50 = 4(x - 7) - 6(3x - 6)

Apply the Distributive Property to get rid of the parentheses first. The Distributive Property: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

50 = 4(x - 7) - 6(3x - 6)

50 = 4x - 28 - 18x + 36

Collect like terms (constants and x-terms).

50 = 4x - 28 - 18x + 36

50 = -14x + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the variable term.

42 = -14x

Divide both sides by -14 to isolate x.

42/-14 = -14x/-14

-3 = x

Answer:

x = -3

we are given

50=4(x-7)-6(3x-6)

Firstly , we can distribute

50=4x-28-18x+36

now, we can combine like terms

50=-14x+8

-14x=42

now, we can solve for x

and we get

x=-3...........Answer

A rectangle is drawn so the width is 97 inches longer than the height. If the rectangle's diagonal measurement is 113 inches, fi
inn [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

h = height of rectangle (should be "length", but ok)

w = width of rectangle

w = h + 97

the diagonal of the rectangle is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of a right-angled triangle with the legs being one height and one width side of the rectangle.

so, we use Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle).

diagonal² = h² + (h + 97)² = h² + h² + 2×97h + 97²

113² = 12769 = 2h² + 194h + 9409

3360 = 2h² + 194h

1680 = h² + 97h = (h + 97/2)² - 9409/4

(completing the square)

6720/4 + 9409/4 = (h + 97/2)²

16129/4 = (h + 97/2)²

127/2 = h + 97/2

30/2 = h = 15

the height is 15.0 in

Janine babysits for $14.50 per hour. She also works as a dishwasher at her family's restaurant for $9.50 per hour. Her family ne
FrozenT [24]
The system of inequalities are
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) 14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
3) 8 hours babysitting, 7 hours dishwashing
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The amount per hour Janine makes from babysits = $14.50
The amount per hour Janine makes from dishwashing = $9.50
The minimum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 7 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 10 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can work each week = 7 hours
The minimum amount she wants to make each week = $140
Let x represent the number of hours Janine spends babysitting and let y represent the number of hours Janine spends dishwashing
1) From the question, we have;
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) Where
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
Making, y, the subject of the formula of the above inequalities and plotting as functions is given as follows;
y ≥ 140/9.5 - (14.5/9.5)·x
y ≤ 15 - x
3) In order to earn as much money as possible given that the amount Janine earns from babysitting is more than the amount she earns from dishwashing, Janine should spend the least amount of time dishwashing, which is 7 hours, as given, and then spend the remaining 8 hours babysitting to receive $14.5 × 8 + $9.5×7 = $182.5
