Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

So what you have to do is set the two equal to one another and solve for x

50+36x=35+39x

-35 -35

15+36x=39x

-36x -36x

15= 3x

/3 /3

5=x

Answer: it would take 5 hours of labour before you pay the same amount for both companies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours of labour that you pay for company A or company B

Let y represent the total amount paid for x hours of labour at company A

Let z represent the total amount paid for x hours of labour at company B

company A charges $50 for a service call plus an additional $36 per hour for labor.. This means that the total amount for x hours of labour would be

y = 36x + 50

company B charges $35 for a service call plus an additional $39 per hour of labor. This means that the total amount for x hours would be

z = 39x + 35

To determine the number of hours of labour before the amount for both companies becomes the same, we would equate y to z. It becomes

36x + 50 = 39x + 35

39x - 36x = 50 - 35

3x = 15

x = 5

What is the solution to 2sin^(2)x+sinx+1=0
Alexus [3.1K]
Well you can try rewriting it to this

answer is   d  270

first start of by factoring  and subtracting the 1 into the right side

sin(x)  ( 2 sin (x)  + 1)  = -1  

set each one equal to -1 

sin( x) = -1   and   2 sin (x) +1 =  -1 

                              2 sin (x) = -2
                               sin ( x) = -1 
so therefore we have our final equation

sin ( x )  = - 1  and sin (x) = -1 

so then you look in your unit circle and find what coordinate equals -1 in terms of sin x

Which equation represents a line which is parallel to the line 8y-3x=-8
marin [14]

First, we need to make the equation given to be in the form;

y=mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the intercept

8y - 3x = -8

Add 2x to both-side of the equation

8y = 3x - 8

Divide through the equation by 8

y = 3/8 x -1

comparing the above with y =mx + b

m = 3/8

slope of parallel equations are equal

From the options given the only equation with slope 3/8 is;

y= 3/8 x + 8

y=\frac{3}{8}x\text{ + 8}

The above equation of the line is parallel to 8y - 3x = -8
