Answer:

$x=-2.176 approx.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

$-34(x+2)=6$

Opening the bracket

$-34(x)+(-34)(2)=6$

$-34x+(-68)=6\\\\-34x-68=6$

Taking the terms of 'x' to one side and constants to the other side.

$-34x=6+68$

$-34x=74\\\\x=-\frac{74}{34} \\\\x =-2.176approx.$

Find the values of x and y

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

x = 3, y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2 raised to what power gives you 16?

2*2*2*2 = 16 so 2^4

3 raised to what power gives you 9?

3*3 = 9 so 3^2

the exponent cannot be negative so x has to be greater than y and x cannot be the same as y otherwise you will get a 0.

x = 3 , y = 1

2^(3+1) = 2^4 = 16

3^(3-1) = 3^2 = 9

Susan is trying to decide between two jobs. One job pays $12 per hour for the first 36 hours and $15 per hour for any additional

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

For the first question (For which job will she earn more if she works 40 hours a week), the answer is the second job.

For the second question (How much more per year will this be if she works 50 weeks per year), the answer is 25$ extra a year.

First i multiplied $12 times 36.

$12 x 36 = $432

Then i multiplied $15 times 4.

$15 x 4 = $60

Now add those together

$432 + $60 = $492

That's how much she would make in a week for the first job, if she worked 40 hours a week.

For the second job, i did the exact same process.

$11.50 x 35 = $402.5

$18 x 5 = $90

$402.5 + $90 = $492.5

She would get 50 more cents a week, if she worked 40 hours a week.

For the second question, i multiplied the first job total by 50, since she is working 50 weeks a year.

$492 x 50 = $24,600

Thats her total of a year, for the first job.

Do this with the second job.

$492.5 x 50 = $24,625

As you can see, she would get $25 more in the second job, than the first job.

I hope this helped!

Uhhh-

Step2247 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

We have y = 3x - 4 as line L.

Slope of line L = 3

=> Slope of line L2 = -1/3

We have y = -1/3 x + c as our line L2 equation.

When x = 9, y = 5.

=> (5) = -1/3 * (9) + c

=> 5 = c - 3, c = 8

Hence the answer is y = -1/3 x + 8.

Which inequality has an arrow pointing to the left when the solution set is graphed on a number line?

kupik [55]

Answer:

$x \le 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Options (a) to (d)

Required

Which represents an arrow pointing left

When an arrow points left on an inequality graph, the inequality is either of the following:

$x < a$ or $x \le a$

From the given options (a) to (d), only $x \le 5$ fits the above description.

Other options illustrate an arrow pointing to the right

To further explain this;

Looking at (b), we have:

$4 \le x$

This is rewritten as:

$x \ge 4$ --- the same form as (c) and (d)
