Answer:
b is (4,55). c is correct I believe.
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find where the lines cross on the graph. You see that at point (4,55)
-- The trains start moving at the same time.
-- The space between them is initially 252.5 miles.
-- They reduce the distance between them at the rate of (124.7+253.5)=378.2mph.
-- It will take them (252.5 / 378.2) = 0.6676 hour to meet.
That's 40min 3.49sec .
-- After tooting and puffing toward each other for 8 minutes, they still have <em>32min 3.49sec</em> to go before they meet each other. We're all hoping that they're on different tracks.
The y-intercept (where the line hits the y-axis) will move from (0, 1/2) to (0, -2)
Answer:
(a) Equations for both
--- lifeguard
--- camp counselor
(b) Total pay for 5 days
Lifeguard pays $800
Camp counselor pays $375
(c) Which pays more
Lifeguard job pays more
Step-by-step explanation:
Let


Given
Lifeguard job


Camp counselor job


Solving (a): The equation for both
The total pay for each job is calculated as:
Total Pay = Signing Bonus + Rate * Hours
So, we have:
Lifeguard


Camp counselor


Solving (b): Total pay for 5 days
First, we calculate the total hours worked in 5 days


So, the pay for each is:


--- Lifeguard


--- camp counselor
Solving (c): Which job pays more
By comparing the solution in (b)

<em>Hence, lifeguard job pays more</em>
