e a professional lawn care service to maintain the property or do it themselves. Below are the costs associated with both options:
Professional Service Option Do-It-Yourself Option
$75 for the first month $250 lawnmower
$45 per month after initial visit $135 edger
Includes mowing and edging the $69 hedge trimmer
lawn, trimming the bushes, and $25 rake
raking the leaves.


How long would it take before the Hendersons would recover their costs if they chose to do it themselves over the professional service?
a.
5 months
b.
9 months
c.

First, add together the costs for buying their own stuff. 250+135+69+25=479.

Then figure for the professional costs. Put it in perspective of a year. 45*11+75=570. 

Then subtract. Professional- DIY. 570-479=91. 

$91 is about 2 months worth of work. So a year has 12 months.

12-2=10

Answer:10 months

Professional Service Option Do-It-Yourself Option:

First month lawnmower = $250

Initial visit = $135

Price for mowing and edging = $69

Price for lawn and bushes trimming = $ 25

Hence, total cost becomes = 250+135+69+25 = $479

Professional service cost for 1 month lawnmower = $75

Professional cost for visit for 11 months (1st visit costs $135) = $45

Total cost for 11 months = 45*11 = $495

Total professional cost = 495+75 = $570

Now, subtracting the professional cost and do it yourself cost we get;

$570-$479=$91. 

This $91 is for 2 months worth of work. Hence, months needed to recover costs = 12-2 = 10 months

Hence, the answer is 10 months.

Solve the equation <br>8-2x=-8x+14
Marina86 [1]

8 - 2x = -8x + 14      <em>subtract 8 from both sides</em>

-2x = -8x + 6     <em>add 8x to both sides</em>

6x = 6     <em>divide both sides by 6</em>

<h3>x = 1</h3>

Anne creates necklaces and rings to sell. It takes her 3 hours to make a necklace and 1 hour to make a ring. If she makes 10 ite
ankoles [38]
Hi! to solve the question, how many necklaces did anne make in 16 hours if she makes 10 items in 2 standard 8-hour work days, we should first check the time she needs to make each item.

3 individual hours to make a necklace, and 1 hour to make a ring. according to the problem, she made 10 items in 16 hours. this problem will most likely be trial and error. let’s try one first guess.

my first guess will be, maybe she will make 6 rings and 4 necklaces. 6 times 1 is 6, which takes 6 hours for the rings. 4 times 3 is equal to 12. 6 + 12 is too high! let’s try again.

what about 6 rings and 2 necklaces? 6 times 1 is 6, so that’s 6 hours. 2 times 3 is 6 hours! 6 plus 6 is 12, which is close, but not quite there!

let’s try 7 rings and 3 necklaces! 7 times 1 is 7 hours. 3 times 3 is equal to 9 hours! total that together, 7 plus 9, is equal to 16 hours spent!

so, the answer would be, “Anne made 7 rings and 3 necklaces within 16 hours.” hope this helped!:)

Can someone help me with these and show the work also?
Snezhnost [94]

QUESTION:

Simplify each expression

ANSWER:

1.) \green{{- 8n}}

2.) \green{{- 2b - 60}}

3.) \green{{- 10x - 14}}

4.) for number 4 study my step-by-step explanation so you can answer that

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

1.) First, If the term doesn't have a coefficients, it is considered that the coefficients is 1

WHY?

Learn why:

Why is it considered that the coefficient is 1?

Remember that any term multiplied by \blue{{1}} remains the same :

\blue{{1}} {× x = x}

Step 1:

The equality can be read in the other way as a well, so any term can be written as a product of \blue{{1}} and itself:

{x = } \blue{{1}} {× x}

Step 2:

Usually, we don't need to write multiplacation sign between the coefficient and variable, so the simple form is:

{x = 1x}

This is why we can write the term without the coefficient as a term with coefficient {1}

Now let's go back to solving as what i said if a term doesn't have a coefficient, it is considered that the coefficient is 1

{n - 9n}

\red{{1}} {n -9n}

Second, Collect like terms by subtracting their coefficients

\red{{1n - 9n}}

\red{{( 1 - 9)n}}

Third, Calculate the difference

how?

Keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value and subtract the smaller absolute value from larger

\red{{1 - 9}}

\red{{- (9 - 1)}}

Subtract the numbers

- (\red{{9 - 1}})n

- \red{{8}}n

\green{\boxed{- 8n}}

2.) First, Distribute - 6 through the parentheses

how?

Multiply each term in the parentheses by - 6

\red{{- 6(b + 10)}}

\red{{- 6b - 6 × 10}}

Multiply the numbers

- {6b} - \red{{6 × 10}}

- {6b} - \red{{60}}

Second, Collect like term

how?

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficient

\red{{- 6b + 4b}}

\red{{(- 6 + 4)b}}

Calculate the sum

\red{{(- 6 + 4)}}b

\red{{-2}}b

\green{\boxed{- 2b - 60}}

3.) First, Distribute 2 through parentheses

how?

Multiply each term in the parentheses by 2

\red{{2(x - 5)}}

\red{{2x - 2 × 5}}

Multiply the numbers

{2x -} \red{{2 × 5}}

{2x -} \red{{10}}

Second, Distribute - 4 through the parentheses

how?

Multiply each term in the parentheses by - 4

\red{{- 4(3x + 1)}}

\red{{- 4 × 3x - 4}}

Calculate the product

- \red{{4 × 3}}x - 4

- \red{{12}}x - 4

Third, Collect like terms

how?

Collect like terms by subtracting their coefficient

\red{{2x - 12x}}

\red{{(2 - 12)x}}

Calculate the difference

\red{{(2 - 12)}}x

\red{{- 10}}x

Fourth, Calculate the difference

how?

Factor out the negative sign from the expression

\red{{- 10 - 4}}

\red{{- (10 + 4)}}

Add the numbers

- (\red{{10 + 4}})

- \red{{14}}

\green{\boxed{- 10x - 14}}

That's all I know sorry but I hope it helps :)
