First we need to subtract $5 from both sides. That gives us the new equation 1.50p = 9. Then, divide 9 by 1.5, which gives you the answer. 9/1.5 = 6.

Answer:

No Real Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have:

$x-2\sqrt{x-3}=0$

First, determine the domain restrictions. The expression under the radical cannot be less than 0. Therefore:

$x-3\geq 0\\x\geq 3$

Therefore, our final answers must be greater than or equal to 3:

Now, going back to the original equation, subtract x from both sides:

$-2\sqrt{x-3}=-x$

Now, square both sides:

$4(x-3)=x^2$

Distribute:

$4x-12=x^2$

Subtract 4x and add 12 to both sides:

$0=x^2-4x+12$

This isn't factor-able. Let's use the quadratic formula. a is 1, b is -4 and c is 12:

$x= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Substitute:

$x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(12)}}{2(1)}$

Simplify the radical:

$x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{-32}}{2(1)}$

The number under the radical is negative. In other words, there are no real solutions.

Rachel works a day job and an evening job. She works 77 hours every two weeks. The ratio of the hours she works at her day job t

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

1680 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

$7 + 4 = 11$

$77 \div 11 = 7$

$day \: 7 \times 7 = 49h$

$evening \: 7 \times 4 = 28h$

$24 \div 4 = 6$

$6 \times 3 = 18 (hourly \: pay \: of \: evening \: job)$

$24 \times 49 = 1176$

$28 \times 18 = 504$

$total \: 1176 + 504 = 1680$

Can someone help me with this question? <br> (2,5) and (10,3) What is the slope and the y-intercept

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

slope is -1/4

y intercept is 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is (3-5)/(10-2) = -2/8 = -1/4 (using the slope formula)

the y intercept we can set up an equation, y= mx + b

we already know m, which is -1/4 (the slope), and to find b, we could just plug in one of the points to get

5 = (-1/4)*2+b

solve the equation

b = 11/2
