I don't really understand your question, but it think it goes like this:

x-17-20=180

gather common terms

x-37=180

move 37 to other side

x=180+37

addition

x=217

Eli Moran is an accountant at J & R Tax Prep, and during tax season he works overtime to meet the demand. He is paid $32 per
Sati [7]

Answer :

The value of number of hours overtime per week will he needed to achieve his earning goal = 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Payment for first 40 hours = $ 32 per hour

Payment over 40 hours = $ 48 per hour

Eli’s goal is to earn = $ 1520 per week ------- (1)

Total payment for first 40 hours = 32 × 40 = $ 1280 ------ (2)

Suppose person worked x_{} hours in overtime, then

The total payment for x_{} hours = 48 × x_{}  = $ 48x_{} ------------ (3)

Total earnings of the person in a week ⇒ $ 1280 +  $ 48x_{} = $ 1520

⇒ 1280 + 48x_{} = 1520

⇒ 48x_{} = 1520 - 1280

⇒ 48x_{} = 240

⇒ x_{} = 5 hours

This is the value of number of hours overtime per week will he needed to achieve his earning goal.

x^2 + 81 = 121

x^2 = 121 - 81

x^2 = 40

x^2 = 2^2 x 10

x = 2√10 km

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The percentage decrease is 29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial = 300

Final = 213

Required

Determine the percentage decrease

This is calculated as thus:

\%Percentage = \frac{|Final - Initial |}{Initial} * 100\%

Substitute values for Final and Initial

\%Percentage = \frac{|213 - 300|}{300} * 100\%

\%Percentage = \frac{|-87|}{300} * 100\%

<em>Get absolute value of -87</em>

\%Percentage = \frac{87}{300} * 100\%

\%Percentage = \frac{87* 100\%}{300}

\%Percentage = \frac{8700\%}{300}

\%Percentage = 29\%

Hence, the percentage decrease is 29%
