The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable:
x: number of years
y: total salary
We have then:
For first company:
y = 1500x + 31000
For second company:
y = 2000x + 28500
Equaling both equations we have:
1500x + 31000 = 2000x + 28500
Clearing x:
2000x - 1500x = 31000 - 28500
500x = 2500
x = 2500/500
x = 5
Answer:
It will take for the salaries to be the same about:
x = 5 years

Well we set the perimeter to 120 feet.
This means that 2x+2y=120
Now we know the area of a rectangle is xy so we have to solve for both x and y in the perimeter equation.
2x=120-2y
x=60-y
2y=120-2x
y=60-x
Now we plug these values into our area equation A=xy to get:
A=(60-y)(60-x)
Answer:
He determined pounds per dollar by dividing 10 by 25 but wrote the unit rate as a dollar value.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Determine Ming's error
Ming's error is from here
He calculated the unit rate as pound per dollar.
So, after calculating the unit rate, the unit should be:
But instead, he solved as:
<em>Hence, (a) is correct</em>
$1.21 is the original price per pound...i too am having trouble with figuring out how to setup the equation!!
