Answer:

x= -12

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.5(x-4)=-3x+4

-2.5x+10=-3x+4

-2.5x+3x=-10+4

0.5x=-6

Divide by 0.5x/0.5 you cancel these two numbers.

-6/0.5 = -12

x= -12

I hope it helps. Let me know.

Answer:

B) x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

[Given] -2.5(x-4) = -3x + 4

[Distibute] -2.5x + 10 = -3x + 4

[Subtract 4 from both sides] -2.5x + 6 = -3x

[Add 2.5x to both sides] 6 = -0.5x

[Divide both sides by -0.5] -12 = x

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

Miguel has a painting that is 4 inches wide by 2 feet long. He made an enlarged copy of it. The enlarged copy is 1 foot wide. Wh
ahrayia [7]

The length of the enlarged copy in feet is 2.7 feet.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • The painting is 4 inches wide and 2 feet long.
  • convert inches into feet (1 inch=0.083 foot). Therefore, 4 inches=0.3 feet
  • The enlarged copy is 1 foot wide and 'x' feet long.

The width is enlarged from 0.3 to 1 which is increased by 0.7 feet.

∴ The length should also be increased by 0.7 feet = 2+0.7 = 2.7 feet

Sue is offered a job reshelving books in the University of Montana library from noon until 1 p.M. Each Friday. Her reservation w
Nata [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sue's initial wage per hour = $10

Sue's wage per hour after the increase = $100

a. Economic surplus to be enjoyed = $100 - $10

                                                      = $90

Sue would enjoy an economic surplus of $90.

b. No, because in this case the wage per hour for each 400 student would be;

                                          =  \frac{100}{400}

                                          = $0.25

                                          = 25 cents

Redistribution of income is the act of equal sharing of wealth among a certain number of people.

The problem here is that Sue would feel cheated with the division of the earnings among 400 students, but very happy when her wages was increased.

Though the income incentive redistribution programs reduce poverty, but it may be unfair.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

  • 1/9
  • 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) p(blue & hybrid & not-leather) = p(blue)×p(hybrid)×p(not leather)

  = (1/3)×(1/2)×(2/3) = 1/9

__

b) p(electric & not-blue) = p(electric)×p(not blue) = (1/2)(2/3) = 1/3

_____

Among a given set of choices, the probability of any one of them is 1 divided by the number of choices. The probability of that the choice is not one of those is the probability that it is, subtracted from 1.

<u>Example</u>: there are 3 colors, so p(green) = 1/3; p(not-green) = 1 -1/3 = 2/3.

inna [77]


120 hrs./4 yr. = 30 hrs./yr.

30 hrs./yr. * 0.2 = 6 = 20% of employee A

30 hrs./yr. + 6 hrs./yr. = 36 hrs./yr.

36 hrs./yr. * 1.5 yrs. = 54 hrs./yr.

54 hrs./yr. - 30 hrs./yr. = 24 hrs./yr. more than employee A  ANS.
