About 35 Hours, 35.0140056 to be exact.

1. I wrote out the word problem to have Maria’s pay hourly, then the percentage of tax from that pay, and finally the 25$ after taxes they pay.
2. I went ahead and deducted the percentage of taxes, 25%, from the hourly pay to see how much Maria really takes home.
2.5. I subtracted the tax amount, 1.19$, from Maria’s hourly pay to show how much they take home.
3. I wrote out an equation of the amount Maria takes home multiplied by the hours they work, X, and minus the 25, to finally equal the amount Maria wants to take home. Solved the equation.
4. X is the amount of hours Maria has to work to take home 100 dollars with tax and the union fee.

I hope this is correct!! And that it helped!! :)

Replace x with -3 and add

y = -x+1

y = -( x ) + 1

y = -( -3 ) + 1 .... replace x with -3

y = 3 + 1 ... two negatives cancel to make a positive

y = 4

So the number 4 goes right next to -3. This means the point (x,y) = (-3,4) is on the line. This is shown as point A on the attached image below.

------------------------

Repeat for x = -1

y = -x + 1

y = -( x ) + 1

y = -( -1) + 1 ... replace x with -1

y = 1 + 1

y = 2

So the point (-1,2) is also on the line. This is shown as point B.

-------------------------

Repeat for x = 0

y = -x + 1

y = -0 + 1 ... replace x with 0

y = 1

So (0,1) is on the line. This is point C.

-------------------------

Finally, plug in x = 4

y = -x + 1

y = -4 + 1 ... replace x with 4

y = -3

So (4,-3) is on the line, shown as point D.

-------------------------

After you have at least 2 points plotted on the coordinate grid, you would draw a straight line through those points. Note how points A,B, C, & D are all on the same straight line. The slope of this line is -1 meaning you go down 1 unit each time you move to the right 1 unit. The y intercept is 1, which is where the blue line crosses the y axis.

Find the measure of c. A. 136 B. 144 C. 123 D. 149
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given quadrilateral in the circle is a cyclic quadrilateral.

By using the property of cyclic quadrilateral,

"Sum of each pair of opposite angles is 180°".

In the given cyclic quadrilateral,

d + 57° = 180°

d = 180 - 57

d = 123°

Similarly, c + 31° = 180°

c = 180° - 31°

c = 149°

Therefore, Option (D) will be the answer.

Write an equation of the line that<br> passes through (-1,2) with a slope of 4
Iteru [2.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

The points is; (-1 , 2) and slope is 4.

<em>Note:</em><em> </em><em>Use </em><em>one-point</em><em> formula</em><em>.</em>

<em>(y - y1) = m(x - x1)</em>

<em>~</em><em> </em><em>Put </em><em>all</em><em> values</em><em>.</em>

(y - 2) = 4(x + 1)

~ Simplify it.

(y - 2) = 4x + 4

4x - y + 6 = 0

Therefore, the required equation is; 4x-y+6=0.

What is the solution to the system x+y=10 3y=-3x+30<br><br> PLEASE helpppp
choli [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=10

x=10-y

x=10-5

x=5

3y= -3x+30

3(10-y)= -3(10-y)+30

30-3y= -30+3y+30

30+30-30=6y

30=6y

y=5
