To do this question, you simply add what the Vice President makes to how much more the President makes. $562,500+ $237,400=799,900.

Answer:

2x²+2x

Step-by-step explanation:

you have f(x)= x+1 and g(x)= 2x

you must multiply the 2 polynomials

(1x·2x) +( 1·2x)

1·2=2 x^1·x^1=x²

2x²

1·2x=2x

Two workers finished a job in 12 days. How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 1

Lorico [155]

Two workers finished a job in 7.5 days.

How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 8 more days to finish the job than the other worker?

let t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone

then

(t+8) = time required by the other worker (shirker)

let the completed job = 1

A typical shared work equation

7.5%2Ft + 7.5%2F%28%28t%2B8%29%29 = 1

multiply by t(t+8), cancel the denominators, and you have

7.5(t+8) + 7.5t = t(t+8)

7.5t + 60 + 7.5t = t^2 + 8t

15t + 60 = t^2 + 8t

form a quadratic equation on the right

0 = t^2 + 8t - 15t - 60

t^2 - 7t - 60 = 0

Factor easily to

(t-12) (t+5) = 0

the positive solution is all we want here

t = 12 days, the first guy working alone

then

the shirker would struggle thru the job in 20 days.

12What mistake did the student make when solvingtheir two-step equation?(a)b) If correctly solved what should the value of be?

mixas84 [53]

Given the equation:

$\frac{x}{6}+3=-18$

(a) You can identify that the student applied the Subtraction Property of Equality by subtraction 3 from both sides of the equation:

$\frac{x}{6}+3-(3)=-18-(3)$

However, the student made a mistake when adding the numbers on the right side.

Since you have two numbers with the same sign on the right side of the equation, you must add them, not subtract them and use the same sign in the result. Then, the steps to add them are:

- Add their Absolute values (their values without the negative sign).

- Write the sum with the negative sign.

Then:

$\frac{x}{6}=-21$

(b) The correct procedure is:

1. Apply the Subtraction Property of Equality by subtracting 3 from both sides (as you did in the previous part):

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{6}+3-(3)=-18-(3) \\ \\ \frac{x}{6}=-21 \end{gathered}$

2. Apply the Multiplication Property of Equality by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6:

$\begin{gathered} (6)(\frac{x}{6})=(-21)(6) \\ \\ x=-126 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answers are:

(a) The student made a mistake by adding the numbers -18 and -3:

$-18-3=-15\text{ (False)}$

(b) The value of "x" should be:

$x=-126$
