Answer: Robert earned $9426.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount earned by Robert.

Let y represent the amount earned by Noel.

Let z represent the amount earned by John.

Robert earns $512.75 less than Noel. This is expressed as

y = x + 512.75

John earns 3 times Robert's salary. This is expressed as

z = 3x

If the total salary earned by them is $47,645.25, it means that

x + y + z = 47645.25 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting z =3x and y = x + 512.75 into equation 1, it becomes

x + x + 512.75 + 3x = 47645.25

x + x + 3x = 47645.25 - 512.75

5x = 47132.5

x = 47132.5/5

x = 9426.5

y = x + 512.75 = 9426.5 + 512.75

y = 9939.25

z = 3x = 3 × 9426.5

z = 28279.8

Answer: Robert earns$9426.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question: Robert earns $512.75 less than Noel

noel's salary = x, robert's salary = y and john's salary = z

y = x - 512.75 ..........(1)

z = 3y = 3(x - 512.75) = 3x - 1538.25 ...............(2)

x + y + z = 47645.25..........................(3)

substitute for y and z

x + (x - 512.75) + (3x - 1538.25) = 47645.25

x + x - 512.75 + 3x - 1538.25 = 47645.25

5x = 47645.75 + 512.75 + 1538.25

5x = 49696.25

divide both sides by 5

x = 9939.25 ..... noel's salary

to get robert's salary substitute x in equation 1

y = 9939.25 - 512.75 = 9426.50

y = $9426.50..... robert's salary

What is the area of the squares with sides (2x-3)feet?​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

4x^2 -12x +9   ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is

A = s^2 where s is the side length

A = (2x-3) ^2

A = (2x-3) (2x-3)

FOIL

first 2x*2x =4x^2

outer 2x (-3) = -6x

inner -3*2x = -6x

last -3*-3 = 9

Add them together

4x^2 -6x-6x +9

Combine like terms

4x^2 -12x +9

The area is 4x^2 -12x +9 ft^2

Find the measure of each acute angle. Thank you!
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

55 for the top left and 35 for the top right

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

7x+6  + 6x -7 + 90 = 180

Combine like terms

13x+89 = 90

Subtract 89 from each side

13x+89-89 = 180-89

13x = 91

Divide by 13

13x/13 = 91/13

x =7

The top  left angle is

7x+6

7*7+6 = 49+6 = 55

The top right  angle is

6x-7

6*7-7 = 42-7 = 35
