Answer:

x = -16 / 11

Explanation:

Twelve Less Than A number: x - 12

Is The Same As: =

Twelve Times The Number: 12x

Increased By Four: + 4

x - 12 = 12x + 4

Subtract 12x from both sides

x − 12 − 12x = 12x + 4 − 12x

−11x − 12 = 4

Add 12 to both sides

−11x − 12 + 12 = 4 + 12

−11x = 16

Divide both sides by -11

−11x / -11 = 16 / -11

x = -16 / 11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

lets find median 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 10, 13, 17

now lets find the lower quartile median and upper quartile median

we don't include the median in the count, only use it to divide the data into the two parts,

2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 10, 13, 17

so lower quartile median is 4,

2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 10, 13, 17

while upper quartile median is 10

the box represents the range between the upper quartile median and lower quartile median, thus is should go from 4 to 10 with the middle line, representing the median at 8,

the whiskers represent the whole data range

thus, the answer is C

Heather makes $6.50 per hour. Every three months, she is eligible for a 2% raise. How much will she make after 2 years if she ge

sammy [17]

Answer:

$7.62 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Heather gets a raise every 3 months, in 2 years, she will get a raise 8 times (2years = 24 months, 24 divided by 3 is 8).

Now it becomes a compound growth problem. We can use the formula shown below to solve these type of problems.

$F=P(1+r)^t$

Where,

F is the future value (what we want to find)
P is the present rate ($6.5)
r is the rate of growth, in decimal (2% growth means 0.02)
t is the time frame, number of times compounding occurs (for our case we have figured it to be 8)

Now plugging in all the info, we get the value of F:

$F=P(1+r)^t\\F=6.5(1+0.02)^8\\F=6.5(1.02)^8\\F=7.62$

Thus, after 2 years, Heather's hourly rate will be $7.62

Answer:

6.04 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Corbin want's to make a model, in which every 100 feet would be shown by 1 inch.

The monument is 604 feet in height.

Divide 604 with 100:

604/100 = 6.04

The height of Corbin's model would thereby be 6.04 inches.
