Let x =  hours worked as a clerk ($12 per hour).
Let y = hours worked as a cashier ($8.25 per hour).

She worked 55 hours, therefore
x + y = 55             (1)

She earned $585, therefore
12x + 8.25y = 585        (2)

From (1), obtain
y = 55 - x           (3)

Substitute (3) into (2).
12x + 8.25(55 - x) = 585
12x + 453.75 - 8.25x = 585
3.75x = 131.25
x = 35
y = 55 - x = 55 - 35 = 20

Answer: a)  Office clerk: 35 hours; cashier: 20 hours.

What is the solution to the following system of equations?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

(3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The system is

x + y = 5

x -y = 1

Add the equations to eliminate y

2x = 6----->x=3

Substitute this value in any equation

3+y = 5----->y=2

The solution is (3,2)

Which equation is equivalent to 16 Superscript 2 p Baseline = 32 Superscript p 3?.
Mrac [35]

The equation which is equivalent to 16 Superscript 2 p Baseline equal to 32 Superscript p 3 is,

2^{8p}=2^{5p+15}

<h3>What is equivalent equation?</h3>

Equivalent equation are the expression whose result is equal to the original expression, but the way of representation is different.

Given information-

The given equation in the problem is,

16^{2p}=32^{p+3}

Write both the equation in the form of same base number as,

(2^4)^{2p}=(2^5)^{p+3}

The power of the power of a number can be written as product of both the numbers. Thus,

(2)^{4\times2p}=(2)^{5\times(p+3)}\\2^{8P}=2^{5P+15}

This is the required equation.

Now if the base is the same at both side of the expression, then the powers can be compared. Thus,

8p=5p+15

Solve it further to find the value of p as,

8p-5p=15\\3p=15\\p=5

Thus the equation which is equivalent to 16 Superscript 2 p Baseline equal to 32 Superscript p 3 is,

2^{8p}=2^{5p+15}
