Answer:
He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using proportions.
Per hour:
Joel earns $7.25 per hour, 20% of which is deducted for taxes. So without taxes, in each hour, he earns 100%-20% of 80% of this, so 0.8*7.25 = $5.8.
Per day:
He works 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, so 8 hours a day.
For each hour, he earns $5.8.
So in a day, he makes 8*5.8 = $46.4
How many days he must work:
The ticket costs $2400.
He makes $46.4 a day.
So, to buy a ticket, he needs to work:
2400/46.4 = 51.7 days
Rounding up
He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.
Answer:
-28 - 16x
Step-by-step explanation:
7-7(5+x)-9x
Distribute
7 - 35 -7x -9x
Combine like terms
-28 - 16x
Answer:
If we do square on both sides we get two answers i.e. (x+12)^2=(3x+20)^2
(x^2)+24x+144=(9x^2)+120x+400
(8x^2)+96x+256=0
(x^2)+12x+32=0
(x+4)(x+8)=0
x= -4 or x= -8.
Else we have another method
x+12=3x+20
x+12–20=3x
x-8=3x,
Now square on both sides.
(x-8)^2=(3x)^2
x^2–16x+64=(9x^2)
(9x^2)-(x^2)+16x-64=0
(8x^2)+16x-64=0
(x^2)+2x-8=0
(x+4)(x-2)=0
x= -4 or x= 2.
But It Didn’t Satisfy for The Equation When
x=2 or x= -8,So The Value of x will be -4 which satisfies given question.
