Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle adjacent to the 70 degree angle is also 70 degrees. We assume that there are four 90-degree angles in the center of the figure. Thus, 8x - 36 + 70 + 90 = 180 (the sum of the interior angles is 180 degrees).
Solving 8x - 36 + 70 + 90 = 180 for x:
8x - 36 = 20, or 8x = 56.
Dividing both sides by 8 yields x = 7.
You work 50 -40 = 10 extra hours per week but get paid for 1.5 times that, or 15 extra hours. In all, you're paid for 40 +15 = 55 hours per week.
.. (55 h/wk)*(4 wk/mo)*($16/h) = $3520/mo
Your gross pay for the month (4 weeks) will be $3,520.
So close! But instead of adding the multiplication sign after the number you need to add them before. Good job though! :)
As simple as it can go is As it's multiplied out form, which is -42.
Use substitution and substitute y into the other equation. One of the equations already gives you y in terms of x, so use that and substitute it into the other equation. y = 3x - 4
Plug into the other equation: -3y = -9x + 12
-3(3x-4) = -9x + 12
-9x + 12 = -9x + 12
This is an identity. So that means that any value of x makes this equation true. So B.
