Jill would like an increase in the hourly wage she receives from the Mathematics Research Center, where she works in the mail ro

om. Her boss gives her an equation to solve, telling her that her raise is the solution to the equation, but only if she can solve it. The equation is x 2- 6x + 9 = 0. What was the amount of her raise per hour? Answer:

Answer:

<em>Her raise per hour is $3.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Quadratic Equation</u>

The standard representation of a quadratic equation is:

ax^2+bx+c=0

where a,b, and c are constants.

It can be solved by using the quadratic formula:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Jill asks for an increase in the hourly wage she receives. Since she works in a Maths Center, the increase comes as a maths equation.

She must solve the equation:

x^2-6x+9=0

The solution to the equation is the increase in her hourly wage.

Comparing with the general form, we have a=1, b=-6, c=9. Thus, the solutions are:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-6)\pm \sqrt{(-6)^2-4(1)(9)}}{2(1)}

\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{36-36}}{2}

\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{0}}{2}

Since the square root is 0, there is only one solution:

\displaystyle x=\frac{6}{2}=3

x = 3

Thus, her raise per hour is $3.

Which expression is equivalent to 2 (t-4) +1. A 2t-5 B.2t-7 C. 2t-9 D. 2t -3
seraphim [82]

Answer: 2t + -8

Step-by-step explanation: Let's simplify this problem using the distributive property.

The first thing we want to do is change this minus to plus a negative.

Now we can distribute or multiply this 2 times

each of the terms inside the set of parentheses.

So we get 2(t) + 2(-4) and this simplifies to 2t + -8.

2t + -8 is the same thing as 2t -8.

Solve the following:<br>a) 2(5x – 3) = 24<br>b) 5(2x + 1) = 50​
likoan [24]

Answer:

x = 3 and x = \frac{9}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

2(5x - 3) = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

5x - 3 = 12 ( add 3 to both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3

(b)

5(2x + 1) = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )

2x + 1 = 10 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2x = 9 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = \frac{9}{2}
