Answer:

Joe worked 3 hours overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t = number of hours overworked

425 + 20 × t = 485

425 + 20t = 485

20t = 485 - 425

     = 60

\frac{20t}{20} = \frac{60}{20}

t = 3

\therefore Joe worked 3 hours over time.

Hope this helps :)

Mrs. Bailey gives a test, and her students’ scores range from 30 to 70. She decides to curve the scores, so that they range from
Harman [31]

Answer:

f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The original difference between the pair is 70 - 30 = 40

The new difference between the pair is 95 - 65 = 30

Since the differences are not the same, Mrs Bailey must first perform a (slope) multiplication by a factor of 30/40 or 3/4

Then 30 * 3/4 = 22.5

Then she can shift the scores up by 65 - 22.5 = 42.5 in order to get the range from 65 to 95

Therefore, f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5. We can test that

f(30) = 30*3/4 + 42.5 = 65

f(70) = 70*3/4 + 42.5 = 95

Enter the value for x that makes the equation 1/2 (4x+12)+5x=30 true.
8090 [49]
First, distribute the (1/2) into (4x+12) by multiplying them.

The equation becomes:

2x + 6 + 5x = 30

On the left side, combine “like terms” through addition.

7x + 6 = 30

Subtract 6 from both sides:

7x = 24

Finally, get x alone by dividing both sides by 7:

x = 24/7, or if you wanted to round the decimal answer, it’s about 3.429.

D=.5*a*t^2 - solving for a<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%3D.5%2Aa%2At%5E2" id="TexFormula1" title="d=.5*a*t^2" alt="d=.5*a*
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

\displaystyle a=\frac{d}{.5*t^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation Solving</u>

We are given the equation:

d=.5*a*t^2

It's required to solve it for a.

Swap sides to have the letter on the left side:

.5*a*t^2=d

Divide by .5*t^2:

\mathbf{\displaystyle a=\frac{d}{.5*t^2}}

A 6500 gallon storage tank is 2/13 full of oil. How many gallons of oil are in the tank
user100 [1]

The gallons of oil in the tank is 1000

A 6500 gallon storage tank is 2/13 full

The number of oil in the tank can be calculated by multiplying the amount of gallons in the tank which is 6500 by the measurement of the tank which is 2/13

= 2/13 × 6500

= 13,000/13

= 1,000

Hence 1000 gallons of oil are in the tank
