how to solve this question
As you probably know, there is still a difference in wages for men vs. women in this country. Besides straight-up
discrimination and bias (which has been lessening over the decades), people point to many other factors that continue
to keep the average amount earned by a full-time, year-round female employee lower than males, on average (like
women taking more time off for maternity than men do for paternity, career selection, etc.).
Every ten years as part of the census, data is collected that gives the median income of "full-time year-round workers."
In 2010 the median income of FTYR workers was $42,800 for men, compared to $34,700 for women. In 1960, if you
adjust the wages to 2009 dollars, wages were $38,907 for men and $23,606 for women.
Based on this data, when might we predict women's wages might catch up to men's? Show all work you did to get
your answer. AND NO LINKS TO FILES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

Answer:
year 2066
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to do this, we need to make some assumptions. We'll assume that the 2010 wages are also in 2009 dollars. (If not, there's an inflation factor that needs to be accounted for.) We also need to assume the form of the change in wages over time. The simplest assumption there is that wages change linearly.
Then we can write equations for men's and women's wages as follows:
Using the 2-point form of the equation for a line, we have ...
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
Men's wages
y = (42800 -38907)/(2010-1960)(x -1960) +38907
y = 77.86(x -1960) +38907
y = 77.86x -113,698.6 . . . . . where x is the year
Women's wages
y = (34700 -23606)/(2010 -1960)(x -1960) +23606
y = 221.88x -411,278
These values are equal when ...
77.86x -113,698.6 = 221.88x -411,278
297,580.2 = 144.02x . . . . . . . add 411278 -77.86x
2066.2 = x . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Based on this data we predict women's wages might catch up to men's in the year 2066, about 56 years from 2010.
_____
Alternate solution
In the 50 years from 1960 to 2010, the fraction of men's wages that women receive has increased from 23606/38907 ≈ 0.606729 to 34700/42800 ≈ 0.810748. That is a change of about 0.204 of men's wages in 50 years. The remaining fraction of 1-0.810748 = 0.189 might be expected to be wiped out in another (0.189/0.204)(50 years) = 46.4 years. That would be the year 2056.
The different results come from different assumptions. For the second solution, we assumed that the fraction improved linearly. Under the first assumption, that wages improved linearly, the fractional improvement is non-linear, and decreases over time.
_____
Additional comment
The usual assumption regarding things financial is that they change exponentially over time. If we use an exponential model, instead of a linear one, wage parity is reached in about 2046.
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the graph of the function below.
y = 1/4x-3
Answer:
The slope of a line that is parallel to the graph of the function below is 1/4x
Step-by-step explanation:
The only way you can have a line that stays parallel to another is if they have the same slope, and the slope of them both is 1/4x
In a charity marathon to raise money for Typhoon Ulysses, Alex finished 43rd out of 200 entrants. Find his percentile rank.
The percentile rank in a charity marathon to raise money for Typhoon Ulysses is 21.5 percentile.
What is the Percentile?A percentile (or a centile) is a measure used in statistics indicating the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group of observations fall. For example, the 20th percentile is the value (or score) below which 20% of the observations may be found.
Rank of Alex is 43rd
Total Entrants is 200
Percentile = Rank of Alex X 100 / Total Entrants
= 43 X 100 / 200
= 21.5 percentile
Thus, the percentile rank in a charity marathon to raise money 21.5 percentile.

ZAOC measures 150°. OC is 20° clockwise from the negative x-axis, as shown. If ZAOC is rotated
60° counterclockwise, what angle does OC make with the x-axis?
Answer:
40 degrees clockwise.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we rotate 150 degrees counterclockwise by 60 degrees , we would end up at 210 so
210-170=40 degrees
It would be clockwise.
Simplify the following rational expression. Be sure to state the condition.
The simplified form of the rational expression (x²+5x+6)/(3x+6) is (x+3)/2.
And we used factorization to find the simplified form.
What is factorization?Factorization is a process to simplify the expression by finding the factors of that expression.
And to find the same expression from factors, you have to reverse the process.
Given:
The rational expression,
(x²+5x+6)/(3x+6).
Simplifying,
the expression using factorization method.
First, (x²+5x+6),
= x²+2x+3x+6
= x(x+2)+3(x+2)
= (x+2) (x+3)
And 3x+6 = 3(x+2)
Substituting the simplified values to the given expression,
(x²+5x+6)/(3x+6),
= (x+2) (x+3) / {3(x+2)}
Factor out the common factor,
= (x+3)/2
Therefore, the simplified form is (x+3)/2.

what percent of 50 is 25 with solution
Answer:
50%
What is a percentage?A percentage is a ratio, or a number expressed in the form of a fraction of 100. Percentages are often used to express a part of a total.
Looking at the problem, we can take 25, and divide 50 by it.
25 ÷ 50 = 0.5
0.5 is equal to 5/10, which is also equal to 50%, meaning that 50% of 50 is 25.

∠4 = 120°∠5 = 80°Step-by-step explanation:
Angle 5 is the third angle of the triangle whose other two angles are 45° and 55°. So, its measure is ...
∠5 = 180° -45° -55°
∠5 = 80°
__
This figure cannot be solved for angle 4 unless we assume the horizontal lines are parallel. Using the angle numbers as vertex designators, angle 245 and the one marked 45° are alternate interior angles, so are congruent. Angle 4 is vertical with the angle that is the sum of angle 245 and 75°, so we have ...
∠4 = 75° +45°
