Answer: 48,000 + 2,800x = 59,000 + 1,700x

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.

Next number in the sequence 1 4 9 16 25
Anarel [89]

The next number in the sequence is 36.

Starting from 1, the number increases by 3, 1 + 3 = 4. But the next number, the number it's being increased by increases by 2. 3 + 2 = 5, 4 + 5 = 9. And again, 5 + 2 = 7, 7 + 9 = 16. And again. 7 + 2 = 9, 16 + 9 = 25. Therefore, it is increased to + 11, and the next number is 36.

I hope this helped, and you have a great day!

A particular convex pentagon has two congruent, acute angles. The measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the s
NNADVOKAT [17]

1. First, you must apply the formula for calculate the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon, which is shown below:


 (n-2) × 180°


 "n" is the number of sides of the polygon (n=5).


 2. Then, the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon, is:


 (5-2)x180°=540°


 3. The problem says that the measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the sum of the measures of the two acute angles and now you know that the sum of all the angles is 540°, then, you have:


 α+α+2α+2α+2α=540°

 8α=540°

 α=540°/8

 α=67.5°


 4. Finally, the larger angle is:


 2α=2(67.5°)=135°


 5. Therefore, the answer is: 135°

"In the diagram, m = 128° and m = 76°. What is mABC?
wel
Angle ABC is an inscribed angle.

Inscribed angle = 1/2 * Intercepted Arc

The intercepted arc is arc CD + arc DA, which would be 128 + 76 = 204

m<ABC = 1/2(204)

m<ABC = 102 degrees

You answer is D) 102
