She worked 20 hours in job A and 17 hours in Job B

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

Julie works two part-time jobs for a total of 37 hours a week

Job A pays $6.50 per hour, and Job B pays $7.40 per hour

She made $255.8 in this week

Assume that she worked x hours in job A and y hours in job B

∵ She worked x hours in job A

∵ She worked y hours in job B

∵ She worked a total of 37 hours in this week

∴ x + y = 37 ⇒ (1)

∵ Job A pays $6.5 per hour

∵ Job B pays $7.4 per hour

∵ She made $255.8 in this week

∴ 6.5x + 7.4y = 255.8 ⇒ (2)

Multiply equation (1) by -7.4 to eliminate y

∴ -7.4x - 7.4y = -273.8 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ -0.9x = -18

- Divide both sides by -0.9

∴ x = 20

Substitute x by 20 in equation (1) to find y

∵ 20 + y = 37

- Subtract 20 from both sides

∴ y = 17

She worked 20 hours in job A and 17 hours in Job B

Please help I think these are the right answers!!!
Papessa [141]

We performed the following operations:

f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}\mapsto g(x)=2\sqrt[3]{x}=2f(x)

If you multiply the parent function by a constant, you get a vertical stretch if the constant is greater than 1, a vertical compression if the constant is between 0 and 1. In this case the constant is 2, so we have a vertical stretch.

g(x)=2\sqrt[3]{x}\mapsto h(x)=-2\sqrt[3]{x}=-g(x)

If you change the sign of a function, you reflect its graph across the x axis.

h(x)=-2\sqrt[3]{x}\mapsto m(x)=-2\sqrt[3]{x}-1=h(x)-1

If you add a constant to a function, you translate its graph vertically. If the constant is positive, you translate upwards, otherwise you translate downwards. In this case, the constant is -1, so you translate 1 unit down.
