First, you should equalize the denominator of first and second fraction. If the denominator multiplies by (x-5), so does the numerator. If the denominator multiplies by (x+3), so does the numerator.
(Look into my attachment at the second row)

Second, simplify the algebraic form for the numerator.
(Look into my attachment at the fourth row)

Third, simplify the denominator

You earn $20.00 per hour at your job. If you get a 10% raise at the end of each year, what will your hourly rate, h, be after 8

lesya [120]

The answer is $42.87

$h = C(1 +r)^{t}$

We know:
C = $20.00
r = 10% = 10%/100% = 0.1
t = 8 years
h = ?

h = 20 * (1 + 0.1)⁸
h = 20 * (1.1)⁸
h = $42.87

Michael pays his cell phone service provider $49.95 per month for 500 minutes. Any additional minutes used cost $0.15 each. In J

arsen [322]

y = total cost used.

x = additional minutes

y = $49.95 + $0.15x

$61.20 = $49.95 + $0.15x. Subtract the $49.95 from each side.

$11.25 = $0.15x. Divide each side by $0.15

75 = x.

Michael used 75 additional minutes.
