Question: Solve for x and y in the equation.

xy=80 and log x - 2 log y =1

Answer:

x = 40, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 80.......................... Equation 1

logx-2logy = 1

logx-logy² = 1

Applying the laws of logarithm,

log(x/y²) = log10

x/y² = 10

x = 10y²......................... Equation 2

Substitute the value of x in therms of y equation 2 into equation 1

10y²(y) = 80

10y³ = 80

y³ = 8

y = $\sqrt[3]{8}$

y = 2.

Substitute the value of y into equation 1

2x = 80

x = 80/2

x = 40

Therefore,

x = 40, y = 2

Answer:

Depends

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to see which annual salary is higher, we must calculate the annual salary of B to compare to A. To do this, if B offers $18.00 an hour for 40 hours a week, that's $720 a week. Now to convert this to annual, multiply the weekly earnings by the 52 weeks in a year. Employer B offers $720 × 52 weeks = $37,440 annually. Assuming you didn't have a typo, $350,000 is $312,560 greater meaning A pays more. If you did have a typo, and meant that Employer A offered $35,000, then Employer B would pay more.
