A cable installer chargers $52.50 per hour plus a $75.00 service charge. your father's firm hires him to hook up his company's internet service. Find the total charges if it takes the cable installer 4.5 hours to complete the task

Answers

So the cable installer charges 52.50 an hour. meaning you would multiply that by whatever amount of hours he will work. so 52.50 times 4.5 hours equals $236.25. Now he also charges an extra fee for the service, So we add 75 dollars onto that making it $311.25.

If you want it in formula form here you go

y represent total amount in the end and x equals amount of hours

y=52.50x + 75

y = 52.50(4.5) + 75

y = 236.25 + 75

y = 311.25

If x^(2) - 2 = 2^(2/3) + 2(-2/3) prove that x = 2^(1/3)+2^(-1/3)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 2 = 2^(2/3) + 2^(-2/3)

x² = 2^(2/3) + 2 + 2^(-2/3)

x² = (2^(1/3))² + 2 × 2^(1/3) × 2^(-1/3) +

(2^(-1/3))² (It is in the form of a²+2ab+b²)

x² = (2^(1/3) + 2^(-1/3))²

x = 2^(1/3) + 2^(-1/3)

Two feet is what percent of a yard? And please explain how I find the answer

Answers

percent means parts out of 100
x%=x/100

1 yard=3 feet
2 feet is what percent of 3 feet?
2=x% times 3
2=x/100 times 3
2=3x/100
multiply both sides by 100
200=3x
divide both sides by 3
