The two numbers would be 12 and 8 because 12 is 4 more than 8 and so the sum of 12 and 8 is 20.

X=y+4 
x+y=20

now substitute the x for (y+4) in the second equation
(y+4)+y=20
2y+4=20
2y=16
y=8
now substitute 8 for y in the first equation 
x=8+4
x=12
so y=8 and x=12

Job A: $15.00 per hour (40 hours a week)​​Job B: $1,375 semi-monthly
blagie [28]

Notes before we start:

Semi-monthly means you get paid twice a week. We will find out the net pay in 2 weeks to see how much pays better.

Explanation:

Job A pays $15 an hour and whoever is working works 40 hours a week. We can multiply to find how much he/she earns in 2 weeks.

15 * 40 * 2 = $1,200

Job B pays $1,375 semi monthly which means that he/she got paid that much money in 2 weeks.

Answer:

Job B pays better.

Best of Luck!

At the beginning of the year, the number of books owned by a library was 10,000. Since then, it has grown by 1% each month.
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

y = 10(1.01)^60

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of exponential growth is

y = ab^x

b has to do with the rate of growth.

b = 1 + r, so in this case, b = 1 + 1% = 1 + 0.01 = 1.01.

Now we have

y = a(1.01)^x

a is the initial value, so now we have

y = 10000(1.01)^x

where y is the number of books after x months

Since you need the number of books after 5 years, we must convert 5 years into months.

5 years * (12 months)/year = 60 months

The problem wants the expression in thousands of books, so we divide the initial value by 1000.

Answer: y = 10(1.01)^60
