Answer:

2 hours

Suzy would earn $40

Bill will earn $40

they will both earn $80

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount suzy earns is a function of the total hours worked. Let t represent time

total income of suzy = $20t eqn 1

Bill's income = starting bonus + variable pay

= $20 + $10t

We are looking for when they would earn the same amount :

20t = $20 + $10t  eqn 2

collect like terms and solve for t

10t = $20

t = 2 hours

Substitute for t in either eqn 1 or 2

20(2) = $40

Suzy would earn $40

Bill will earn $40

they will both earn $80

How do you find the area of the sector of the circle with a radius of 4in and a central angle θ of pi/3? Please explain procedur
Lena [83]

It is generally useful to use the formula. The procedure is to substitute the given values for the variables in the formula, then do the arithmetic.

... A = (1/2)r²·θ . . . . r is the radius, θ is the central angle in radians

Put the numbers in ...

... A = (1/2)(4 in)²·(π/3)

... A = 8π/3 in² ≈ 8.37758 in²

What is the solution to the following system of linear equations?
OverLord2011 [107]
There are two ways to solve system of equations.

1) substitution method

2) elimination method

4x - y = -6

x - 2y = -5

For thus problem, i'll be using the substitute method.

So, using the equation x - 2y = -5:

Solve for "x" by adding 2y to both sides of the equation.

x = 2y - 5

Now we know what "x" is, we can substitute it in the other equation.

4x - y = -6

4(2y - 5) - y = -6

8y - 20 - y = -6

7y - 20 = -6

7y = 14

y = 2

We now know the numerical value of y. So, all we have to do is plug in y into either system of equation to solve for the numerical value of x.

4x - 2 = -6 x - 2y = -5

4x = -4 x - 2(2) = -5

x = -1 x - 4 = -5

x = -1



The solution is (-1, 2) where x equals -1 and y equals 2.
