Answer: 44 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marisol is being paid $792.

We know that the job took her 8 hours more than she expected, so if we define T as the time she expected, this job took her:

T + 8 hours.

The amount of money per hour that she expected is calculated as:

$792/T = X

And for those 8 extra hours, she won $4 less per hour, then we have:

$792/(T + 8hs) = X - $4

Then we have a system of equations:

$792/T = X

$792/(T + 8hs) = X - $4

To solve this, we can notice that in the first equation X is isolated, then we could replace that in the second equation to get:

$792/(T + 8hs) = $792/T - $4

Now we can solve this for T.

$792 = ($792/T - $4)*(T + 8hs)  = $792 + $792*(8hs/T) - $4*T + $32*hs

0 = $792*(8hs/T) - $4*T + $32*hs

Let´s multiply this both sides by T

0*T = ($792*(8hs/T) - $4*T + $32*hs)*T

0 = $792*8hs - $4*T^2 +$32*T*hs

This is a quadratic equation, where i will write this witout units so it is easier to read and follow:

0 = -4*T^2 + 32*T + 792*8

The solutions cab be found by using the Bhaskara´s formula, these are:

T = \frac{-32 +- \sqrt[2]{(32^2 - 4*(-4)*(792*8)} }{2*-4}  = \frac{-32 +-320}{-8}

Then the solutions are:

T = (-32 + 320)/-8 = -36 hours (This is a negative time, and it does not really have a meaning in this problem, so we can discard this option)

The other solution is:

T = (-32 - 320)/-8 = 44 hours.

Then we can conclude that she expected the job would take 44 hours in total.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is -2x+20y=6​
QveST [7]

Answer:

  -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for y gives ...

  20y = 2x +6

  y = 2/20x +6/20 = 1/10x +3/10

The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x: 1/10. The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/(1/10) = -10.

The perpendicular line has a slope of -10.
