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

Jeremy swims 5 3/5 kilometers in a 7 day period. He swims the same distance each day. What distance does he swim?
PIT_PIT [208]
Since 5 3/5 can be turned into 28/5, then divided by 7/1, you will get 4/5. So Jeremy swims 4/5 of a kilometer each day.

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear model represents the height, f(x), of a water balloon thrown off the roof of a building over time, x, measured in seconds: A linear model with ordered pairs at 0, 60 and 2, 75 and 4, 75 and 6, 40 and 8, 20 and 10, 0 and 12, 0 and 14, 0. The x axis is labeled Time in seconds, and the y axis is labeled Height in feet. Part A: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height increasing? (2 points) Part B: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height staying the same? (2 points) Part C: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height decreasing the fastest? Use complete sentences to support your answer. (3 points) Part D: Use the constraints of the real-world situation to predict the height of the water balloon at 16 seconds.

Answer:

Part A:

Between 0 and 2 seconds, the height of the balloon increases from 60 feet to 75 feet  at a rate of 7.5 ft/s

Part B:

Between 2 and 4 seconds, the height stays constant at 75 feet.

Part C:

Between 4 and 6 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 75 feet to 40 feet at a rate of -17.5 ft/s

Between 6 and 8 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 40 feet to 20 feet at a rate of -10 ft/s

Between 8 and 10 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 20 feet to 0 feet at a rate of -10 ft/s

Hence it fastest decreasing rate is -17.5 ft/s which is between 4 to 6 seconds.

Part D:

From 10 seconds, the balloon is at the ground (0 feet), it continues to remain at 0 feet even at 16 seconds.
