So firstly let’s set a ‘algebra’
Let’s make the hours working after school as ‘x’
So Chase works totally 18 hours last week
So the hours he works on Saturday is (18-x)
And given the salary of working after school is $8 per hour,and the salary of working on Saturday is $10,and he earned $156
So with these we can write a equation
8x+10(18-x)=156
solve it,
8x+180-10x=156
-2x=-24
X=12
as I said x is the hour working after school
The hour working on Saturday should be 18-x
18-12=6
Answer is 6

(−8k+1)(−8k+1) standard form
kifflom [539]

Answer:

64k^2 - 16k +1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite this as

(-8k+1) ^2

We know that (a+b)^2 = a^2 +2ab +b^2

Let a = -8k  and b = 1

(-8k+1) = (-8k)^2 +2*(-8k)(1) + 1^2

           =64k^2 - 16k +1

eduard

Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it is backwards to figure a fifteen percent discount, you would make 15% into .15 and then multiply .15 times the original prioce to see the amount off.
