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

X - y= -4 -2x +3y =6
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<em><u>x=-6, y=-2</u></em>, (As a point) (-6, -2).....The point form is not necessary unless you want to solve the system (of equations) by graphing.

Step-by-step explanation:

By substitution:

x-y=-4    By adding y on both sides,

x=y-4

Now you can substitute x for the expression (y-4)

Plug the (y-4) as x in the other equation.

So -2x+3y=6 becomes

-2(y-4)+3y=6

Now solve:

-2(y-4)+3y=6 distributes out to be

-2y+8+3y=6     Now combining like terms

y+8=6              Subtract 8 on both sides to isolate the variable

<u><em>y=-2</em></u>

Now plug the value -2 in where the y is in any equation (preferably the easier/less complicated one) and solve for x.

So x-y=-4 becomes

x-(-2)=-4

=x+2=-4

=<u><em>x=-6</em></u>

Solve the equation: 2+3.8w=1.4-2.8w
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

w= -11

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 2.8 from the right side and add it to the left side. Now you have 2+6.6=1.4.

2. Subtract 2 from the left side and add it to the right side. Now you have 6.6= -.6

3. Divide both sides by -.6. You will get -11=w
