check the picture below.


make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.

now, Charlie's eyes are 5.2' from the ground, however the distance from his eyes over the horizontal and the ground over the horizontal, is the same, so taking the tan(32°) at his eyes level will give that horizontal distance.

10. 2x + 7y = 1<br> 2x - 4y = 12<br> Solve for y
adoni [48]

Answer:

The solution for y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2x\ +\ 7y\ =\ 1    ....(1)

2x\ -\ 4y\ =\ 12  ....(2)

So, to solve for y, first we solve for x in equation (2):

2x-4y=12

⇒2x=12+4y

Dividing both sides by 2,

⇒x=6+2y            

Now, substituting the value of x  in equation (1):

2x+7y=1

⇒2(6+2y)+7y=1

⇒12+4y+7y=1

⇒12+11y=1

⇒11y=1-12

⇒11y=-11

Dividing both sides by 11,

⇒y=-1

Therefore, the solution for y = -1.

Answer:

I think is -x + 105/42y

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3/10)x - 5/7y - 4(5/6)y - 2(4/5)x

6/10x - 5/7y - 20/6y - 8/5x

6/10x - 8/5x - 5/7y - 20/6y

6-16/10x - 35+140/42y

-10/10x + 105/42y

-x + 105/42y

PLEASE I AM BEGGING help me all I need to so is show work I have to turn this in tmrw pls​
GenaCL600 [577]

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:

<u>Let's consider all the information given</u>:

  1. Eddie's pension is based on the average of his last four year's salaries

           \hookrightarrow \text{average } = \text {sum of all salaries} / \text{ number of years}\\ \hookrightarrow \text{average}= 392000 / 4 = 98000

   

      2. The employer will pay 1.2% of that average for each year he worked

            \hookrightarrow \text{1.2 percent of average} = \frac{1.2}{100} *98000=1176

      3. The employer will therefore pay in total

             \hookrightarrow \text{Total pension} = 1176 * 20 \text{ years} = 23520

<u>Answer: $23520</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!
