28.80 + .20X = X

.20X = X - 28.80

1/5 = .20

X/5 = X -28.80

X = 5X - 144

Set the new X equal to the original X

28.80 + .20X = 5X - 144

172.8 + .20X = 5X

172.8 = 4.8X

36 = X

36$ is the original price

To check,

28.80 + (.20 x 36) = 36

28.80 + 7.2 = 36

36 = 36

if the graph of f(x)=x^2 is shifted 4 units to the left, then what would be the equation of the new graph?​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Be careful. You can be confused by shifting left or right because the result is the opposite of what you might think.

f(x) = x^2

f(x + 4) = (x + 4)^2

To show you this in graphical form, see below.

Red: f(x) = x^2

Blue: f(x) = (x+4)^2 Notice that the blue graph is the the LEFT of the red graph

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The percentage increase in worker wages in hourly rate of pay is 16.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Initial wages earn by worker = $ 5.15 per hour

The Final wages earn by worker = $ 6 per hour

Let The percentage increase in her hourly rate of pay = x %

Now, According to question

x % = \dfrac{\textrm Final earning - \textrm Initail earning}{\textrm Initial earning}

or, x =  \dfrac{\textrm $ 6 - \textrm $ 5.15}{\textrm $ 5.15} × 100

or, x = \frac{0.85}{5.15} × 100

or, x = 0.165 × 100

∴   x = 16.5%

So , Percentage increase in wages = x = 16.5 %

Hence The percentage increase in worker wages in hourly rate of pay is 16.5% Answer
