d=vt
360=(v_{s})(3)+(v_{n})(3)
360=(v_{s})(3)+((v_{s}-10)(3)
360=3v_{s}+3v_{s}-30
390=6v_{s}
v_{s}=\frac{390}{6}=65
v_{n}=v_{s}-10=65-10=55

The south car is traveling at 65mph. The north car is traveling at 55mph.

3x +3(x-10) = 360

3x +3x-30 =360

6x-30 =360

6x=390

X = 390/6 = 65

65-10 =55

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

We need two inequalities, one for time worked at each job and the other

for amounts of money earned.

time:  Let b and c represent the time (number of hours) worked at babysitting and landscaping respectively.  Then b + c ≤ 20 hrs/wk

earnings:  Let ($3/hr)(b) represents the amount of money earned babysitting for b hour.  Let  ($7/hr)(c) represent the money earned working at landscaping.  These amounts are <em>per week</em>.  The appropriate inequality is  ($3/hr)(b) +  ($7/hr)(c) ≥ $84 per week.  The other inequality is

b + c ≤ 20 hrs/wk.

Part b:

As before, b + c ≤ 20 hrs/wk.  What happens if Chet spends all his 20 hours babysitting?  To answer this, set c = 0 (no landscaping hours).  Then b ≤ 20 hours.  At $3/hr, he could earn only $60 and have no time left for landscaping.  Not good.

Let's experiment:  suppose he works 15 hours babysitting and 5 hours landscaping.  His earnings would be $45 + $35, or $80.  Still not enough; he wants to earn $84 total.    Let's redistribute his time and try again:  suppose he works 14 hours babysitting and 6 hours landscaping; his earnings would be $42 + $42, or $84.  So {b = 14 hours and c + 6 hours} is a solution.  As we continue to reduce the number of hours Chet works babysitting and correspondingly increase those he works landscaping, his earnings will go up, beyond $84.

Here's a table that summarizes this:

babysitting          landscaping    total amount

  hours                   hours               earned

      15                          5                      $60 (not acceptable)

       14                         6                       $84 (borderline acceptable)

       12                          8                       $36 + $42 = $78 (great)

        6                          14                       $116 (greater still)

         2                          18                     $132

          1                           19                      $134

          0                          20                      $140

Summary:  Chet can work anywhere from 0 to 14 hours babysitting and expect to earn $84 or more.

WILL GIVE BRAINLESS <br>factor the polynomial
Svetach [21]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

This is factor by grouping. In factor by grouping, write a quadratic trinomil as 4 terms and group by parenthesis. Then factor by GCF in each pair. If the two parenthesis match, the factoring has worked and the factors will be the GCFs as one and the parenthesis as one other.

The factors here are the GCFs 2x^2 and -3 as (2x^2-3) and the parenthesis (x-5).
