Answer:

It will take them 20 years to make the same salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

Assume that they will have the same salary after x years

∵ Alex makes $30,000 a year at his job

∵ He gets a $2,500 a year raise every year

∵ He will work x years

→ That means his salary is the sum of a fixed amount and the raise times x

∴ His salary = 30000 + 2500(x) ⇒ (1)

∵ Sydney makes $40,000 a year

∵  He gets a $2,000 raise every year

∵ He will work x years

→ That means his salary is the sum of a fixed amount and the raise times x

∴ His salary = 40000 + 2000(x) ⇒ (2)

∵ They will make the same salary after x years

→ Equate (1) and (2)

∴ 30000 + 2500x = 40000 + 2000 x

→ Subtract 30000 from both sides

∴ 2500x = 2000x + 10000

→ Subtract 2000x from both sides

∴ 500x = 10000

→ Divide both sides by 500

∴ x = 20

∴ It will take them 20 years to make the same salary

You have a 1200-foot roll of fencing and a large field. you want to make two paddocks by splitting a rectangular enclosure in ha
romanna [79]
Let width = w
Let length = l
Let area = A
3w+2l=1200
2l=1200-3w
l=1200-3/2
A=w*l
A=w*(1200-3w)/2
A=600w-(3/2)*w^2
If I set A=0 to find the roots, the maximum will be at wmax=-b/2a which is exactly 1/2 way between the roots-(3/2)*w^2+600w=0
-b=-600
2a=-3
-b/2a=-600/-3
-600/-3=200
w=200
And, since 3w+2l=1200
3*200+2l=1200
2l = 600
l = 300
The dimensions of the largest enclosure willbe when width = 200 ft and length = 300 ft
check answer:
3w+2l=1200
3*200+2*300=1200
600+600=1200
1200=1200
and A=w*l
A=200*300
A=60000 ft2
To see if this is max area change  w and l slightly but still make 3w+2l=1200 true, like
w=200.1
l=299.85
A=299.85*200.1
A=59999.985

If a train traveled at 50 meters within 120 seconds, what is its speed?
Alja [10]

Answer:

v = 0.416 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Give that,

Distance covered by a train, d = 50 m

Time taken, t = 120 s

We need to find the speed of a train. The formula for speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. It can be given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{50\ m}{120\ s}\\\\v=0.416\ m/s

So, the speed of a train is 0.416 m/s.
