Answer:
Karl works 7 hours a week
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine total amount that Sally earns
Total amount Sally earns=rate per hour×number of hours worked(h)
where;
Rate per hour=$7 per hour
Number of hours worked=h
Replacing;
Total amount Sally earns=(7×h)=7 h
Step 2: Determine total amount Karl earns
Total amount Karl earns=rate per hour×number of hours worked
where;
rate per hour=$5
number of hours worked=2 more than Sally=h+2
replacing;
Total amount Karl earns=5(h+2)
Step 3: Equate Sally's total earnings to Karl's total earnings and solve for h
7 h=5(h+2)
7 h=5 h+10
7 h-5 h=10
2 h=10
h=10/2
h=5
Karl works (h+2) hours=(5+2)= 7 hours
Karl works 7 hours a week
Answer: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2 (real) solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic always has two solutions, whether they are real or complex.
Sometimes the solution is complex, involving complex numbers (2 complex), sometimes they are real and distinct (2 real), and sometimes they are real and coincident (still two real, but they are the same).
In the case of
x^2+3x = 3, or
x² + 3x -3 = 0
we apply the quadratic formula to get
x = (-3 +/- sqrt(3^2+4(1)(3))/2
to give the two solutions
{(sqrt(21)-3)/2, -(sqrt(21)+3)/2,}
both of which are real.
Here are some formulas...
percent increase = (new number - original number) / original number...* 100
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100
============
a student raises her grade from a 75 to a 90....since it is going from a smaller number to a larger number, u have an increase
percent increase = (90 - 75) / 70....* 100
= 15/70 * 100
= 0.2142 * 100
= 21.42 rounds to 21.4% increase
-------------------------
36.50 on sale for 32.12...since it goes from a larger number to a smaller number, u have a decrease
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original * 100
= (36.50 - 32.12) / 32.12...* 100
= 4.38 / 32.12...* 100
= 0.1363...* 100
= 13.63 rounds to 13.6% decrease
------------------------------
23.5 to 21.2......this is a decrease
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original...* 100
= (23.5 - 21.2) / 23.5....* 100
= 2.3 / 23.5....* 100
= 0.0979 * 100
= 9.79 rounds to 9.8% decrease
Answer:
x = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 9 = 153
subtract 9 from both sides -9 -9
3x = 144
divide both sides by 3 3x/3 = 144/3
2x + (x + 9) = 153
2(48) + (48 + 9) = 153
96 + 57 = 153
153 = 153
