Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount of salary be X, then

3/10X + 2/3X + amount left= his salary(X)

(9X + 20X)/ 30 + 2100 = X

29X/30 - X = -2100

(29X - 30X)/30 = -2100

by cross multiplying

-X = -2100×39

-X = -81900

divide both side by -1

X = 81900.

therefore his salary = 81900

Answer:

Muli's salary = 62,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Muli's salary be x.

Money spent on food = 3/10 of x = 3x/10

Money spent on rent = 2/3 of x = 2x/3

Money left with him = 2100

(3x/10) + (2x/3) + 2100 = x

x - (3x/10) - (2x/3) = 2100 ( LCM = 30)

30x/30 - 9x/30 - 20x/30 = 2100

(30x - 9x - 20x ) / 30 = 2100

x/30 = 2100

x = 2100 * 30 = 62,000

Let the number be n.

One half of a number is (1/2n)
decreased by 16 is (-16)

one half of a number decreased by 16 is
1/2n - 16

Or one halfn − 16

What is the length of line segment KJ?

Karolina [17]

Please consider the attached file.

We can see that triangle JKM is a right triangle, with right angle at M. Segment KM is 6 units and segment MJ is 3 units. We can also see that KJ is hypotenuse of right triangle.

We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve for KJ as:

$KJ^2=KM^2+MJ^2$
