X = additional mile
0.85x + 1.65 = 20
to solve it:
subtract 1.65 from both sides. afterwards, divide both sides by 0.85 to find x!
I believe it is 3x+21 but i could be wrong :/ my explaination is -3 • -X would be +3x because it was distributed and -3 • -7 would be +21
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
2% increase on 1750=
1750 * 1.02 = 1785
1785 per month gives 1785 * 12 = 21420 per year.
Divide 21420 by 48 weeks = 446.25 per week
Divide 446.25 by 45 hours = 9.92 per hour
