Can someone please help me?

Step-by-step explanation:

1:   26000

2: 20500

3: nicholas

1. 25,000+1000x

2. 19,000+1500x

3. 25000+1000x>19000+1500x

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 1st it is 25,000 because that is what he starts off with and there is an x behind 1000 because it depends on how many years he receives the bonus. For example, if he was there for 3 years the equation would look like 25000+1000(3).  

For the 2nd one, it is the same concept as the first one.

For the third one, it says that Nicholas will make more money so the greater symbol has to be facing the equation that stands for his amount of money.

Hope this helps!

y=1/4x-4

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
