The number is 4/5 or 0.8.

let x be the number.

12 - 2x = 8x + 4

-12 -8x -8x -4

-10x = -8

-10x\-10 = -8/-10

x = 4/5 or 0.8

Evaluating integral by net area

N76 [4]

The graph of $f(x)=2$ is a horizontal line. So the area under $f(x)$ on [0, 8] is equal to the area of a rectangle with length 8 and height 2, or 16.

The graph of $g(x)=\sqrt{64-x^2}$ is the upper half of a circle with radius $\sqrt{64}=8$ . It's symmetric about $x=0$ , so on the interval [0, 8], we're considering a quarter of the circle. The area of such a sector is $\frac{\pi 8^2}4=16\pi$ .

Then use the fact that the definite integral is distributive over sums, meaning

$\displaystyle\int_0^8f(x)+g(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int_0^8f(x)\,\mathrm dx+\int_0^8g(x)\,\mathrm dx=16+16\pi$

Daniella is interviewing for a job. She wants her take-home pay to be at least $51,000

Lilit [14]

Okay. So Daniella wants to have a take-home pay of at least $51,000, but she ahs to pay 15% income tax, which means 15% of what she earns will be gone. To find out the least amont of salary she needs to make, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

51,000/x = 85/100

This is because we are looking for the amount of money made overall, but the $51,000 is only part of the salary earned, and even though you pay 15% income tax, you still take home 85% of your salary. Cross multiply the valyes in order to get 5,100,000 = 85x. Divide each side by 85 to isolate the variable. 5,100,000/85 is 60,000. Let's check this by multiplying by 85% (0.85). 60,000 * 0.85 is 51,000. There. x = 60,000. Daniella will need to make at least $60,000.

How do I solve this out??

GuDViN [60]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

(x, y) = (7, -5)

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

It generally works well to follow directions.

The matrix of coefficients is ...

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&4\\-5&3\end{array}\right]$

Its inverse is the transpose of the cofactor matrix, divided by the determinant. That is ...

$\dfrac{1}{26}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-4\\5&2\end{array}\right]$

So the solution is the product of this and the vector of constants [-6, -50]. That product is ...

... x = (3·(-6) +(-4)(-50))/26 = 7

... y = (5·(-6) +2·(-50))/26 = -5

The solution using inverse matrices is ...

... (x, y) = (7, -5)
