Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The equation is

[tex]-5x-16=8[/tex]

To find:

The error and correct solution.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]-5x-16=8[/tex]

Add 16 on both sides.

[tex]-5x-16+16=8+16[/tex]

[tex]-5x=24[/tex]

Divide both sides by -5.

[tex]\dfrac{-5x}{-5}=\dfrac{24}{-5}[/tex]

[tex]x=-\dfrac{24}{5}[/tex]

Third step is incorrect because he divide the equation by 5 instead of -5.

Therefore, the correct solution is [tex]x=-\dfrac{24}{5}[/tex].

1. Juliet O'Hara works for a weekly paycheck. Last week she worked 5 days for a total of 39 hours. Her regular rate of pay is $10.95 an hour. In addition to federal income tax, state income tax, Medicare, and social security, Juliet also has insurance of $20 a week withheld and puts 4% of her gross pay into a retirement account. Compute her gross pay, deductions, and net pay. SHOW YOUR WORK!

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

hours worked weekly = 39

pay/her = $10.95

insurance withheld weekly = $20

percentage put into Retirement = 4%

Solution:

Gross pay

= hrs worked weekly x pay/hr

= 39 x $10.95

= $427.05.

Deductions

insurance deduction

= $427.05 – $20

= $407.05

Amount put into retirement account

= 4% of $427.05

= 4/100 x $427.05

= $17.082

NET PAY

= $427.05 – $20 –$17.082

= $389.97

Answer:

1, 3, and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You should know this because, 88 degrees and 2 are in a straight line which there means that 2 would be 92 degrees. So every length would be slightly shorter or longer than the other. As you can observe 1, 3, and 8 other than 6 are all the ones that are slightly shorter than their counterpart 2, 4, 5, and 7. Which means that 1, 3, and 8 all equal 88 degrees just like 6.

SV bisects angle RST. if m angle RST = 62, what is m angle RSV?

Answers

See attachment for math work and answer.

The measure of ∠RSV is 31°.

Given that, SV bisects ∠RST=62°.

We need to find the value of m∠RSV.

What is an angle bisector?

The angle bisector in geometry is the ray, line, or segment which divides a given angle into two equal parts. For example, an angle bisector of a 60-degree angle will divide it into two angles of 30 degrees each. In other words, it divides an angle into two smaller congruent angles.

Since SV bisects ∠RST into equal parts.

That is, ∠RSV=∠TSV

So, ∠RST=∠RSV+∠TSV

⇒∠RST=2∠RSV

⇒62°=2∠RSV

⇒∠RSV=31°

Therefore, the measure of ∠RSV is 31°.

What is the midpoint between (2,4) and (10,16)?

Answers

Answer:

the midpoint would be (5,9)

Answer:

(6, 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( [tex]\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}[/tex], [tex]\frac{y_{1+y_{2} } }{2}[/tex] )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (10, 16) , thus

midpoint = [tex]\frac{2+10}{2}[/tex], [tex]\frac{4+16}{2}[/tex] ) = ( [tex]\frac{12}{2}[/tex], [tex]\frac{20}{2}[/tex] ) = (6, 10 )

Audrey and Addy also went hiking up Mount Olympus. Audrey's distance in June was 2.95 miles and for July 2 5/8 miles. Addy went 2.85 miles in June and 3 3/8 miles in July. How much farther did Addy hike than Audrey in both June and July? *Answer will be in decimal form

Answers

Answer:

Addy hiked 0.65 miles more than Audrey.

Step-by-step explanation:

In June we have the following distance traveled by Audrey (Au) and Addy (Ad):

[tex] Au_{Jun} = 2.95 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{Jun} = 2.85 miles [/tex]

And, in July we have:

[tex] Au_{Jul} = 2 + 5/8 miles = 21/8 miles = 2.625 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{Jul} = 3 + 3/8 miles = 27/8 miles = 3.375 miles [/tex]

Hence in June and July, they traveled:

[tex] Au_{T} = Au_{Jun} + Au_{Jul} = 2.95 miles + 2.625 miles = 5.575 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{T} = Ad_{Jun} + Ad_{Jul} = 2.85 miles + 3.375 miles = 6.225 miles [/tex]

Now, we can find how much farther did Addy hike than Audrey in both June and July:    

[tex] d = Ad_{T} - Au_{T} = 6.225 miles - 5.575 miles = 0.65 miles [/tex]

Therefore, Addy hiked 0.65 miles more than Audrey.

(a) On the grid above, draw the line x = 3

Answers

The Graph will look like this:

The graph will show a vertical line crossing the x-axis at x = 3 and extending infinitely in both the positive and negative y-directions.

The equation x = 3 represents a vertical line that passes through the point (3, 0) on the Cartesian coordinate system. This means that for every value of y, the corresponding x-coordinate is always 3. Since the line is vertical, it extends infinitely in both the positive and negative y-directions.

To visualize the line x = 3 on a graph:

1. Draw two perpendicular axes, the horizontal x-axis, and the vertical y-axis.

2. Since x = 3, draw a vertical line passing through the point where x = 3 on the x-axis (at x = 3) and extending through the entire y-axis.

The resulting graph will show a vertical line crossing the x-axis at x = 3 and extending infinitely in both the positive and negative y-directions.

The price of Stock A at 9 A.M. Was ​$14.67. Since​ then, the price has been increasing at the rate of ​$0.08 each hour. At noon the price of Stock B was ​$15.17. It begins to decrease at the rate of ​$0.15 each hour. If the two rates​ continue, in how many hours will the prices of the two stocks be the​ same?

Answers

Price of Stock A at 12 : 00 A.M. is :

A = 14.67 + 0.08×3

A =  $14.91

Price of Stock B at 12 : 00 A.M. is :

B = $15.17

Let, after x hours price are same :

[tex]14.91 + 0.08x = 15.17 -0.15x\\\\0.23x = 15.17-14.91\\\\0.23x =0.26\\\\x = 1.13\ hours[/tex]

HELP this is on my quartly check!!! If ∠A is supplementary to ∠B, ∠A and ∠C are vertical angles, and m∠C = 45, what is m∠B?

Answers

Answer:

135

Step-by-step explanation:

As, Angle A and angle B are supplementry,

So, A+B=180

Angle A and Angle C are vertically opposite angles then, Angle A= Angle C

So angle C = 45°

So angle A = 45

Now, A + B = 180

45 + B = 180

B= 180 - 45

B= 135°

Eric walks 7 km East in 2 hours and then 2.5 km West in 1 hour.

___ km/hr is the average speed and ___ km/hr is the average velocity for the whole journey that Eric takes.

Answers

Answer:

Average speed = 3.17 km/h and Average velocity = 1.5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Eric walks 7 km East in 2 hours and then 2.5 km West in 1 hour.

Average speed = distance/time

Distance = 7km + 2.5 km = 9.5 km

Time = 2 h + 1 h = 3 h

Average speed,

[tex]s=\dfrac{9.5\ km}{3\ h}\\\\s=3.17\ km/h[/tex]

Average velocity = displacement/time

Displacement = 7 km +(-2.5 km) = 4.5 km

Average velocity,

[tex]v=\dfrac{4.5\ km}{3\ h}\\\\v=1.5\ km/h[/tex]

So, 3.17 km/h is the average speed and 1.5 km/h is the average velocity for the whole journey that Eric takes.
