<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know from the question that the student earned $12.50 <em>per hour</em>.
Using this information, we can say that if the student worked for <em>h </em>hours, they would make a total of 12.50 × <em>h </em>dollars.
We also know that the total money they earned is $2500.75.
∴ Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

From here, if we want to, we can find the number of hours worked by simply making <em>h</em> the subject of the equation and evaluating:
<em>h </em>=<em> </em>
= 200.6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
use the formula: (a+b)³ = a³+3a²b+3ab²+b³
and place the corresponding values.
Multiplication is a simple way of adding
For example 6x8 is the same as 8+8+8+8+8+8
Any number multiplied by 1 is itself E.g 4x1 = 4
Multiplying by 2 is just doubling
Multiplying by 10 is adding a 0 to the original number
If it is a big number that you do not know how to multiply mentally split it up
E.g 17x13
Split 13 into 10 and 3
17x10= 170
17x3= 51
Then add these numbers
221
If you ever get stuck, use the long method, add them instead, you will get to the right answer but it will take longer
Dividing is not as simple
Like multiplication dividing by one will leave you with the same answer
Dividing by two means you half the number, which may give you a decimal
Bigger numbers are trickier, and you may be allowed to use a calculator for numbers
Below are a number of links, these websites will teach you how to improve your multiplication and division skills:

This solution might become quite complex.
Please try to keep up with me, and I'll go slowly:
You said (x + k) = (x + k - 1) (x + k)
Divide each side by (x+k): 1 = (x + k - 1)
Add 1 to each side: 2 = (x + k )
Subtract 'k' from each side: 2 - k = x
Answer:
x = 32
y = 16sqrt(5)
z = 8sqrt(5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x/16 = 16/8
x/16 = 2
x = 32
y^2 = 16^2 + 32^2
y^2 = 1280
y = 16sqrt(5)
z^2 = 8^2 + 16^2
z^2 = 320
z = 8sqrt(5)
