I = prt
To solve for r divide both sides by p and t.
r = I /pt

Answer: $2400</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
x = Mason's salary in dollars for that month
x/6 = one-sixth of his salary
x/6+800 = total amount spent (the x/6 dollars and $800 combined)
In total, he spent half his salary. This means he spent x/2 dollars for the month overall.
Set the two items equal to one another. Solve for x.
x/6 + 800 = x/2
6(x/6 + 800) = 6*(x/2) ... see note at the bottom of the page
x+4800 = 3x
4800 = 3x-x
4800 = 2x
2x = 4800
x = 4800/2
x = 2400
His monthly salary is $2400
1/6 of this is (1/6)*2400 = 2400/6 = 400 dollars. Add on the $800 he also spent to get a total of 400+800 = 1200 dollars spent, which is exactly one half of the $2400. The answer is confirmed.
-------
Note: I multiplied both sides by 6 to clear out the fractions. The value 6 is the LCD in this case.
X stands for the number of years experience . y = 36000 when x = 0 years experience, so the 36000 is the starting salary for a new employee.
Answer:
1. 2x + 3y =22
y=4
C. (5,4)
2. y=0
-5x - 2y = -15
B. (3,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+(3)(4)=22
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2x+12=22
Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.
2x+12−12=22−12
2x=10
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
2x/2 = 10/2
x=5
====================================================================
−5x−(2)(0)=−15
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−5x−(2)(0)=−15
−5x+0=−15
(−5x)+(0)=−15(Combine Like Terms)
−5x=−15
−5x=−15
Step 2: Divide both sides by -5.
−5x/−5 = −15/−5
x=3
