Answer:

John and Pam are paid $8.5 for each hour worked. John's share of the money is $29.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the hourly salary. John worked for 3.5 hrs, and Pam for two. We can represent this using the equation:

3.5x + 2x = 46.75, where the coefficients equals the amount of hours.

Let's solve for x!

5.5x=46.75

x = 46.75/5.5 = 17/2 = 8.5

John and Pam are paid 8.5 dollars per each hour worked.

To figure out John's share of the money, we will multiply the wage by the hours he worked.

8.5 x 3.5 = 29.75

Sail with the equation by completing the square x^2+8x=-3

Answer:

The solutions are $x=-4(+/-)\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x^{2} +8x=-3$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$x^{2} +8x+16=-3+16$

$x^{2} +8x+16=13$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+4)^{2}=13$

square root both sides

$x+4=(+/-)\sqrt{13}$

$x=-4(+/-)\sqrt{13}$

Danny brought a car for £10000 the value of the car depreciated by 20% in the first year then the value of the car depreciated b

Levart [38]

£7200

In first year depreciates by 20%, that is it is worth 80% of it's original value

80% = $\frac{80}{100}$ = 0.8

value after 1 year = 0.8 × £10000 = £8000

In the second year it depreciates by 10% of it's value, that is it is worth 90% of it's value at the end of the first year.

90% = $\frac{90}{100}$ = 0.9

value after 2 years = 0.9 × £8000 = £7200

as you can see the algorithm would most likely be deducting one from the second digit and adding it to the first digit
