Last year, Sheila’s salary was $42,000. Because of furlough days, this year, her salary was $37,800. What was the percent decrease

The answer is 10%.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 2 step equation so what we are going to do is find

10% of $42,000 = 4200,

Now we need to do a simple subtraction, $42,000 - $4200 which equals to $37,800.

Hope that helps. x

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
