Answer:
<h2>VX = 26</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
If W is the midpoint of VX then VW = WX. Therefore we have the equation:
2x + 5 = 4x - 3 <em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>
2x = 4x - 8 <em>subtract 4x from both sides</em>
-2x = -8 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>
x = 4
VX = VW + WX
VX = 2x + 5 + 4x - 3 = (2x + 4x) + (5 - 3) = 6x + 2
Put the value of x = 4 to 6x + 2:
VX = 6(4) + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26
Okay this equation really says is what is 30% of 248.
So, lets convert 30% to a fraction, 3/10 which is easier to work with.
All you have to do now is get out a calculator and do 248 *3/10 (or .3) and get 74.4
So subtract 74.4 and get
173.6
The number of years it will take to earn his first million is 24 years
Average bi-weekly gross pay = $1,630
Bi-weekly = 2 weeks
Number of 2 weeks(bi-weeks) in a year = 26 bi-weeks
The least million he can earn is $1,000,000
Let the number of years = n
We could use the equation :
Least million = gross pay × (Number of bi-weeks × number of years)
1000000 = 1630 × (26n)
1000000 = 42380
Divide both sides by 34230
1000000 / 42380 = n
n = 23.59
The least number of years is 24.
