mafiozo [28]

Answer:

28 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Adena, Julius, and Tia volunteered to read to children at the public library.

Let us represent, the number of hours worked by

Adena = x

Julius = y

Tia = z

Julius worked two hours less than Tia.

y = z - 2

z = y + 2

Adena worked twice as many hours as Julius.

x = 2y

Altogether they worked 58 hours.

x + y + z = 58.... Equation 1

We substitute 2y for x and y + 2 for z in Equation 1

2y + y + y + 2 = 58

4y + 2 = 58

Collect like terms

4y = 58 - 2

4y = 56

y = 56/4

y = 14

We are the find the number of hours Adena worked which is represented by x

Note that:

x = 2y

y = 14, hence,

x = 2 × 14

x = 28 hours

Therefore, the number of hours Adena worked is 28 hours

The office manager of a small office ordered 140 packs of printer paper based on average daily use, she knows that the paper wil

Mandarinka [93]

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

So slope intercept form is The office manager of a small office ordered 140 packs of printer paper based on average daily use, she knows that the paper will last about 80 days

(A) Lets make a table

X axis represents the Number of days paper used

y axis represents the packs of printer paper used

x y

days packs of printer paper used

0 0 (0 days , 0 packs used)

80 140 (in 80 days , 140 packs paper used)

The graph is attached below

(B) To find Equation of a line we use points (0,0) and (80,140)

$slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{140-0}{80-0} = \frac{7}{4}$

y intecept is (0,0)

so b= 4

Slope intercept form of a line i y=mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

So slope intercept form of line becomes

$y= \frac{7}{4} x$

Standard form is Ax + By =C

$y= \frac{7}{4} x$

Multiply both sides by 4

4y = 7x

Now subtract 7x on both sides

-7x + 4y =0 is the standard form

(c) To find packs of printer paper the manager expect to have after 30 days, Plug in 30 for x and find out y

$y= \frac{7}{4} x$

$y= \frac{7}{4}(30)= 52.5$

Total 140 packs of printer paper

52.5 packs of paper used

Packs of paper remaining after 30 days = 140- 52.5= 87.5

To shop a package, a company charges a one-time fee plus a fee based on the weight of the package. The table below shows the tot

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

C = $5 + $1.5(w)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information :

Total shipping cost :

One time fee + fee based on package weight

Given the table :

Weight in pounds - - - - Total shipping cost($)

___4__________________11

___8__________________17

___12_________________23

___16_________________29

We can deduce from the table

For a package that weighs (w) 4 pounds

Total shipping cost = $11

Let one time fee = f

Fee based on weight = r

f + 4(r) = 11 - - - - - (1)

For a package that weighs (w) 8 pounds

Total shipping cost = $17

One time fee = f

Fee based on weight = r

f + 8r = 17 - - - - - (2)

From (1)

f = 11 - 4r - - - (3)

Substitute f = 11 - 4r in (2)

11 - 4r + 8r = 17

-4r + 8r = 17 - 11

4r = 6

r = 6/4

r = 1.5

Put r = 1.5 in (3)

f = 11 - 4(1.5)

f = 11 - 6

f = 5

Hence one time fee = $5

Charge based on weight = $1.5

Hence, Total shipping cost 'C' for a package weighing 'w' will be :

C = $5 + $1.5(w)
