Drey makes $10 an hour plus $15 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 40 hours for the week.

Part A: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, W, for working x hours in a week when there is no overtime. 

If there is no overtime, the equation is W = 10x.

Part B: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, S, for working y hours of overtime. Hint: Remember to include in the equation the amount earned from working 40 hours. 

At $10 per hour for 40 hours, the total is $400.

S = 15y + 400

Part C: Drey earned $490 in 1 week. How many hours (regular plus overtime) did he work?

490 = 15y + 400

490 - 400 = 15y

90 = 15y

90/15 = y

6 = y

Drey worked 46 hours in all.

Find the distance between the points (0, 0) and (6, -8). 4 √28 10
kvasek [131]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the distance between 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is

d = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

Here (x2, y2) = (6, -8)  and (x1, y1) = (0, 0)

Plugging them gives us

d = √[(6 - 0)² + (-8 - 0)²]

     d = √[(6)² + (-8)²]

        d = √[36 + 64]

           d = √100

               d = 10

In a pen of goats and chickens, there are 40 heads and 150 feet. How many goats and chickens are in the pen?
s2008m [1.1K]

Hey there!!

A chicken has 1 head and 2 feet . A goat has 1 head and 4 feet

For heads, total = 40

Let us take the number of chickens as ' x ' and goats as ' y '

x + y = 40 ------------- ( 1 )

2x + 4y = 150 ----------- ( 2 )

Multiply the first equation with 2

2x + 2y = 80

2x + 4y = 150

Subtract the first equation from the first

2y = 70

y = 35

Number of goats = 35

substitute this in other equation

x + y = 40

x + 35 = 40

x = 5

Number of chickens are 4

Hope it helps!

The first one means what is the smallest number that goes into 12 which would be 4. The second one mean what does not go into 4 and 6 so that would be 8 because 6 is not a multiple of 8.The third one is either 1 or 2 not sure. And the 4th one is little complicated you might want to look up video on prime factorization that can really help you .
