She gets a 4% raise so her new pay is 100% + 4% of her previous pay.

104% = 1.04 as a decimal.

Divide her new pay by 1.04:

24,960 / 1.04 = 24,000

Her previous pay was $24,000

6 times the sum of 3 consecutive odd intergers is -18
Lyrx [107]
The answer: The 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________
To represent 3 (three consecutive odd integers):
____________________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer.
____________________________________
The sum of these three consecutive odd integers:
__________________________________________
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 3x + 6 ;
_________________________________________
Six ("6") times the sum of these 3 (three) consecutive odd integers =
_________________
6*(3x+6) = 6(3x + 6) = -18 (as given in the problem).
_____________________________________________
Given: 6(3x + 6) = -18 ; We can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "6", to cancel the "6" on the left-hand side into a "1"; 
__________________________________________
{6(3x + 6) } / 6 = -18 / 6 ;  to get:
________________________________________
3x + 6 = -3 ; Now, we can subtract "6" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
__________________________________
3x + 6 - 6 = -3 - 6 ; to get:
__________________________________
3x = -9 ; Now, we can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "3"; to isolate "x" on one side of the question; and solve for "x" ;
___________________________________
3x / 3 = -9 / 3 ;  x = - 3 ;
_____________________
Remember, from above:
__________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.  We know that "x = -3".
         Is this an odd integer? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.  So (x+2) = (-3+2) = -1.
        Is this an odd integer? Yes!  Is this "{-1}" the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-3}"? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer. So (x+4) = (-3+4) = 1.
       Is this an odd integer? Yes!  Is this "{1"} the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-1}"? Yes!
___________________________
So, our 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
___________________________
To check our work: Is 6 times the sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers, equal to "(-18)" ?

The sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers = -3 + (-1) + 1 = -3 - 1 + 1 = -3.

6 * -3 = ? -18? Yes!

Tyra made 8 fewer jackets than zack they made 48 jackets altogether how many jackets did zac make
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Zac Made 28 Jackets

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I solved it is by first dividing 48 by 2.

After that I subtracted 8 from Tyra's jackets and then guessed and checked.

I eventually got to the point where i found that Tyra made 20 jackets and Zac made 28 making up to 48 jackets in total.

Beth has 250 comic books in her collection. She begins to sell 20 of them each week. Martin has 80 comic books in his collection
guapka [62]

Answer:

250 - 20 < 80 + 15x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Beth has 250 books and 20 books sold each week

While on the other hand, Martin has 80 books and sell 15 books each week

Let us assume each week be x

Now the equations are  

Beth         250 - 20x            

Martin       80 + 15 x

Now the inequality would be

250 - 20 < 80 + 15x
