Answer:
a = 9.6 b = 11.2
Step-by-step explanation:
10 percent of 8 is .8
8 + (8 x .1) = 8.8
8.8 + .8 = 9.6
She will be paid 9.6 dollars after 1 full year of working, because working for one year is 12 months, and thats 10 percent of 8 twice. You can also put that as 20 percent of 8, aka 1.6
When you do 8+1.6 it equals 9.6
For the second part, that is 24 months, so 10 percent of 8 4 times. .8+.8+.8+.8 = 3.2
8+3.2 = 11.2
She will be paid 11.2 dollars after 2 full years of working.
Your answer isnt wrong, I dont know why your teacher is saying it is.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = y-10
Rewrite as: 2x + 10 = y
Therefore:
2x+10 = y
2x +7 = 2y
Subtract the equations:
2x + 10 = y
- 2x + 7 = 2y
______________
3 = -y
Therefore y = -3
Substiture y = -3 into the second equation:
2x + 7 = 2(-3)
2x + 7 = -6
2x = -13
x= -6.5
Answer : (-6.5, -3)
Set up a proportion
160 mi/ 3.2 hrs ≈ 300 mi/x hrs
cross multiply and solve for x and you get x≈6
It will take them 6 hours
16/3 is rational simply because it is a fraction made up of whole numbers.
Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as fractions made up of whole numbers.
