2x + 3y = 45
x + y = 10......y = 10 - x
2x + 3(10 - x) = 45
2x + 30 - 3x = 45
-x + 30 = 45
-x = 45 - 30
-x = 15
x = -15 <====
and y = 25
Because there was a pay rise, we can write the equation as x+0.04x = 24.492 and solve for x.
x+0.04x = 24.492
1.04x = 24.492
x=23.55
His original pay was £23.55
The mixed number as an improper fraction is 37/8
<h3>How to express the mixed number as an improper fraction?</h3>
The diameter is give as:
Diameter = 4 5/8
Next we convert the above number to an improper fraction
The numerator is calculated as
Numerator = 8 * 4 + 5
This gives
Numerator = 37
Hence, the mixed number as an improper fraction is 37/8

Given parameters:
Length of earring hook = 1.5cm
Length of given wire = 45cm
Dimension of the triangle = 3.2cm, 3.2cm and 2.1cm
Unknown:
Number of earrings that can be made from the wire = ?
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total length of the earring we want to make.
Total earring length = Perimeter of earring + length of earring hook
= 3.2 + 3.2 + 2.1 + 1.5
= 10cm
Now the length of the wire is 45cm,
Number of earrings = 
= 4.5 earrings
But this is not reasonable, therefore, we can only forge 4 complete earrings from the given length with 5cm of wire remaining.
The number of earrings that can be made is 4.
