You can try this way:
x - last year´s salary, raise: 4% = 0.04 ( 100%+4% = 104% = 1.04 )
x · 1.04 = 44,200
x = 44,200 : 1.04
x = 42,500
Last year´s salary was $42,500.

3(x-6)^4+11=15 solve for x

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

x = 7.07 or 4.925

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-6)^4+11=15

3(x-6)^4=15-11

(x-6)^4=4/3

x-6 = + $\sqrt[4]{4/3}$ or - $\sqrt[4]{4/3}$

x= + $\sqrt[4]{4/3}$ +6 or - $\sqrt[4]{4/3}$ +6

x = 7.07 or 4.925

PLEASE HELP {It costs 5,700 every one sixth of an hour to build a hotel how many cents does building a hotel cost per second?}

Keith_Richards [23]

One sixth of an hour is 10 minutes.
That means it costs 5,700 every 10 minutes.

Costs 5,700 = 10 minutes

Dive 10 on both sides.

Costs 570 = 1 minute

Lets convert the minute into seconds.

Costs 570 = 60 seconds

Divide both sides by 60.

Costs 9.5 cents = 1 second

Round it off since you can't pay 9.5 cents.

Costs 10 cents = 1 second

This means that every second they pay 10 cents for the hotel. :D

Mr. cringle found a box of handmade holiday greeting cards in his garage and decided to make more to send to all his friends. Af

yawa3891 [41]

Well if he made 10 in 4 hours, that means he made 5 in 2 hours. after 2 hours he had 30 cards, so that means he started with 25 cards. Mr. Cringle is making 2 and 1/2 cards per hour.
