Answer:

y = b + kn

Step-by-step explanation:

In any given year, the salary of each will be given by the equation

y = b + kn where

y = Salary

b= Initial salary before increment

k= Increment

n= is the year in question

Thus, this can be proven by equating the salaries of both workers.

Jose's salary will be $48,000 + $2800n

Victor's salary will be $59000 + $1700n

Thus, to get the particular year, we equate both as

$48,000 + $2800n = $59000 + $1700n

$2800n -$1700n =$59,000 - $48,000

       $1100n =$11000

Canceling the dollar signs throughout, we get

n = 11000/1100 = 10 years.

If you worked his out, you will get that in the 10th year, both salaries will be $76,000.

Thus, the equation is

y = b + kn

with the variables as explained above.

X(5)+2=244<br>help pls<br>(^_^)​
arsen [322]

Simplify both sides of the equation

  • 5x+2=244

Subtract 2 from both sides

  • 5x+2−2=244−2
  • 5x=242

Divide both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5}  =  \frac{242}{5}

  • Answer

\: x =  \dfrac{242}{5}

OR

\: x =  48.4

Answer:

I've had this debate with my friend so many times! In personal belief, I came to the conclusion that it would most likely be an icewing. Being that rain is a main component of ice, and ice is dominant over rain. My friend tried to say it would be a snowwing, and she wouldn't explain her reasoning.

y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+5y=-8 ----------- (1)

-4x-4y=4 -----------(2)

Adding equation (1) and (2)

4x+5y-4x-4y=-8+4

y=-4

Substitute y=-4 in equation (1) or (2)

4x+5(-4)=-8

4x-20=-8\\4x=-8+20\\4x=12\\x=3
