I don’t understand what you’re saying ?
Y - 6 = -3/7(x + 5)
y - 42/7 = -3/7x - 15/7
y = -3/7x + 27/7
30=8+4(z-2)
Distribute 4 through the parentheses
30=8+4z-8
Eliminate the opposites
30=4z
Swap the sides of the equation
4z=30
Divide both sides of the equation by 4
4z÷4=30÷4
Any expression divided by itself equals 1
z=30÷4
or write the division as a fraction
z=30/4
copy the numerator and denominator of the fraction
30=2x3x5
4=2x2
Write the prime factorization of 30
Write the prime factorization of 4
30=2 x3x5
4=2x2
2
Line up the common factors in both lists
Copy the common factors
Since there is only one common factor, the common factor 2 is also the greatest common factor
30÷2/4÷2
2
Divide 30 and 4 by the greatest common factor 2
15/4÷2
Divide the numbers in the numerator
15/2
Divide the numbers in the denominator
15/2
The simplified expression is 15/2
That's it. hope it wasn't too hard to understand?
Hourly rate:
39(1.3r) = 541.80
(hours times hourly rate equals profit)
then solve
1.3r = 13.89
r = 10.69
the hourly rate is $10.69
to answer the bottom question, 390 + 117 = 507, but that’s not close to 541.80 so I have no idea what they’re asking there
