A driver works 40 hours a week for the first year on the job. How much does the driver earn for the year? (Hint:
The driver earns $14 an hour for the first 4 weeks he
works. Then he earns $18 an hour.)

Step-by-step explanation

*( / means per)

Okay, so he works 40 hours/ week and works for a year. There are approximately 52 weeks in a year.

First 4 weeks he earns $14/ hour

Rest of the year he earns $18/ hour

First 4 weeks => 40 hours x $14 x 4 weeks = $2240

52 - 4 = 48 weeks after => 40 hours x $18 x 48 weeks = $34560

Total=> 2240 + 34560 = $36,800

The driver earns that total amount in a year.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
