Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to add  (x^2+3x)  to (3x^2+ax),

(x^2+3x)+(3x^2+ax)

Expand

= x^2+3x+3x^2+ax

Collect the like terms

= x^2+3x^2+3x+ax

= 4x^2 + 3x + ax

= 4x^2+(3+a)x

Equate the solution to 4x^2+12x

4x^2+(3+a)x = 4x^2+12x

Comparing the like terms on both sides

(3+a)x =12x

3 + a = 12

a = 12 - 3

a = 9

Hence the value of a is 9

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

r = \$14.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Normal Hour = 32 hours

Overtime = Hours above 32

Rate for Overtime = 1.4 times normal rate

Earnings = $535.62

Required

Determine the normal hour pay

First, we need to determine the hours worked overtime.

This is:

Overtime = 43 - 32

Overtime = 11

The equation that binds all the parameters is:

Earnings = Normal\ Hour * Normal\ Rate + Overtime * Overtime\ Rate

This gives:

535.62 = 21 * r + 11 * 1.4r

535.62 = 21r + 15.4r

535.62 = 36.4r

Solve for r

r = 535.62/36.4

r = \$14.71
