ffee cart and earns $36.50. On Tuesday, he works 2 hours at the library and 5 hours at the coffee cart and earns $50. His hourly wage at the library, x, and hourly wage at the coffee cart, y, can be determined using the system of equations below.
3x + 2y = 36.50

2x + 5y = 50.00

17% of what number is 3.4
saw5 [17]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

We already have our first value 3.4 and the second value 17. Let's assume the unknown value is Y which answer we will find out.

As we have all the required values we need, Now we can put them in a simple mathematical formula as below:

Step 1 ---> 3.4 = 17% × Y

Step 2 ---> 3.4 = 17/100 × Y

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides of the equation by 17 we will arrive at:

Step 3 ---> Y = 3.4 × 100/17

Step 4 ---> Y = 3.4 × 100 ÷ 17

Step 5 ---> Y = 20

Finally, we have found the value of Y which is 20 and that is our answer.

<h3><u>*You can easily calculate 3.4 is 17 percent of what number by using any regular calculator, simply enter 3.4 × 100 ÷ 17 and you will get your answer which is 20*</u></h3>

What is the value is of x?<br><br> A)0<br><br> B)25<br><br> C)4<br><br> D)7
iogann1982 [59]

We know that these two angles are equal to each other (There is the "congruent" sign) so we can set them equal to each other and solve for x

3x - 17 = 25 - 3x

(3x + 3x) - 17 = 25 + (-3x + 3x)

6x + (- 17 + 17) = 25 + 17

6x/6 = 42/6

x = 7

Hope this helped!

Evaluate 3/7 r + 5/8 s when r is 14 and s is 8
forsale [732]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Making the appropriate substitutions, we get

3/7 r + 5/8 s  =>  3/7 (14) + 5/8 (8).

Notice how this can reduced:

                             3(14)            5(8)

                           ----------- +     ---------   =   6 + 5 = 11

                                  7                8

A rectangular picture from has a length of 7 inches and a width
mezya [45]

Answer:

8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

This uses the Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 5

b = 7

c = ?

5^2 + 7^2 = c^2

25 + 49 = c^2

74 = c^2

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(74)

c = 8.60 which when rounded = 8.6
