Answer:
a=8
b=5
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagoras's Theorem to find A
h²=y²+z²
10²=a²+6²
100=a²+36
∴a²=64
∴a=8
Use Pythagoras's Theorem to find A
h²=y²+z²
9²=b²+6²
81=b²+36
∴b²=45
∴b=3√5
x=a+b
=8+3√5
You did give the correct answer .
The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable:
x: number of years
y: total salary
We have then:
For first company:
y = 1500x + 31000
For second company:
y = 2000x + 28500
Equaling both equations we have:
1500x + 31000 = 2000x + 28500
Clearing x:
2000x - 1500x = 31000 - 28500
500x = 2500
x = 2500/500
x = 5
Answer:
It will take for the salaries to be the same about:
x = 5 years
3. .5*60 because .5 represents the 5% and "of" stands for multiplication
