The local skating rink pays Mary a fixed rate per pupil plus a base amount to work as a skating instructor. She earns $90 for in

structing 15 students on Monday afternoon. Last Friday, she earned $62 for working with 8 students. Lisa is also a skating instructor. She receives half the base amount that Mary does, but she is paid twice as much per student. Who would earn more money instructing a class of 20 students?

The expressions for the payment made to Mary are,
         (Monday)      90 = 15m + b
         (Tuesday)     62 = 8m + b
where m and b are the fee per student and the base fee, respectively. Solving for m and b, the values are 4 and 30. 
The equation that represents Mary's earning is 
                                    y = 4x + 30
 For 20 students,
                                    y = 4(20) + 30 = 110
For Lisa's earnings,
                                     y = 8x + 15
Substituting 20,
                                    y  =8(20) + 15 = 175
Thus, Lisa would earn more than Mary by $65.

Needed help with this question!
In-s [12.5K]
A) is 2x
b) is x^{3}
c) is -2x

I think these are correct.
log_{10}1000^{x] = log_{10}10^{2x}=2x
I did similar things to get other answers
1000^{log_{10}x} = 10^{3log_{10}x}=10^{log_{10}x^{3}}=x^{3}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{b}{-3}+4< 13

Step 1: Subtract 4 form both sides

Step 2: Multiply both sides by (-3). when we are multiplying by (-3) the < will change to >.

\frac{b}{-3}+4-4 9*-3\\\\b > -27
