Lets look at the information we have:-
$7.50 per hour
How many hours to earn $116.25?
To answer this we will divide. Lets do it:-
116.25 ÷ 7.50 = 15.5
15 and a half hours.
CHECK OUR WORK:-
15.5 × 7.50 = 116.25
We were RIGHT!!
So, to earn $116.25 when getting paid $7.50 per hour you would need to work for 15 and a half hours.
Hope I helped ya!!!
Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
10(x-5)=-80
10x-50=-80
+50 +50
10x=-30
/10 /10
x=-3
The answer is the first choice.
P(both even) = (4P1)(3P1) / 9P2
