ffee cart and earns $36.50. On Tuesday, he works 2 hours at the library and 5 hours at the coffee cart and earns $50. His hourly wage at the library, x, and hourly wage at the coffee cart, y, can be determined using the system of equations below. 3x + 2y = 36.50 2x + 5y = 50.00 At which job does Percy earn the greater hourly wage? How much does Percy earn each hour at this job? Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.00 at the library. Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.00 at the coffee cart. Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.50 at the library. Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.50 at the coffee cart.

To solve the system, the best way to do it is by eliminatiion.  Multiply the first equation by -2 and the second equation by 3.  This changes the system to -6x-4y= -73 and 6x+15y= 150.  When you add those together, the x's are eliminated, leaving 11y = 77 and y = 7.  Sub that in to any one of the above equations to solve for x.  6x + 15(77) = 150 and 6x + 105 = 150.  6x = 45 and x=7.5.  If x is the library and y is the coffee cart, then he makes more at the library.  Your choices aren't numbered, but it's the third one.

The monthly income of Ram is Rs 40,000. If he paid Rs 8,000 as income tax. Find the rate of income tax.​
frosja888 [35]

Hello!

Rate of income tax = Tax paid / Monthly income

⇒ Rate = 8,000 / 40,000

⇒ Rate = 0.2

⇒ Rate = 20%

∴ The rate of income tax is 20%.

Please can someone answer this.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

  •  x = -4, x = 0, x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x is a factor of all terms, so x=0 is a zero. (Eliminates choices 1 and 5.)

The sum of coefficients is 0, so x=1 is a zero. (Eliminates choices 3 and 4.)

Reversing the sign of the odd-degree terms gives signs of -++, so there is one sign change, hence one negative real root (by Descartes' rule of signs). This confirms choice 2 as the answer.

___

Of course, your graphing calculator can answer this almost as quickly.

ser-zykov [4K]
Let x be the digit in the tens place and y be the digit in the ones place.
so, the digit is xy
<span>
The ten's digit of a two digit number is 1 more than 4 times the units' digit.
</span>x = 4y + 1

<span>63 is subtracted from the number, the order of the digits is reversed
</span>10x + y - 63 = 10y + x
9x - 9y = 63

x = 4y + 1 ------------ (1)
9x - 9y = 63  ---------- (2)

Sub (1) into (2)
9(4y + 1) - 9y = 63
36y + 9 - 9y = 63
27y = 63 - 9
27y = 54
y = 2 ------- sub into (1)

x = 4(2) + 1 = 9

x = 9, y = 2
The number is 92
