Answer:

  • $3692

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the gross salary be x.

<u>Then after deduction it becomes:</u>

  • x - 22% =
  • x(1 - 0.22) =
  • 0.78x

<u>Since the amount is known, the gross salary is:</u>

  • 078x = 2880
  • x = 2880/0.78
  • x = 3692 rounded to whole number

<u>Answer</u>: $3692

Renee is wanting to join a gym.
WINSTONCH [101]
Pumping iron: 10x+90=0
Fit for life: 15x+50=0

Set them equal to each other. 10x+90=15x+50. Solve for x. Subtract 50 from both sides, get 10x+40=15x, then subtract 10x from both sides, getting 40=5x. Divide 5 from both sides to isolate x, x=8. After 8 months the two gyms will cost the same.

Write parametric equations of the line y=4x-5
Rasek [7]

Answer:

A set of parametric equations for the line y = 4x - 5 is;

x = t

y = 4t - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a set of parametric equations for the line y = 4x - 5;

We can assign either variable x or y equal to the parameter t, in this case we can easily let x = t

We then substitute x = t in the original equation;

y = 4t - 5

Therefore, a set of parametric equations for the line y = 4x - 5 is;

x = t

y = 4t - 5

An isosceles triangle has a perimeter of 18 cm. Find a function that models its area A in terms of the length of its base b.
IgorLugansk [536]
So.... notice the picture below

now, we know what the "height" or "altitude" is
now, we also know the perimeter is 18cm

so, k + k + b = 18
or 2k + b = 18
thus  \bf k=\cfrac{18-b}{2}

so... one can say that \bf \textit{area of a triangle}=A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;b=b&#10;\\\\&#10;h=\sqrt{k^2-\left( \frac{b}{2} \right)^2}&#10;\\\\&#10;h=\sqrt{k^2-\frac{b^2}{4}}\\&#10;--------------\\&#10;k=\frac{18-b}{2}\qquad thus\\&#10;--------------\\&#10;h=\sqrt{\left( \frac{18-b}{2} \right)^2-\frac{b^2}{4}}&#10;\end{cases}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;A=\cfrac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot \sqrt{\left( \frac{18-b}{2} \right)^2-\frac{b^2}{4}}

and you can simplify it if you wish.. not sure you have to

Jay is hanging 160 feet of Christmas garland on the three sides (two on the width and one on the length) of fencing that enclose
Setler [38]

The length of the fencing is 62.4 feet.

The width of the fencing is 17.6 feet.

Given,

The measurement of the Christmas garland = 160 feet

The width of the fencing = w

The length of the fencing, l = 4w - 8

We have to find the length and width of the fencing.

Here,

Perimeter can be taken as 160. Because garland will cover the entire fencing.

Perimeter = 2(l + w)

160 = 2(4w - 8 + w)

160 = 2(5w - 8)

160/2 = 5w - 8

80 + 8 = 5w

88/5 = w

width = 17.6 feet

Now,

l = 4w - 8

l = 4 × 17.6 - 8

l = 70.4 - 8

length = 62.4 feet

That is,

The length of the fencing is 62.4 feet.

The width of the fencing is 17.6 feet.
