Before answering these questions, we need to write out both equations.
For Job 'A', his salary would be: 55,000 + 2,500n
This assumes 'n' equals the number of years Lenny spends at these companies. 
For Job 'B', his salary would be: 62,000 + 2,000n

A.
So basically we need to find a number were:
55,000 + 2,500n = 62,000 + 2,000n
is true. So basically solve ^that^ equasion.
55,000 + 2,500n = 62,000 + 2,000n
simplify
500n = 7,000
devide
n = 14
Fourteen years is your answer.

B.
     a. 55,000 + 2,500n
     b. 62,000 + 2,000n
So in order to answer this question, you basically just have to replace 'n' with the number '20', and see which one's bigger.
a. 
55,000 + 2,500(20)
55,000 + 50,000
105,000
b.
62,000 + 2,000(20)
62,000 + 40,000
102,000
105,000 > 102,000
So your answer is:
Lenny should go to company 'a' because 105,000 is greater than 102,000.
[[tip: If you want to wow, surprise, or confuse your teacher (depending on her actual intelligence) write something like, 'another reason Lenny should choose company 'a' is because it gives higher annual raises, which is better in long-term.' He/She may not get it though, lol, wrong class.]] 

Anyway, I hope this helped! :D

A frozen dinner is divided into 3 sections on a circular plate with a 12-inch diameter. The central angle formed by the peach co
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

D. 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A frozen dinner is divided into 3 sections on a circular plate with a 12-inch diameter.

That means complete angle having 360° is divided into 3 section.

The central angle formed by the peach cobbler is 105 degrees.

The central angle formed by the pasta is 203 degrees.

<u>Question asked:</u>

What is the approximate length of the arc of the section containing the peas?

<u>Solution:</u>

The central angle formed by the peas = 360° - 105° - 203°

                                                                = 52°

Ridius,r=\frac{Dameter}{2} =\frac{12}{2} =6\ inches

As we know:

Length\ of\ arc=2\pi r\times\frac{\Theta }{360}

                        =2\times\frac{22}{7} \times6\times\frac{52}{360} \\ \\ =\frac{13728}{2520} \\ \\ =5.44\ inches

Therefore, the approximate length of the arc of the section containing the peas are 5 inches.

Equation with angles can someone please answer helpppp
Elden [556K]

Answer:

x = 18°\\\angle A = 73°

Step-by-step explanation:

By interior angle property on one side of the transversal.

\angle A+ \angle B = 180°\\6x - 35° + 3x + 53°  = 180°\\9x + 18° = 180°\\9x = 180° - 18°\\9x = 162°\\x = \frac{162°}{9}\\ \huge \red {\boxed {x = 18°}} \\\therefore \angle A = 6x - 35°\\\therefore \angle A = 6\times 18°- 35°\\\therefore \angle A = 108°- 35°\\ \huge \purple {\boxed{\therefore \angle A = 73°}} \\
