Answer:
$1769.06
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of Mia's three highest salaries is ...
$92,000 +94,800 +96,250 = $283,050
so the average is ...
$283,050/3 = $94,350
Her pension is then ...
0.01875 × $94,350 = $1769.06
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
This is equivalent to the total of those salaries, divided by 160.
T/3 × 0.01875 = T × (0.01875/3) = T × 0.00625 = T/160
Sometimes, there are simpler ways to calculate things like this.
Answer
Find out the original side length of the square .
To prove
Let us assume that the original length of the square be x.
Formula
As given
The dimensions of a square are altered so that 8 inches is added to one side while 3 inches is subtracted from the other.
Length becomes = x + 8
Breadth becomes = x -3
The area of the resulting rectangle is 126 in²
Put in the formula
(x + 8) × (x - 3) = 126
x² -3x + 8x -24 = 126
x ²+ 5x = 126 +24
x² + 5x - 150 = 0
x² + 15x - 10x - 150 = 0
x (x + 15) -10 (x +15) =0
(x + 15)(x -10) =0
Thus
x = -15 , 10
As x = -15 (Neglected this value because the side of the square cannot be negative.)
Therefore x = 10 inches be the original side of the square.
Variables- x,y
terms- 4
coefficient-3x, 6y, 10x
constant- 5, 9
like terms- 3x , 10x
You can use the CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent) property. This means that when two triangles are congruent, all the corresponding parts are congruent to each other.
Have an awesome day! :)
X is equal to 12
This is because 5 was multiplied and 6 making 30. So you have to multiply 2 and 6 making x 12. Hope that makes sense
