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

One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories.
vampirchik [111]
◆ Define the variables:

Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b

◆ Form the equations:

One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:

a + 2b = 774

Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories

2a + b = 786

◆ Solve the equations:

From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b

Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie

◆ Find caloric content:

Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie

Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie

Answer:

1024pi/3

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the volume of a sphere you use the equation 4/3*pi*r^3

4/3*pi*8^3

4/3*pi*512

2048/3 pi

This is the volume of the whole sphere but we only need half so we can just divide by 2.

(2048/3 pi)/2

1024/3 pi
