Explanation:

Make use of the properties of equality.

a = 2b +6 . . . . . given

a = 9b -8 . . . . . given

2b +6 = 9b -8 . . . . . . . substitution property of equality

6 = 7b -8 . . . . . . . . . . . subtraction property of equality

14 = 7b . . . . . . . . . . . . . addition property of equality

2 = b . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . division property of equality

b = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . symmetric property of equality

Trevor’s total employment compensation is $33,500. If Trevor has no job expenses and his gross pay is $28,600, then his total em

EleoNora [17]

we know that

$Total\ employment\ compensation=gross\ pay+employee\ benefits-job\ expenses$

in this problem

$Total\ employment\ compensation=33,500\ dollars$

$gross\ pay=28,600\ dollars$

$job\ expenses=0$

Step $1$

Find the total employee benefits

Let

EC------> total employment compensation

EB--------> total employee benefits

GP------> gross pay

JE------> job expenses

$EC=GP+EB-JE$

$33,500=28,600+EB-0\\ EB=33,500-28,600\\ EB=4,900\ dollars$

Step $2$

Find the percentage of the total employee benefits

we know that

total employee benefits is equal to $4,900\ dollars$

gross pay is equal to $28,600\ dollars$

by proportion

$\frac{28,600}{4,900} =\frac{100}{x} \\ \\ x*28,600=100*4,900\\ \\ x=\frac{100*4,900}{28,600}$

$x=17.1$ %

therefore

the answer is the option

d. 17.1

Past the core

Basile [38]

Answer:

Building's shadow length = 180 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 50-foot flagpole is at the entrance of a building that is 300 feet tall.

Its forms a right angled triangle from both ends,both of them are similar because the angle of the sun is the same at the same time of day.

From similar triangle property we can say that.

⇒ length of the building shadow times height of the flagpole's = length of the flagpole's shadow times height of the building

$\frac{length\ of\ the\ building\ shadow}{height\ of\ the\ building} =\frac{length\of\ the\ flagpole's\ shadow}{height\ of\ the\ flagpole's}$

Plugging the values in the above equation we have,

Let length of the building shadow ='x' feet

⇒ $\frac{x}{300} =\frac{30}{50}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{300}\times 300 =\frac{30}{50}\times 300$

⇒ $x=\frac{300\times 30}{50}$

⇒ $x=\frac{9000}{50}$

⇒ $x=180$ feet.

So the length of the building shadow is 180 feet.
