The expression that represents Shelton's take-home pay after all deductions is:
[tex]10.25x-0.21\mleft(10.25x\mright)[/tex](a)Shelton's total pay before deduction = $10.25x
(b) Shelton's deductions = $0.21(10.25x)
(c)Since x represents the number of hours Shelton worked, his hourly wage will be: $10.25
(d)Since 0.21 of his total pay is deducted, the percentage that is deducted from Shelton's pay is 21%.
(e)If Shelton saves 25% of his take-home pay, this will be:
[tex]0.25(10.25x-0.21\mleft(10.25x\mright))[/tex]If he wants to save $1,675, we then have:
[tex]0.25(10.25x-0.21\mleft(10.25x\mright))=1675[/tex]We are required to solve for x.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.25(10.25x-2.1525x)=1675 \\ 0.25(10.25x-2.1525x)=1675 \\ 0.25\times8.0975x=1675 \\ 2.024375x=1675 \\ x=\frac{1675}{2.024375} \\ x=827.4\approx827\text{ hours} \end{gathered}[/tex]Shelton will work for 827 hours to meet his goal.
The 7th grade took a field trip to the zoo. 50 students rode in cars and the rest of the students were split equally onto 4 buses. There are 142 total 7th graders. How many students were on each bus?
traveledGiven:
The total number of students is N = 142.
The number of students riding in a car is n(C) = 50.
The total number of buses is b = 4.
The objective is to find the number of students traveling on each bus.
Explanation:
Consider the number of students travelled in each bus as s.
Then, the total number of students traveling in 4 buses will be 4s.
The algebraic expression for the total number of students N can be represented as,
[tex]N=n(C)+b(s)\text{ . . . . .(1)}[/tex]On plugging the given values in equation (1),
[tex]142=50+4s[/tex]On further solving the above equation,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 142-50=4s \\ 4s=92 \\ s=\frac{92}{4} \\ s=23 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the number of students traveling on each bus is 23.
Hi, simplify the following rational expression, if possible: x + 2/ x^2 = 4x + 4
Given:
[tex]\frac{x+2}{x^2-4x+4}[/tex]To simplify the given rational expression, we first factor x^2-4x+4 by applying Perfect Square Formula as shown below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
[tex]x^2-4x+4=x^2-2x(2)+2^2=(x-2)^2[/tex]Now, we simplify the given expression:
[tex]\frac{x+2}{x^{2}-4x+4}=\frac{x+2}{(x-2)^2}[/tex]Therefore, the answer is:
[tex]\frac{x+2}{(x-2)^{2}}[/tex]3. By elimination 2x - 3y =- 55x + 2y =16
By elimination, it means that we should apply algebraic operations so we find the value of one variable. So first, lets multiply the first equation by 5. We get
[tex]5\cdot(2x-3y)=5\cdot-5\text{ = 10x-15y = -25}[/tex]Now, lets multiply by 2 the second equation
[tex]2\cdot(5x+2y)\text{ = 16}\cdot2\text{ = 10x+4y=32}[/tex]With this two equations, lets subtract the second equation from the first equation
[tex]10x+4y-(10x-15y)\text{ = 32-(-25)}[/tex]We get
[tex]19y\text{ = 57}[/tex]If we divide y by 19 we get
[tex]y=\frac{57}{19}=3[/tex]Now, using this value in the second equation we get
[tex]5x+2\cdot3\text{ = 16 }=5x+6[/tex]If we subtract 6 on both sides, we get
[tex]16-6\text{ = 5x = 10}[/tex]Finally, we divide by 5 on both sides and we get
[tex]x=\frac{10}{5}=2[/tex]Estimate the product by adjusting the larger factor to the compatible number 25 and then multiply. 27 x 8 = Think about counting by 25s.
You have the following product:
27 x 8
To estimate the product by rounding 27 to 25, you consider that 25 x 8 is the same as adding 25 eight times.
Then, you have:
25 x 8 = 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 +25 + 25 +25
25 x 8 = 50 + 50 + 50 + 50 each pair of 25's add up 50
25 x 8 = 100 + 100 each pair of 50's add up 100
25 x 8 = 200
Hence, an estimation of the given product is 200, by considering 27 rounded to 25.

indicate whether (2, 7) is a solution of the given system.y is greater than or = -x+1Y is less than 4x+2
In order to determine if the point (2, 7) is a solution to the given system of inequalities we just have to replace 7 for y and 2 for x and see if the two inequalities are met, like this:
For y ≥ -x + 17 ≥ -2 + 1
7 ≥ -1
As you can see, 7 is greater than -1 then the first inequality is met.
For y < 4x + 27 < 4(2) + 2
7 < 8 + 2
7 < 10
As you can see, the second inequality is also met, then (2, 7) is a solution for the system of inequalities.

the odds against (E) are 23:77 Find the probability of (not E) :
We can rewrite the question as the probability of getting the event E is 23:77. Find the probability of getting the event not E.
The number 23:77 is a ratio and is it equivalent to:
[tex]\frac{23}{77}[/tex]To get the probability of the event not-E, we can proceed as follows:
[tex]1-\frac{23}{77}=\frac{77}{77}-\frac{23}{77}=\frac{53}{77}\approx0.7013[/tex]So the probability for the event not-E is about 53/77 or 0.7013 (or a little more than 70%).

The slope intercept form equation is expressed as
y = mx + c
where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept
The formula for determining slope is expressed as
slope, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
From the information given,
y2 = 6, y1 = 2
x2 = 0, x1 = 4
Slope, m = (6 - 2)/(0 - 4) = 4/- 4
m = - 1
We would determine the y intercept, c by substituting m = - 1, y = 6 and x = 0 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes
6 = - 1 * 0 + c
6 = c
c = 6
The equation would be
y = - x + 6
Factor 64x3 + 27.(4x – 3)(16x2 – 12x + 9)(4x + 3)(16x2 - 12x + 9)(4x + 3)(16x2 + 12x + 9)(4x - 3)(16x2 + 12x + 9)
Answer
Option B is correct.
64x³ + 27 = (4x + 3) (16x² - 12x + 9)
Explanation
We are told to factorize
64x³ + 27
To do this, we use the factorization of (x³ + y³) as a guide. First of,
(x + y)³ = (x + y) (x + y)² = (x + y) (x² + 2xy + y²)
(x + y)³ = x³ + y³ + 3x²y + 3xy²
So, we can write
x³ + y³ = (x + y)³ - 3x²y - 3xy² = (x + y)³ - 3xy(x + y)
= (x + y) [(x + y)² - 3xy]
= (x + y) (x² + y² + 2xy - 3xy)
= (x + y) (x² - xy + y²)
So, comparing (64x³ + 27) with (x³ + y³), we can see that
64x³ = (4x)³
27 = (3)³
(64x³ + 27) = (4x)³ + 3³
x³ + y³ = (x + y) (x² - xy + y²)
(4x)³ + 3³ = (4x + 3) [(4x)² - (4x × 3) + 3²]
= (4x + 3) (16x² - 12x + 9)

describe and correct the error solution error a student made when graphing a linear equation y equals -3 / 4 x - 6
we have two points (0, 6) and (4, 3)
this can be represented as (x, y)
the equation of a straight line is
y = mx + c
slope = m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1
x1 = 0, y1 = 6, x2 = 4 and y2 = 3
slope = 3 - 6 / 4 - 0
slope = -3/4
slope = -3/4
from the equation of a straight line
(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
y1 = 6 and x1 = 0
y - 6= -3/4(x - 0)
y - 6 = -3/4x + 0
y = -3/4x + 6
the error he made was that he used - 6 instead of +6 in the final answer

Question 5 of 15, Step 1 of 14/15CorrectIfy is inversely proportional to x and y = -71 when x = 16, find yifx = 7. (Round off your answer to the nearest hundredth.)
Answer:
[tex]y=-31.06[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:
Since y and x are inversely proportional, we'll have that:
[tex]y=\beta x[/tex]For a given betha value. Since we have a pair of x and y values, we can plug them in the formula and find our particular value of betha, as following:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\beta x\rightarrow-71=\beta\times16\rightarrow\beta=-\frac{71}{16} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]This way, our formula would be:
[tex]y=-\frac{71}{16}x[/tex]Plugging in x = 7,
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-\frac{71}{16}x\rightarrow y=-\frac{71}{16}(7)\rightarrow y=-\frac{497}{16} \\ \\ \Rightarrow y=-31.06 \end{gathered}[/tex]prove that 1+3+5+......2n-1=n²
As given by the question
There are given that the series
[tex]1+3+5+\cdots+(2n-1)=n^2[/tex]Now,
For step 1:
Put n=1
Then LHS =1
And
[tex]\begin{gathered} R\mathrm{}H\mathrm{}S=(n)^2 \\ =(1)^2 \\ =1 \end{gathered}[/tex]So,
[tex]\therefore L.H.S=R.H.S[/tex]P(n) is true for n=1.
Now,
Step 2:
Assume that P(n) istrue for n=k
Then,
[tex]1+3+5+\cdots+(2n-1)=k^2[/tex]Adding 2k+1 on both sides
So, we get:
[tex]1+3+5\ldots+(2k-1)+(2k+1)=k^2+(2k+1)=(k+1)^2[/tex]P(n) is true for n=k+1
By the principle of mathematical induction P(n) is true for all natural numbers n.
Hence,
[tex]1+3+5+\cdots+(2n-1)=n^2[/tex]For all n.
Hence proved.
