Answer:

He should work 6\frac{2}{3} hours in overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of hours of regular time and y represents the number of hours of overtime,

Since, earnings are $24 per hour for regular time and $36 per hour for overtime,

Thus, total earning = (24x + 36y) dollars,

Here, x = 40 hours and total earning = $ 1200,

By substituting the values,

1200 = 24(40) + 36y

1200 = 960 + 36y

240 = 36y

⇒ y = 6\frac{2}{3}\text{ hours}

Hence, he should work 6\frac{2}{3} hours in overtime.

6k+4k<-4k+6 solve for k
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

k < 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:Sinplify both sides of the inequality

10k <-4k+6

Step 2: Add 4k to both sides

10k + 4k < -4k + 6 + 4k

14k < 6

Step 3:Divide both sides by 14

14k/14 < 6/14

k <3/7

Find x for this problem ​
o-na [289]
To find c you use cosine or adjacent/hypotenuse. To set up your equation it’ll look like h=16/cos(21). h=hypotenuse which is what your solving for. You should get 17.1383199. I’m not sure what your supposed round to so I gave the full answer.
