A secretary earns $12 an hour and worked a total of 47 hours last week she earns time and a half for work beyond 40hours calculate her pay

$606

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first 40 hours, she was making $12. With this, we can do 12x40, which is 480$. We can store that in a safe space for later access. Afterwards, since the problem says that "after 40 hours she earns time and a half for her work" we can assume she gets 1.5x her pay after 40 hours, which is $18 (We can get this by 12 / 2 = 6. Then do 12 + 6 = 18). Then we can do 18x7 because she worked 7 hours over 40. With that, we get 126$. Now we can do 480$ + 126$ = 606$. So, she earned 606$.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
