Answer: I believe it would be 7 hours.  

Step-by-step explanation: He already had $100 in his bank account so he would only need to work to pay off the remainder of the cost. So, if you do $179.99-$100 you get the remainder which is $79.99. Then you would divide $79.99 by $12.25 (his hourly pay) to find the amount of hours he would have to work. It was about 6.5 hours but you can't work for half an hour, so you would round up to 7 hours total to have enough money to pay for the TV.

I hope this helped!! Good luck :)

Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

John already has $100 in his account if he works for 7 hours he will make $85.75 which is more than enough and he will have $185.75. If he worked for 6 hours he will make only $73.50. Which then he will have $173.50. So that is why the answer is 7 hours.

Which of the following best describes a regular polygon when the sum of its interior angles is 1260?
Nitella [24]
Nonagon - 9 sides

Sum of interior angle of a polygon is (n-2)180 = x

N is the number of sides, so when you plug in 1260 for x, you get 9 for n

Slope Intercept form can someone please help me I am so confused
Andreyy89
You want to get familiar with what the slope-intercept form equation means. even though the discussion board covers some of this... slope-intercept is y = mx + b, and in it, x and y are a point on your graph (x, y), m is the slope, and b is your y-intercept. in word problems, any constant will typically be b.

but, really, to answer this word problem, you don't have to think so hard about y = mx + b. just read the problem and bring your information together:

"the venue will cost $1500 to rent for an evening"
"$25 per person"

so they only gave you two bits of information, and you just have to decide where they fit. if the venue costs $1500 for an evening, that's a fixed cost--the 1500 isn't going to go up or down depending on the number of people at the charity event. it stays. you're paying 1500 regardless, even if 2 people show up. because the discussion board states that b should represent your starting amount, you're automatically $1500 in the hole, because you have to spend that much to get the venue. you will, however, write it as a positive integer, because the question wants you to calculate the total cost, by my understanding--you're adding the cost of the people with the cost of the venue.

$25 is not a fixed amount. if it's $25 per person, then if 2 people come, it costs $50, if 3 people arrive, it costs $75. this cost is dependent upon the number of people, which you can call "x"

with that information, write any other equation you would for a word problem:

y = 25x + 1500

that's your equation, and it just so happens that this equation is in y = mx + b format. the x-value represents the number of people who show up for the charity; the y-value represents the overall cost.

and you need three solutions for this equation--which, luckily, is a quick and easy process!! choose an x-value and solve for y.

y = 25x + 1500

when x = 1...
y = 25(1) + 1500
y = 25 + 1500
y = 1525
ordered pair: (1, 1525)

when x = 2...
y = 25(2) + 1500
y = 50 + 1500
y = 1550
ordered pair: (2, 1550)

when x = 3...
y = 25(3) + 1500
y = 75 + 1500
y = 1575
ordered pair: (3, 1575)

i hope that helped!!

Which value of x makes the inequality 2(8 – x) &lt; 4 true? A. x = –16 B. x = –9 C. x = 4 D. x = 10
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

If we plug in any negative number as x, the result will always be greater than 4, which rules out answers A and B

lets try plugging in 4 as x to test answer C:

2(8-4)

2(4)= 8

8 is greater than 4, therefore C is wrong.

Lets try 10 as X (answer D):

2(8-10)

2(-2)

-4

We know that -4 is less than 4, therefore it makes the inequality true! :)
