J: 1/12
m: 1/12
i think this is the answer. hope it helps :)
X + (4x+15) = 180
5x+15=180
5x=165
x=33
4(33)+15=147. (Or you could subtract 33 from 180)
Check answer: 33+147=180 yes
Answer:
therefore the side of the square is 2x + 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) let the side of the square be a
ii) therefore the perimeter of the square = 4a
iii) therefore 4a = 8x + 20
iv) therefore a = 2x + 5
therefore the side of the square is 2x + 5.
17. On average, Nestor works 7.5 hours of overtime in 4 weeks, so works an average of 7.5/4 = 1.875 overtime hours per week.
On average, each week Nestor gets paid for 7.5×5 + 2×1.875 = 41.25 hours, so is paid*
... (41.25 h)×($7.42/h) = $306.075
Each week Rita gets paid for 8×5 + 1.5×3 = 44.5 hours, so is paid
... (44.5 h)×($7.64/h) = $339.98
Their combined earning for a week are $306.075 + 339.98 = $646.055, so over a period of 12 weeks, they are paid a total of
... (12 weeks)×($646.055/week) = $7,752.66
18. Assuming Robin is paid time and a half for overtime, she was paid for
... 40 + 1.5×6 = 49 . . . hours
Then her hourly pay was ($392/week)/(49 hours/week) = $8.00 per hour
___
* The half-cent that shows up in Nestor's average weekly pay does not actually show up in Nestor's paycheck. Here, it is an artifact of dividing his monthly hour total by 4 to get a weekly average. Nestor's total pay for any given week is whole number of cents.
