2e - 12 = 7e + 8. We need to solve for e.
First, subtract 7e from each side to get the variables on a side and the numbers on the other:
2e - 12 = 7e + 8
2e - 12 - 7e = 7e + 8 - 7e
-5e - 12 = 8
We need too to add 12:
-5e - 12 + 12 = 8 + 12
-5e = 20
Now you divide each side by -5 so you can get the variable e alone on the first side, and its value on the other:
(-5e)/-5 = 20/-5
e = -4 (20/-5 = -4; Do not forget that when dividing a positive number by a negative number, the result is strictly negative!!)

You can recheck your answer (very important):
2e - 12 = 2*(-4) - 12 = -8-12 = -20
7e + 8 = 7(-4) + 8 = -28 + 8 = -20
So 2e - 12 = 7e + 8 = -20
The answer has been approved.

Hope this Helps! :)

Allison is offered an annual salary of $24,500. What would be her biweekly gross pay? (Round to the nearest cent.) A. $2,041.67
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Allison biweekly gross pay is $942.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given annual salary offered to Allison  = $24,500.

We have to calculate Allison biweekly pay that is pay Allison got for 2 weeks

To calculate biweekly we first find Allison weekly pay then multiply it by 2.

We know there are 52 weeks in a year.

So, weekly salary offered to Allison =\frac{24500}{52}=471.15(approx)

Biweekly salary will be = 2 × weekly salary

                                      = 2  × 471.15

                                       = 942.307(approx)

Thus, Allison biweekly gross pay is $942.31

A farmer plans to fence a rectangular corral. The diagonal distance from one corner of the corral to the opposite corner is five
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Length of diagonal is 7.3 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diagonal distance from one corner of the corral to the opposite corner is five yards longer than the width of the corral. The length of the corral is three times the width.

To find: The length of the diagonal of the corral.

Solution: Let the width of the rectangular garden be <em>x</em> yards.

So, the length of the diagonal is x+5

width of the rectangular corral is 3x

We know that the square of the diagonal is sum of the squares of the length and width.

So,

(3x)^{2} +x^{2} =(x+5)^{2}

9x^{2} +x^{2} =x^{2}+10x+25

9x^{2}-10x-25=0

9x^{2}-10x-25=0

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}

x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{(-10)^{2} -4(9)(-25)} }{2(9)}

x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{100}}{18}

Since, side can't be negative.

x=\frac{5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}\sqrt{10}

Now, length of the diagonal is

5+\frac{5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}\sqrt{10}

Hence, length of diagonal is 7.3 yards.
