Answer:

8 years

Salary: $95000

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation to model the salary and its raise per year. Add the base salary to the raise per year salary times (x). Where the parameter (x) represents the number of years spent in the company.

Company (1):

75000 + 2500x

Company (2):

55000 + 5000(x)

One is asked at which year will the salaries be the same. Equate the two expressions and solve for the variable (x):

75000 + 2500x = 55000 + 5000(x)

Inverse operations:

75000 + 2500x = 55000 + 5000x

20000 + 2500x = 5000x

20000 = 2500x

8 = x

Substitute (x) into any one of the experssions and simplify to solve the epxression,

55000 + 5000(x)

x = 8

= 55000 + 5000(8)

= 55000 + 40000

= 95000

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Choice A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution for town A is symmetric, but the distribution for town B is negatively skewed. From the box plots it is clear that the tails of the box plot  for town A are equal in length while for town B the left tail is longer implying a negatively skewed distribution.

How can I figure out this math problem: Stanley ran a 5 kilometer race in 30 minutes. What was his speed in kilometers per hour?
stiv31 [10]
Since the question is asking for the time units to be in hours, you want to convert 30 minutes to an hour; 0.5

We’re able to use the basic motion formula for velocity to work out this question.

Velocity = distance / time
Velocity = 5 / 0.5
Velocity = 10km/h

Therefore, Stanley’s average speed was 10 kilometres per hour. :)
