer to as the real roots. For instance, when the equation $X^2$ -7x+12=0 is solved, the actual roots are 3 and 4.
