Let's begin by putting together some equations:

Seth has charges $39 and then $13 per hour. Since "hour" is our variable, let's write that as $13h where h = the number of hours.

Seth = 39 + 13h, $39 plus $13 times the number of hours

Malcolm charges $55 and then $11 per hour. So:

Malcolm = 55 + 11h, $55 plus $11 times the number of hours

Our goal is to find out how many hours both have to work before they charge the same amount. So let's set our Seth and Malcolm equations equal to one another.

39 + 13h = 55 + 11h, because we want to solve for h to see the number of hours.

First let's subtract 39 from each side:

(39 + 13h) - 39 = (55 + 11h) - 39
13h = 16 + 11h

Now let's subtract 11h from each side:

(13h) - 11h = (16 + 11h) - 11h
2h = 16

Simplify and solve for h by dividing each side by two:

(2h)/2 = (16)/2
h = 8

So Malcolm and Seth would have to work for 8 hours before both earn the same amount. After 8 hours, Seth would earn more than Malcolm. Before 8 hours, Malcolm would earn more than Seth.

A boat has a speed of 15 mph in still water. It travels downstream from Greentown to Glenavon in g hours. It then goes back upst
Lerok [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.  Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:

B = speed of the boat in still water  

C = speed of the current

Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.

How do we find the two equations we need?  

Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).


Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)

The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour.  On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour.  The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour.  Put this info in the second column in the chart.  Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!

One of the zeros of the polynomial function is 5.
maks197457 [2]
The last term  is -100 so  its either a or d.
Try a:-

(x^2 - 25)(x-2)(x - 2)

= x^2 - 25 (x^2 - 4x + 4)

= x^2 + 4x^3 + 4x^2 - 25x^2 + 100x - 100
= x^4 + 4x^3 - 21x^2 + 100x - 100   

Its a.
