A: If Evan earns m in x number of weeks, then the equation would be m=12x

B: The wording here is a bit strange, but I can probably work it out.

Here, you want to include overtime pay in the equation. If 30 hours is included, that would make the equation 12 × 30 + 15y = T

C:

Start with the equation:

12 × 30 + 15y = 510

360 + 15y = 510

15y = 150

Now you need to get the variable on its own, so you divide both sides by 15.

y = 10

If you have any questions about the process, please tell me!

Select the correct answer.
ICE Princess25 [194]
The correct ois D. -17.5 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The daytime temperature in Apple Valley is
falling by 2.5 degrees each day
Therefore, Change in the temperature each day
=-2.5 degrees
Now, we need to find the net change in the daily
temperature after one calendar week
Now, number of days in one calendar week = 7
So, Net change in the daily temperature after
one calendar week = Daily change × Number of
days in one calendar week
Net change in the daily temperature after
one calendar week =-2.5 x7
# Net change in the daily temperature after
one calendar week =-17.5 degrees
Therefore, The correct option is -17.5
degrees

As a membership fee a health club charges a one time amount of $40 and charges $25 for each month. The total fee after m months
ICE Princess25 [194]
First you need to set up an equation y = mx + b. m would be the monthly charge and b would be the one time fee. x represents the number of months.
To solve for the number of months with a total price of 240 we substitute 240 in for y and solve for x.
240 = 25x + 40
subtract 40 from each side
200= 25x
divide by 25
8 = x
8 months

10 + 7r = 45
7r = 35
r = 5
