Answer: 426.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that she spent 34.12 on gas and you also know that that amount of money was the 8% of her paycheck.

Therefore, keeping the above on mind, you can write the following expression, where x is the total amount of money of her paycheck:

0.08x=34.12

When you solve for  x, you obtain the result shown below:

x=\frac{34.12}{0.08}\\\\x=426.5

Solve the system of equations by graphing: 2x + 3y = 2 6x + 18y = 9
cluponka [151]
The answer is  A: x=1/2 , y= 1/3

Solve the following system:
{2 x + 3 y = 2 | (equation 1)
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 1)
{2 x + 3 y = 2 | (equation 2)

Subtract 1/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 3:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -1:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x+3 y = 1 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 3:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

Subtract 6 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{2 x+0 y = 1 | (equation 1)
v0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 2:
{x+0 y = 1/2 | (equation 1)
v0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

Collect results:
Answer:  {x = 1/2, y = 1/3

Your carry-on bag can weigh at most 40 pounds.Select an inequality that represents how much more weight x (in pounds) you can ad
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

22 + x ≤ 40

x ≤ 18 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum weight = 40 pounds

Initial weight = 22 pounds

Let Maximum weight that can be added = x

Mathematically, this means :

Initial weight + additional weight ≤ 40

That is ;

22 + x ≤ 40

Additional weight, x :

x ≤ 40 - 22

x ≤ 18 pounds

Function g is defined below.
Elina [12.6K]
Rule: if you have graph of function y=f(x) and a>0, then:
1. y=f(x-a) is translation a units right;
2. y=f(x+a) is translation a units left;
3. y=f(x)-a is translation a units down;
4. y=f(x)+a is translation a units up;

Since g(x)=f(x+2)-5, then firstly you have to translate the graph of function y=f(x) two units left and secondly 5 units down.

Input 
the value of the radius (\frac{d}{2}):
V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (2)^3

Solve using the Order of Operations:
V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (8)

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{8}{1}

V=\frac{32}{3}\pi

The Answer Is:
\boxed{V=33.510322}

I hope this helped!
