An equivalence scale is a measure of the cost of living of a household of a given size and demographic composition, relative to the cost of living of a reference house- hold (usually a single adult), when both households attain the same level of utility or standard of living.

The equivalence scale used in the OECD Income Distribution Database divides household income by the square root of the household size. This implies that, for instance, a household of four persons has needs twice as large as one composed of a single person.

Answer:

A household equivalence scale allows for transforming the income in an n-member household into an equivalent one-adult-member household. This is necessary for well-being comparisons across households with different number of members.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y - 2 = 3(x-1)

y=3x-3+2

y=3x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

first you type down point slope formula

then you plug in the information you have point (1,2) 1 is x1 and 2 is y1 m is 3 because m = slope

then you have to distribute the 3 to the x and the -1 and then isolate y

(how to isolate the y) you must do the opposite of -2 which is +2 whatever you do on one side you have to do to the other

then you combine like terms 3x is alone and -3 +2 equals -1

there is your answer hope that works.

What is the total area of the figure below?<br> answer fast pls 20 pts! <3

Reptile [31]

≻───── ⋆✩⋆ ─────≺

Answer:

First, find the area of rectangle.

20 × 30 = 600

Next multiply the square

10 × 10 = 100

Now the curve.

$\frac{10 * 10 = 100}{2}$

100/2 =50

Then Add all of it.

$600 + 100 + 50 = 750$

$Area = 750$

Hope this helps!

For her presentation on the Wonders of the World, Mary baked a square pyramid-shaped cake as pictured below. The slant height of

miskamm [114]

Answer:

volume = 195.52 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

slant height of the cake = 10 inches

base length = 8 inches

solution

we know that volume pyramid is express as

volume = $\frac{A^2\times h}{3}$ ..............1

here

we use pythagoras for height

hypotenuse² = side1² + side2²

put here value with other side is half of a square side

10² = h² + 4²

solve it we get

h = 9.165 in

so put here value in equation 1 we get

volume = $\frac{8^2\times 9.165}{3}$

volume = 195.52 in³

What is a solution to the equation 3 / m + 3 - M / 3 - M equals m^2 + 9 / m^2-9?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

$\frac{3}{m+3}-\frac{m}{3-m}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}$

Follow these steps to solve it:

- Subtract the fractions on the left side of the equation:

$\frac{3(3-m)-m(m+3)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{9-3m-m^2-3m}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}$

- Using the Difference of squares formula ( $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ ) we can simplify the denominator of the right side of the equation:

$\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{(m+3)(m-3)}$

- Multiply both sides of the equation by $(m+3)(3-m)$ and simplify:

$\frac{(-m^2-6m+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{(m^2+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(m-3)}\\\\-m^2-6m+9=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)}{(m-3)}$

- Multiply both sides by $m-3$ :

$(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)(m-3)}{(m-3)}\\\\(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)$

- Apply Distributive property and simplify:

$(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)\\\\-m^3-6m^2+9m+3m^2+18m-27=3m^2+27-m^3-9m\\\\-m^3-3m^2+27m-27+m^3-3m^2+9m-27=0\\\\-6m^2+36m-54=0$

- Divide both sides of the equation by -6:

$\frac{-6m^2+36m-54}{-6}=\frac{0}{-6}\\\\m^2-6m+9=0$

- Factor the equation and solve for "m":

$(m-3)^2=0\\\\m=3$

In order to verify it, you must substitute $m=3$ into the equation and solve it:

$\frac{3}{3+3}-\frac{3}{3-3}=\frac{3^2+9}{3^2-9}\\\\\frac{3}{6}-\frac{3}{0}=\frac{18}{0}$
