Joe earns $14 an hour and Blaine earns $18 per hour. Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months, and Blaine receives a raise

of $0.75 every six months. Write and solve an equation that can be used to find x, the number of six-month intervals it will take Joe to earn the same hourly rate as Blaine. (Show your work)

After 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Amount earned by Joe = $ 14 per hour

Amount earned by Blaine = $ 18 per hour

Lets assume the number of six month intervals be "x"

<em><u>Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months</u></em>

Therefore,

Joe earning: 14 + 1.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Joe earning: 14 + 1.75x ------- eqn 1

<em><u>Blaine receives a raise of $0.75 every six months</u></em>

Therefore,

Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75x ------------ eqn 2

The number of six-month intervals it will take Joe to earn the same hourly rate as Blaine,

Eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2

14+1.75x = 18+0.75x\\\\1.75x-0.75x = 18-14\\\\1x = 4\\\\x = 4

Thus after 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine.

Which of the following sets could be the sides of a right triangle?
coldgirl [10]

Answer: Choice B) {3, 5, sqrt(34)}

=====================================

Explanation:

We can only have a right triangle if and only if a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation. The 'c' is the longest side, aka hypotenuse. The legs 'a' and 'b' can be in any order you want.

-----------

For choice A,

a = 2

b = 3

c = sqrt(10)

So,

a^2+b^2 = 2^2+3^2 = 4+9 = 13

but

c^2 = (sqrt(10))^2 = 10

which is not equal to 13 from above. Cross choice A off the list.

-----------

Checking choice B

a = 3

b = 5

c = sqrt(34)

Square each equation

a^2 = 3^2 = 9

b^2 = 5^2 = 25

c^2 = (sqrt(34))^2 = 34

We can see that

a^2+b^2 = 9+25 = 34

which is exactly equal to c^2 above. This confirms the answer.

-----------

Let's check choice C

a = 5, b = 8, c = 12

a^2 = 25, b^2 = 64, c^2 = 144

So,

a^2+b^2 = c^2

25+64 = 144

89 = 144

which is a false equation allowing us to cross choice C off the list.

Which equation represents the graphed function ?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1)

m = \frac{1-3}{1-0} = - 2

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = - 2x + 3  → A
