<span>Part A: Write an equation to represent each company's total charges for cleaning a certain number of loads of laundry. 
lets x = # of loads
</span><span>Company A : 20x + 8
</span><span>Company B:  24x + 4

</span><span>Part B: Which company would charge less for 5 loads of laundry? Justify your answer. (3 points)

</span>Company A : 20x + 8 = 20(5) + 8 = 100 + 8 = 108
Company B:  24x + 4 = 24(5) + 4 = 120 + 4 = 124

Company A charges $16 less than company B <span>for 5 loads of laundry
</span>
<span>Part C: How much money is saved by using the services of Company A instead of Company B to clean 9 loads of laundry? (3 points)
</span>
Company A : 20x + 8 = 20(9) + 8 = 180 + 8 = 188
Company B:  24x + 4 = 24(9) + 4 = 216 + 4 = 220

220 - 188 = $32

You would save $32 <span>by using the services of Company A instead of Company B to clean 9 loads of laundry</span>

Part A:
Company A: Charges= $20x+$8
(I knew 20 was the coefficient for x instead of 8 because in the question it says $20 "per a load" which is a clue that it is multiplied by a variable. I knew that 8 did not come with a variable because it was describribed as a one time charge for using the laundry service)

Company B: Charges= $24x+$4

the variable used for both equations was "x".
variable x= number of loads of laundry that Jake has.





Part B: which company would charge less for 5 loads of laundry? (so, when x=5)

Comp. A: C= 20x+8
C= 20(5)+ 8
C= 100 +8
C= $108

For company A, the total charges for 5 loads is $108.

Comp. B: C= 24x +4
C=24(5)+4
C=120+4
C=$124

For compamy B, the total charges for five loads add up to $124. COMPANY A CHARGES LESS FOR 5 LOADS OF LAUNDRY BECAUSE 124>108.



Part C: How much money is saved by using the services of Company A instead of Company B to clean 9 loads of laundry? (so, when x=9, what is Cb-Ca = to?)

Comp.A: C=20x+8
C=20(9)+8
C=180 + 8
Ca=$188

Comp. B: C=24x+4
C=24(9)+4
C=216+4
Cb=$220


Final answer part C:
Cb-Ca= answer
220-188=$32

$32 are saved by using Company A rather than Company B.

slope =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-1-5)/(1--1)

m=-6/2

m=-3

y-y1=m(x-x1)  point slope form

y-5 = -3 (x--1)

y-5 = -3 (x+1)

distribute

y-5 = -3x -3

add 5 to each side

y = -3x+2

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

a ratio of cats to dogs is 5:3 so the total of that ratio is 8 so for every 8 animals there are 5 cats so 5/8*104=65

b. ratio of dogs to cats is 3:5 so 3 of every animal is a dog so 3/8*104 =39

and 39+65=104 as a final check = 104

this also proves that dogs are better than cats
