7b + 3 - 4b = 3 - 3(b + 4)
3b + 3 = 3 - 3b - 12
3b + 3b = 3 - 12 - 3 = -12
6b = -12
b = -12/6 = -2
b = -2
Answer:
$1769.06
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of Mia's three highest salaries is ...
$92,000 +94,800 +96,250 = $283,050
so the average is ...
$283,050/3 = $94,350
Her pension is then ...
0.01875 × $94,350 = $1769.06
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
This is equivalent to the total of those salaries, divided by 160.
T/3 × 0.01875 = T × (0.01875/3) = T × 0.00625 = T/160
Sometimes, there are simpler ways to calculate things like this.
First, let's multiply the first equation by two on the both sides:
<span>8x + 7y = 39 /2
</span>⇒ 16x + 14y = 78
Now, the system is:
<span>16x + 14y = 78
</span><span>4x – 14y = –68
</span>
After adding this up in the column:
(16x + 4x) + (14y - 14y) = 78 - 68
20x = 10
⇒ x = 10/20 = 1/2
y can be calculated by replacin the x:
<span>8x + 7y = 39
</span>⇒ 8 · 1/2 + 7y = 39
4 + 7y = 39
7y = 39 - 4
7y = 35
⇒ y = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
Answer:
10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Because it is a parrallogram and by its property it will be 10
#2
2x - 4y = -2
2x + 3y = -16
------------------subtract
-7y = 14
y = 14/-7
y = -2
2x - 4y = -2
2x - 4(-2) = -2
2x + 8 = -2
2x = -2 -8
2x = -10
x = -10/2
x = -5
answer x = -2 and y = -5
check:
2(-5)- 4(-2) = -2
-10 +8 = -2
-2 = -2.....true
2x + 3y = -16
2(-5)+3(-2) = -16
-10 + (-6) = -16
-16 = -16...true
