Answer:

Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar an hour more than 5/4 the amount hamish earns per hour. harry earns per hour is 2$ less than 7/5 the amount hamish earns per hour. how much do each of them make an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x is the  amount Harry earns 

y is the amount Hamish earns 

x=(5/4)y+1 ⇒ (x-1)*4/5 = y-------- equation 1

x=(7/5)y-2⇒ (x+2)*5/7 = y-------- equation 2

equals 1 and 2

(x-1)*4/5 = (x+2)*5/7

(4x-4)/5 = (5x+10)/7

(4x-4)*7 = (5x+10)*5

28x-28 = 25x+50

28x-25x = 50+28

3x = 78

x = 26

substitute x = 26 for y=(x-1)*4/5

y = (x-1)*4/5

y =  (26-1)*4/5

y = 20

the answer is

<h3>Harry earns $26 an hour</h3><h3>Hamish earns  $20 an hour</h3>

You would subtract 11 on both sides of the equation.
Then multiply the reciprocal of 1/2 which is 2.
And you should get -16 as your answer <span />

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate following the order set out in the acronym PEMDAS

That is parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction

Given

(5 + 1)² - (11 + 3² ) ÷ 4

= 6² - (11 + 9) ÷ 4

= 36 - 20 ÷ 4 ← division before subtraction

= 36 - 5

= 31

polet [3.4K]
2x^2 - 7 

we can plug any values of x into this The domain is All Real x.

The graph will be a parabola opening upwards with a minimum value  when x = 0  and  f(x) will be = -7

so the range is  f(x) <= -7    or  (-∞, -7]
