Assume x and y are the two numbers :
x + y = 80 - - - - (a)
Also, we know that x = y - 18
Replace the values of x in (a)
y - 18 + y = 80
2y = 98
y = 49
x = 49 - 18 = 31

Hope that helps & good luck

When constructing an angle bisector, why must the arcs intersect?
Black_prince [1.1K]
<span>The arcs must intersect because the point at which the arcs intersect forms the halfway point of the angle; if they don’t intersect, the angle will not be bisected. </span>

Gary earns $12 an hour plus $16 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 30 hours for the week
hoa [83]

Part A.

Amount of money earned = Regular rate per hour * Number of working hours

M = 12 x

 

Part B.

Amount of wages earned = Regular rate per hour * Maximum number of regular working hours + Overtime rate per hour * Excess working hours

T = 12 * 30 + 16 * y

T = 360 + 16 y

or

T = 16 y + 360

 

Part C.

Given T = 408, find y:

408 = 16 y + 360

y = 3 hrs

Therefore the total hours Gary worked that week is,

<span>x + y = 30 + 3 = 33 hrs        </span>

<span>(x = 30 since that is the maximum limit for regular working hours)</span>

Plato combining functions mastery test please help
just olya [345]

Answer:

<em>Choice: B.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Operations With Functions</u>

Given the functions:

f(x)=\sqrt[3]{12x+1}+4

g(x)=\log(x-3)+6

The function (g-f)(x) can be obtained by replacing both functions and subtracting them as follows:

(g-f)(x)= g(x) - f(x)

(g-f)(x)= \log(x-3)+6 - (\sqrt[3]{12x+1}+4)

Operating:

(g-f)(x)= \log(x-3)+6 - \sqrt[3]{12x+1}-4

Joining like terms:

\boxed{(g-f)(x)= \log(x-3) - \sqrt[3]{12x+1}+2}

Choice: B.
