We can find this by creating a function to represent how many lawns she's mowed. 


f(x) = 46x - 343

The 46x represents the profit of 46 dollars per month for each lawn mowed and the -343 is the cost of fuel per month to remove it from profit. We now need to set this function to 800, and solve for x.

800 = 46x - 343
1143 = 46x
25.58 = x

Because she can't mow part of a lawn, we need to round to a whole number. Our options are to round down to 25 or round up to 26. Lets start with the lower number first, and see if the profit for that many lawns is over 800.

f(25) = 46(25) - 343
f(25) = 1150 - 343
f(25) = 807

Because 25 is over 800 dollars, we don't need to calculate 26. Therefore, she needs to mow at least 25 lawns to make a profit of at least 800 dollars a month.

Answer:

Equation: 3(x+5)=60

Solution: 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original side length of the equilateral triangle. Then, the new length of each side is x+5. Because a triangle has three sides, the new perimeter is 3(x+5), which is 60 inches. Dividing both sides by 3, we get that x+5=20, so x=15.

Nick and his cousin Sara have the same birthday, but Nick is four years older than Sara. Let the variable X relresent Nick's age
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Let X represent Nick's age and Y represent Sara's age.

Then, it is given that: Nick is four years older than Sara.

We write the statement as:

X=4+Y

or Y=X-4

The only ordered pairs (X,Y) which satisfy the equation are: (0,-4) and (4,0) as you can see in the graph also.

In the graph X axis represents the age of Nick's age and Y-axis represent the age of Sara's age and the line Y=X-4 represents the relationship between the age of both.

When finding the product (x – 3)(x + 4), what would you add to get the final answer?
kotykmax [81]
When multiplying out you get:

x2+4x-3x-12....

so you'd be adding the +4x to the -3x

x2 + x - 12
