Step-by-step explanation:

Expression of Sayed weekly earnings = 8.50t + (1.5)(8.50)p = 8.50t + 12.75p

where t is the number of hours worked regularly and p is number of hours worked overtime.

Part 1)

Given t = 36 and p = 4,

Gross Weekly earnings = 8.50(36) + 12.75(4)

= 306 + 51

=$357

Part 2)

Given Gross weekly earnings = $420.75 and t=36,

8.50(36) + 12.75p =420.75

306 + 12.75p = 420.75

12.75p = 420.75-306

12.75p = 114.75

p = 114.75÷12.75

p=9

Solve for x with a step by step explanation please (3/5)x+1/4=(3/4)x-2/5

Answer:

$\frac{3 \times 4}{5 \times 4} x - \frac{3 \times 5}{4 \times 5} x = - \frac{2 \times 4}{5 \times 4} - \frac{1 \times 4}{5 \times 4}$

$\frac{12x - 15x}{20} = \frac{ - 8 - 4}{20}$

/·20

12x-15x = -8-4

-3x= -12. /·(-1)

3x=12

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{5} x - \frac{3}{4} x = - \frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{4}$

Which equation is equal to 4a+2b=10 A. b=-2a+10 B. 2a+5 C. b=-2a+5 D. b=2a+10

nata0808 [166]

4a + 2b = 10

you are solving for b

isolate the b

subtract 4a from both sides

4a (-4a) + 2b = 10 (-4a)

2b = 10 - 4a

divide 2 from both sides to isolate the b

2b(/2) = (10 - 4a)/2

b = (10 - 4a)/2

b = 5 - 2a

C) b = -2a + 5 is your answer

hope this helps
