Answer:

x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  = a 30 day period

The first equation is 50 - 2x (because you start with $50 and subtract 2 for each 30 day period)

The second equation is 40-1.5x

Set them equal to each other:  50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5x

Solve for x:

50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5 x

    +2x         +2x

-----------------------

50 = 40 + 0.5 x

-40   -40

-------------------

10 = 0.5 x

20 = x

So there will be 20 30-day periods until the cards will be equal in value.

Check:  After 20 periods, 50 - 2(20) = $10 left

40 - 1.5(20) = also $10 left

Answer:

  $3144

Step-by-step explanation:

The tax due on $60,000 is ...

  $60,000 × 5.4% - $96 = $3144 . . . tax due

_____

The detailed calculation is described at brainly.com/question/23711444. The only difference is the value used in the highest bracket, $60,000 instead of $50,000. This adds $540 to the tax that would be due for $50,000.

Stan worked 4 years less than Marco.This year Stan has worked 29 years.If b is how long Marco worked, the equation b - 4 = 29 re
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Add 4 on both sides.

In the equation there is a -4.

If -4+4=0, that is how you would get rid of the -4.

But, you need to add 4 to 29 to really get rid of the -4.

So, 29+4 is 33.

b=33

A low-strength children’s/adult chewable aspirin tablet contains 81 mg of aspirin per tablet. How many tablets may be prepared f
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

12,345 tablets may be prepared from 1 kg of aspirin.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states that low-strength children’s/adult chewable aspirin tablets contains 81 mg of aspirin per tablet. And asks how many tablets may be prepared from 1 kg of aspirin.

Since the problem measures the weight of a tablet in kg, the first step is the conversion of 81mg to kg.

Each kg has 1,000,000mg. So

1kg - 1,000,000mg

xkg - 81mg.

1,000,000x = 81

x = \frac{81}{1,000,000}

x = 0.000081kg

Each tablet generally contains 0.000081kg of aspirin. How many such tablets may be prepared from 1 kg of aspirin?

1 tablet - 0.000081kg

x tablets - 1kg

0.000081x = 1

x = \frac{1}{0.000081}

x = 12,345 tablets

12,345 tablets may be prepared from 1 kg of aspirin.
