Answer:

x = 8 or

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Completing The Square:</h2>

x² - 6x - 16 = 0

Here,

a = 1

b = -6

c = -16

Now,

x² - 6x + [6/2(1)]² - [6/2(1)]² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (6/2)² - (6/2)² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (3)² - (3)² - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 9 - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 25 = 0

(x - 3)² = 25

x - 3 = +-√25

x - 3 = +- 5

x = 3 +- 5

x = 3 + 5 or x = 3 - 5

x = 8 or x = -2

The net pay is the amount left after taxes and deductions have been removed from the gross pay.

Her monthly gross pay is: $4111.93

The deductions are:

$\mathbf{FIT = \$102}$

$\mathbf{SIT = 3.2\%}$

$\mathbf{CIT = 1.8\%}$

Let her gross pay be x.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Net = x - FIT - x \times SIT - x \times CIT}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{3804.33 = x - 102 - x \times 3.2\%- x \times 1.8\%}$

Express percentage as decimals

$\mathbf{3804.33 = x - 102 - x \times 0.032- x \times 0.018}$

$\mathbf{3804.33 = x - 102 - 0.032x - 0.018x}$

Add 102 to both sides

$\mathbf{3906.33 = x - 0.032x - 0.018x}$

$\mathbf{3906.33 = 0.95x}$

Divide both sides by 0.95

$\mathbf{4111.93 = x}$

Rewrite as:

$\mathbf{x = 4111.93 }$

Hence, her monthly gross pay is: $4111.93

Find the volume of a rectangular pyramid

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

192 yd³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula:

$V=\frac{1}{3} lwh\text{ where } l \text{ is the base length, }w \text{ is the base width, and }h \text{ is the pyramid height}$

In this case: $l = 9, w=8, h = 8$

$\therefore V=\frac{1}{3}(9\text{ yd})(8\text{ yd})(8\text{ yd})=192\text{ yd}^3$
