To make it like a simple, I'll make an equation. Let x be the number of hours because x represents unknown and we don't know the hours. Then your per hour is $7.25 right? so it would be x7.25. You want to know how many hours you will work so you can earn $125. The equation is simple as this x7.25 = 125.
All you have to do is divide the equation by 7.25 because that's your per hour.
It will look like this, <u>x7.25</u> = <u>125</u> then the answer would be 17.24 hours.
7.25 7.25
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x - 1
y = x - 8 ------ (i)
substitute y = 2x - 1 in equation (i)
2x - 1 = x - 8
2x = x - 8 + 1
2x = x - 7
2x - x = -7
x = -7
Substitute x value in equation (i)
y = -7 - 8
y = -15
#22. We are given that y = 1/4. So, we want to plug this value into the expression 15/y:
15/(1/4)
When you divide by a fraction, you should follow the rule “flip the guy and multiply”. Basically, 15/(1/4) = 15 * 4 = 60.
The answer for #22 is (D).
#23. We can use a proportion:
(The shaded area)/(entire circle area) = (360 - 60)/360
But, we don’t have to find the areas of the region and circle; we can just solve the fraction:
(360 - 60)/360 = 300/360 = 30/36 = 5/6
The answer for #23 is (A).
Answer:
a = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
From the solution given, x = a and y = -1
Substitute for x and y in either of the equations
y = -x + 9
-1 = -a + 9
a = 9 + 1 = 10
