Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of the new line is 1/2.
The line passes through (0,4), and this gives the y-intercept, which would equal 4.
The equation now would be: y = 1/2x + 4
We have $8.50 an hour gross minus $2.15 an hour tax and bennys. Then $3.75 daily expense. In one week our net take-away y after x hours is
y = x(8.50 - 2.15) - 5(3.75)
That's the answer, or we can simplify it to
Answer: y = 6.35 x - 18.75
Answer: The slope, 6.35, is the net dollars per hour <em>before weekly expenses.</em>
Answer: The y intercept, -18.75, is the weekly expense, negative because it's an expense.
To make $120 in a week, we solve for x where y=120
120 = 6.35x - 18.75
138.75 = 6.35 x
x = 138.75 / 6.35 = 21.8503937007874
That wasn't the nice round number I was expecting/hoping for. I don't see a mistake so let's go with
Answer: 21.85 hours to make $120
The answer will be $13.72 for 7 bags of popcorn.
to find this answer, you first take 5.88 and divide it by 3 to find out how much one bag costs.
the answer to 5.88/3 is 1.96, so you multiply 1.96 by 7 to get the answer of how much 7 bags of popcorn will cost.
hope this helps!
Answer:
x < 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
If you have a line under the < or > sign, it means x can be less than OR EQUAL TO, since x has to be less than 5, neither of those signs can work. Now, < means less than and > means greater than. For this, x < 5 is the correct answer because we know that x has to be less than 5.
I hope this helps :)
