Answer:

<h2>After four and a half hours, they will paint the same amount of area.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x hours.

So, Naomi paints at a rate of 2x which means 2 square feet per hour. Additionally, we know that she already painted 16.5 square feet. All this is expressed as

N=2x+16.5

On the other hand, Claire paints at a rate of 4x, that is, 4 square feet per hour. She already painted 7.5 square feet. All this can be expressed as

C=4x+7.5

If we want to find the time where the paint an equal number of square feet, we just need to make then equal, that is

N=C\\2x+16.5=4x+7.5

Then, we solve for x

2x+16.5=4x+7.5\\16.5-7.5=4x-2x\\2x=9\\x=\frac{9}{2}=4\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, after four and a half hours, they will paint the same amount of area.

A new video game is expected to sell 100 copies the first hour at a local game store. After that, the sales will follow the func
Mazyrski [523]
To answer this you need to make simple thought experiment. Since the number of sales after time passes cannot go negative (note that rate at which copies are sold can drop over time but total number cannot) that means that you are adding number of sales at first hour and during first hour.

first option cannot be the answer because you are subtracting 100 copies to total number of sold copies which is not logical.

The answer is D)   s(x) = 100 + 12(x-1)
after 1 hour (if you replace x with 1 in equation above) you will get 100 copies which matches conditions in the text.
