Net pay is the difference between a worker’s gross income and his or her deductions. A person’s gross income for the year was $6

5,000 and their total deductions were $12,860. What was their net pay for the year? Use the formula P = I - d, where P is the net pay, I is the gross income and d is the deductions. a. $53,140 is the net pay b. $77,860 is the net pay c. $72,860 is the net pay d. $52,140 is the net pay

We are given that I = $65,000 and d = $12,860. Using the formula, we get:
P = 65000-12860 = 52140

So, the person's net pay is $52,140, and the answer is D.

Solve for x: 1 1/5 x -2 1/3 < 1/7 x+ 1 1/2
Firlakuza [10]
Solving inequalities is similar to solving a regular equation. The only thing you need to worry about with inequalities is that when you are dividing or multiplying by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign. You won't have to worry about that here if the coefficient in front of x is positive when you divide!

Also remember:
- To add/subtract fractions, you have to turn all mixed numbers into improper fractions (if needed), <span>find a common denominator on both fractions (if needed), add/subtract the numerators, put the sum/difference over the common denominator, and simplify if needed. 

- To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. Put the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.

- To divide fractions, remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the inverse of that fraction (aka fraction flipped). 

- To turn mixed numbers into improper fractions, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction. Add the numerator of the fraction to the product you get, and put that final sum over the original denominator.

Back to the problem:
</span>You are told that 1 \frac{1}{5} x - 2 \frac{1}{3} \ \textless \ \frac{1}{7} x + 1 \frac{1}{2} and you have to solve for x.
<span>
1) </span>Using the info for converting mixed numbers to improper fractions from above, you know that 1 \frac{1}{2} =  \frac{3}{2} and 2 \frac{1}{3} =  \frac{7}{3} and 1 \frac{1}{5} x =  \frac{6}{5} x. Now add/subtract using the info above, isolating the variable x by adding 2 \frac{1}{3} to both sides and subtracting \frac{1}{7} x from both sides. 
1 \frac{1}{5} x - 2 \frac{1}{3} \ \textless \ \frac{1}{7} x + 1 \frac{1}{2}\\&#10;\frac{6}{5} x -  \frac{7}{3} \ \textless \ \frac{1}{7} x + \frac{3}{2}\\&#10;(\frac{6}{5} x  - \frac{1}{7} x) \ \textless \ (\frac{3}{2} + \frac{7}{3})\\&#10;(\frac{42}{35} x  - \frac{5}{35} x) \ \textless \ (\frac{9}{6} + \frac{14}{6})\\&#10; \frac{37}{35} x \ \textless \   \frac{23}{6}

2) Divide both sides by \frac{37}{35} to get the inequality for x. Remember the info for dividing from above:
\frac{37}{35} x \ \textless \ \frac{23}{6}\\&#10;x \ \textless \  \frac{23}{6} \div \frac{37}{35}  \\&#10;x \ \textless \  \frac{23}{6} \times \frac{35}{37} \\&#10;x \ \textless \  \frac{805}{222}

Your final answer is x < \frac{805}{222} or x < 3 \frac{139}{222}.

What is the value of x?​
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

x ≈ 8.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin60° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{10}

Multiply both sides by 10

10 × sin60° = x, thus

x ≈ 8.66 ( to 2 dec. places )
