Linda works 6 hours on monday and wednesday, 8 hours on thursday and friday, and 5 hours on sunday. is she is paid $495 at the end of the week, what is linda's hourly wage?

Linda's hourly wage is $15 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Linda works 6 hours on Monday.

Linda works ,6 hours on Wednesday.

Linda works ,8hours on Thursday.

Linda works ,8 hours on Friday.

Linda works ,5 hours on Sunday.

She works on five days of the week.

Total number of hours that Linda worked for the week is the sum of hours worked of monday, Wednesday,Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Therefore,

Total hours worked = 6+6+8+8+5 = 33 hours.

If she is paid $495 at the end of the week, Linda's hourly wage

= 495/33= $15 per hour

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
