X= Rita's pay
1/2x + 40= Bill's pay


x + (1/2x + 40)= $520
combine like terms

1 1/2x + 40= 520
convert to improper fraction

3/2x + 40= 520
subtract 40 from both sides

3/2x= 480
divide both sides by 3/2

x= 480 ÷ 3/2
to divide fractions, multiply by reciprocal of 3/2

x= 480 * 2/3
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

x= (480*2)/(1*3)

x= 960/3

x= $320 Rita's pay


ANSWER: Rita's pay is $320 using
x + (1/2x + 40)= 520.

Hope this helps! :)

Omar has 2 3/4 cups of dough to make Dumplings. If he uses 3/16 cup of dough for each dumpling,how many whole dumplings can Omar
Brrunno [24]

Omar can make 14 whole dumplings. You change 2 3/4 cups to an improper fraction ( multiply the denominator and add the numerator ) and you get 11/4. Since you need 3/16 cups for one dumpling you have to find the greatest common denominator which is 16. You multiply 4 by 11 to get the numerator and end up with 44/16. Since you need 3/16 for one whole dumping you divide 44 by 3 and get 14.6 repeating. You cannot have a fraction of a dumpling so you round down and get the answer 14.

The equation of a line is<br> -2x+5t=-20 <br>what is the x-intercept of the line?
vampirchik [111]

The x intercept of the line is at x = 10.

The x intercept is always the value of x when all other values are equal to 0. So in this case, we put 0 in for t and then solve.

-2x + 5t = -20

-2x + 5(0) = -20

-2x = -20

x = 10

Use technology to find the line of best fit for the following data.
likoan [24]

Given:

The data points are:

(1, 0), (2, 3), (3,1), (4,4), (5,5)

To find:

The equation of best fit line in the form of y=mx+b and then find the value of b.

Solution:

The general form of best fit line is:

y=mx+b              ...(i)

Where, m is the slope of best fit line and b is the y-intercept of the line.

Using the graphing calculator, we get the equation for the best fit line and the equation is

y=1.1x-0.7          ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

b=-0.7

Therefore, the value of b is equal to -0.7.
