Explanation:
Your question covers a good bit of the material in an algebra course. The short answer is, "the same way you solve a numerical equation." The point of algebra is that literals can stand for numbers, and so be manipulated the same way numbers are.
Expressions are evaluated according to the Order of Operations. For equations involving a single variable, the equation specifies what operations are being performed on that variable. To find the vale of the variable (solve for that literal), you need to "undo" the operations that are performed on it. As with many problems that have layers, you work down through the layers from the outside in. Generally, that means working through the list of operations "backwards," undoing the last one first.
Simple example
y = mx + b . . . . . . solve for x
In this equation, the operations performed on x are ...
multiplication by maddition of b to the productIn accordance with the above, the first thing we do is "undo" the addition of b. (Note that this could be a number or literal--or even a complicated expression--and the process would be exactly the same.) To "undo" addition, we add the opposite.
y -b = mx +b -b ⇒ y -b = mx
Next, we "undo" the multiplication by m. That is, we divide by m, or multiply by the reciprocal of m. Either is the same as the other.
(y -b)(1/m) = (mx)(1/m) ⇒ (y -b)/m = x
Now, we have solved this literal equation for x.
_____
Throughout this process you must adhere strictly to the properties of equality. That is, anything you do to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side.
The reason you study inverses and identity elements is so you understand that addition of an additive inverse produces the additive identity element:
x + (-x) = 0
Similarly, multiplication by the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) produces the multiplicative identity element.
x · (1/x) = 1
When other operations are involved, such as raising to a power, trig functions, roots, logs, exponentiation, each of these has an associated inverse function that produces an identity:
(x^a)^(1/a) = x^1 = x
arcsin(sin(x)) = x
(√x)^2 = x
10^(log(x)) = x or log(10^x) = x
Some of these inverse functions have restricted domains, so care must be used when solving equations involving them.
When a variable of interest appears on both sides of the equal sign, then you must figure a way to rearrange the equation so the terms with the variable can be combined.
Example:
ax + b = cx +d . . . . . solve for x
ax -cx = d -b . . . . . . subtract (cx+b). (Of course, this is subtracted from both sides of the equation.)
x(a -c) = d -b . . . . . combine x-terms
x = (d -b)/(a -c) . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Note that we had to divide the entire right-side expression by the x-coefficient, so had to enclose it in parentheses.
More Complicated Example:
A recent Brainly problem asked for the solution to ...
T = 2π√(L/g) . . . . solve for L
Here, L is divided by g, a root taken, and that multiplied by 2π. Undoing these in reverse order, we first divide by 2π, square both sides to undo the root, then multiply by g to undo the division:
[tex]T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\\\dfrac{T}{2\pi}=\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\\\left(\dfrac{T}{2\pi}\right)^2=\dfrac{L}{g}\\\\\boxed{L=g\left(\dfrac{T}{2\pi}\right)^2}[/tex]
The problem posted on Brainly had numbers where some of these variables are. That does not affect the solution method, except that sometimes numerical values can be combined where literal values cannot.

Kayo earns a weekly salary of $372 at All Sports, Next month, she will be promoted from assistant buyer to head buyer. In her new position, she will be paid $831.33
semimonthly. How much more per year will Kayo earn as a head buyer than as assistant buyer?
Answer:
ok so if she gets paid 372 we just multiply this by 4 since there's 4 weeks in a month then we multiply by 4 so
372*4*12=17856
now we just multiply 831.33 by 2 since she is paid semimonthly and we multiply by 12
831.33*2*12=19951.92
now we just subtract
19951.92-17856=2095.92
so she gets paid 2095.92 more dollars per year

What are the coordinates of the point shown on the coordinate plane?
Answer:
(5,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of a point are the x and y-values of a point. It is organized like (x,y). The x-value is written first and then the y-value. The x-value is the "run" or the horizontal value; so, the value of the axis on the bottom. The y-value is the "rise" or the vertical value. The axes are also labeled. For this graph, the x-value is 5 and the y-value is 4. The final answer is (5,4).

When the Bucks play Chiefs at football, the probability that the Chiefs, on present form, will win is 0.56. In a competition, these teams are to play two more pgames. If Swallows beats Bucks in at least4one of these games, they will win the competition, otherwise Bucks will win the trophy. NB: Round off to 2 decimal places. a. The probability that Swallows will win the trophy is [a] probability that Rucks will win the trophy is
Answer:
The probability that Swallows will win the trophy is 0.8064
The probability that Rucks will win the trophy is 0.1936
Step-by-step explanation:
For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the Swallows win, or they do not. The probability of them winning a game is independent of any other game, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Probability the Swallows wins is 0.56
This means that [tex]p = 0.56[/tex]
2 games:
This means that [tex]n = 2[/tex]
The probability that Swallows will win the trophy is
Probability they win at least one game, so:
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.56)^{0}.(0.44)^{2} = 0.1936[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - 0.1936 = 0.8064[/tex]
0.8064 = 80.64% probability the Swallows win the trophy and 0.1936 probability that the Rucks win the trophy.

Jose bought 750 bags of peanuts for 375.00. He intends to sell each bag for 0.15 more the he paid. How much should he charge for each bag
Answer:
Charge for each bag = 0.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of 1 bag be = x
Bags Cost
750 375.00
1 x
[tex]\frac{750}{1} = \frac{375}{x}\\\\x \times 750 = 375 \times 1\\\\x = \frac{375}{750} = 0.50[/tex]
Therefore, the amount Jose paid for each bag = 0.50
He is going to sell each bag for 0.15 more than he paid,
that is , 0.50 + 0.15 = 0.65
How long will it take the same crew to clear the entire plot of 2 1/2 acres?
Answer:
It will take 15 days for the same crew to clear the entire plot of 2 1/2 acres.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a crew clears brush from 1/3 acre of land in 2 days, to determine how long will it take the same crew to clear the entire plot of 2 1/2 acres, the following calculation must be performed:
1/3 = 0.333
1/2 = 0.5
0.333 = 2
2.5 = X
2.5 x 2 / 0.333 = X
15 = X
Therefore, it will take 15 days for the same crew to clear the entire plot of 2 1/2 acres.

Imagine that you need to compute e^0.4 but you have no calculator or other aid to enable you to compute it exactly, only paper and pencil. You decide to use a third-degree Taylor polynomial expanded around x = 0. Use the fact that e^0.4 < e < 3 and the Error Bound for Taylor Polynomials to find an upper bound for the error in your approximation.
I error l ≤
Answer:
upper bound for the error, | Error | ≤ 0.0032
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
[tex]e^{0.4[/tex] < e < 3
Using Taylor's Error bound formula
| Error | ≤ ( m / ( N + 1 )! ) [tex]| x-a |^{N+1[/tex]
where m = [tex]| f^{N+1 }(x) |[/tex]
so we have
| Error | ≤ ( 3 / ( 3 + 1 )! ) [tex]|[/tex] -0.4 [tex]|[/tex]⁴
| Error | ≤ ( 3 / 4! ) [tex]|[/tex] -0.4 [tex]|[/tex]⁴
| Error | ≤ ( 3 / 24 ) [tex]|[/tex] -0.4 [tex]|[/tex]⁴
| Error | ≤ ( 0.125 ) [tex]|[/tex] -0.0256 [tex]|[/tex]
| Error | ≤ ( 0.125 ) 0.0256
| Error | ≤ 0.0032
Therefore, upper bound for the error, | Error | ≤ 0.0032

Suppose 49% of American singers are Grammy award winners. If a random sample of size 502 is selected, what is the probability that the proportion of Grammy award winners will differ from the singers proportion by greater than 4%
Answer:
0.0726 = 7.26% probability that the proportion of Grammy award winners will differ from the singers proportion by greater than 4%
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Suppose 49% of American singers are Grammy award winners.
This means that [tex]p = 0.49[/tex]
Sample of size 502
This means that [tex]n = 502[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = p = 0.49[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.49*0.51}{502}} = 0.0223[/tex]
What is the probability that the proportion of Grammy award winners will differ from the singers proportion by greater than 4%?
Proportion below 49% - 4% = 45% or above 49% + 4% = 53%. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, so we find one of them and multiply by 2.
Probability the proportion is below 45%
p-value of Z when X = 0.45. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.45 - 0.49}{0.0223}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.79[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.79[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0363.
2*0.0363 = 0.0726
0.0726 = 7.26% probability that the proportion of Grammy award winners will differ from the singers proportion by greater than 4%
A computer monitor is listed as being 22 inches. This distance is the diagonal distance across the screen. If the screen measures 12 inches in height, what is the actual width of the screen to the nearest inch?
22 inches
18.43 inches
25.05 inches
32.5 inches
Answer
The width of the screen is 18.43.
Explanation
Use the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) to find the height.
In a right triangle, a and b are legs. In this instance, a and b would be the height and width of the computer monitor. Let's say the height is a and the width is b (you're trying to find b). The hypotenuse of a right triangle is c. For the computer monitor, c is the diagonal.
So put in everything you know to find b; 12^2+b^2=22^2.
12^2 is 144 and 22^2 is 484. Now you have 144+b^2=484. When you simplify, you get b^2=340. When you simplify again, you find that b is about 18.43.

Joe works as a salesman at the baby retail store. He receives a 5% commission on the first $ 10 000,9% on the next $ 7000, and 13% on any additional sales. Calculate how much Joe must sell to make $ 2082.9 in commission
Answer:
Joe must sell $ 24,330 to make $ 2,082.9 in commission.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Joe works as a salesman at the baby retail store, and he receives a 5% commission on the first $10,000, 9% on the next $7,000, and 13% on any additional sales, to calculate how much Joe must sell to make $2082.9 in commission the following calculation must be performed:
10,000 x 0.05 = 500
7,000 x 0.09 = 630
2,082.90 - 500 - 630 = X
952.90 = X
0.13X = 952.90
X = 952.90 / 0.13
X = 7.330
10,000 + 7,000 + 7,330 = X
24,330 = X
Therefore, Joe must sell $ 24,330 to make $ 2,082.9 in commission.
