Sam's employer deducts 20% in payroll and state taxes from his base salary before writing his paycheck. Sam's monthly paycheck i
Radda [10]
Part A: $1920 because if you change 20%to .2 then .2*1600= 320 and 320+1600=1920
Part B: $320 because 1600/5=320 that is after taxes, before taxes it is $384 because 1920/5=384 you divided it by 5 because it is 1/5, so you divide it by 5 and then multiply it by 1 because 1/5=y/1600 so find y which is what he out in the savings account

Find the zeros of the quadratic equation-<br> v(5v-7)=0
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

v(5v-7)=0

We multiply parentheses

5v^2-7v=0

a = 5; b = -7; c = 0;

Δ = b2-4ac

Δ = -72-4·5·0

Δ = 49

The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions

We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:

v1 = −b−√Δ/2a

v2 = -b+√Δ/2a

√Δ = √49 = 7

v1 = -(−7)−7/2*5 = 0/10 = 0

v2 = -(−7)+7/2*5 = 14/10 =  1+2/5

A set of equations is shown above. Which method eliminates one of the variables? A) Multiply equation A by -1/3 and add the resu
Paraphin [41]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying Equation A by (1/3) and adding the result to Equation B will do the trick.  Let's actually solve the problem!

Equation A:  (5/3)x + 3y = 12

Equation B:    4x     -  3y = 8

                    ---------------------------

                     (5/3 + 12/3)x = 15        Note how this has eliminated the variable

                            (17/3)x = 15           y.

                                   x = (3/17)(15)
