Part a:
this is really just intuition. you can go either way as long as you back up what you say.
either you think hunter would be faster because he starts out with a lot more money, or you think amado would be faster because he earns a lot more.
part b:
let x be the number of hours hunter works, and y the number that amado works.
they both need to earn 600 dollars.
hunter's money is modelled by 150 + 7.5x
to get 600 dollars
150 + 7.5x = 600
7.5x = 450
x = 60
amado's money is modelled by 12y
to get 600 dollars
12y = 600
y = 50
hunter would need to work 60 hours to make enough money, but amado would only need to work 50, so hunter will take longer.
then say whether this agrees with what you guessed in part a
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I would help but i havent even learned that yet. But i will ask my older sister
In order to solve you must find the value of the blank angle.
Here is your first equation.
126 + x = 180
Subtract 126 from both sides.
x = 54
So now add up all the angles.
x + (2x + 6) + 54 = 180
Combine like terms.
3x + 60 = 180
Subtract 60 from both sides.
3x = 120
Divide.
x = 40
Now check your answer.
40 + 2(40) + 6 + 54 = 180
40 + 80 + 6 + 54 = 180
120 + 60 = 180
180 = 180
There is a solution. The answer is 40.
I hope this helps love! :)
