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

Here’s another one free 50 points and brainiest, first come first serve!<br> 4x+5-10+3x=57
GarryVolchara [31]
So we have to simplify this equation:
4x+5-10+3x=57
Add like terms:
7x-5=57
Then add 5 to both sides:
7x=62
x=62/7

Two intelligent, honest students are sitting together at lunch one day when their math teacher hands them each a card. “your car
Lady bird [3.3K]
Answer: The loser's card shows 6.

Explanation: Let's start by naming the first student A and the second student B.
Since the product of A and B are either 12, 15, or 18, let's list every single possibility, the first number being A's number and the second number being B's number.

1     12
1     15
1     18
2     6
2     9
3     4
3     5
3     6
4     3
5     3
6     2
6     3
9     2
12  1
15  1
18  1

Now, the information says that A doesn't know what B has, so we can immediately cross off all of the combinations that have the integer appearing once and once ONLY off, because if it happened once only, A would know of it straight away. Now, our sample space becomes much smaller.

1     12
1     15
1     18
2     6
2     9
3     4
3     5
3     6
6     2
6     3

Using this same logic, we know that we can cross off all of the digits that occur only once in B's column.

2     6
3     6

Now, A definitely knows what number B has because there is only one number left in B. Hence, we can conclude that the loser, B, has the integer 6.

A cable company uses the formula S = 20,000 (1 + 0.08)y to estimate the number
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

C. Every year the number of subscribers is estimated to increase by 8% over the

number of subscribers the year before.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula :

S = 20,000 (1 + 0.08)^y to estimate ;

S = number of subscribers ; y = years

The expression : (1 + 0.08)^y

0.08 = 0.08 * 100% = 8%

(1 + 0.08)^y represents a continous growth or increase in the number of subcsribers by 8% over the number of subscribers the preceeding year
