What is the better deal: Babysitting for 8 hours and making $72.00 or babysitting for 6 hours and making $57.00

1 answer:

5 0

The better deal would be to babysit for 6 hours and making $57.00.
1. First, I found the unit rate. How much do you make for 1 hour of work? 72/8=9. So, you make $9.00 per hour.
2. Second, I did the same thing with the other situation. 57/6= 9.50. So, you make $9.50 per hour.
3. The better deal would be to babysit for 6 hours making $57.00 because you are making more money per hour. 9<9.5

If x = 1 is a common root of ax² +ax + 2 = 0 and x² + x + b = 0 , then ab =

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

ab = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations

ax² +ax + 2 = 0

x² + x + b = 0

root of both the equation

x= 1

then we can plug in x = 1 in both the equation

ax² +ax + 2 = 0 x² + x + b = 0

a*1² +a*1 + 2 = 0 1² + 1 + b = 0

a +a + 2 = 0 1 + 1 + b = 0

2a + 2 = 0 2 + b = 0

2a = - 2 b = -2

a = -2/2 = -1

Thus,

a = -1

b = -2

a*b = -1*-2 = 2

ab = 2
