Answer:

<em>22=\frac{350+12x}{x}</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha's weekly paycheck is $350 and she earns $12 in tips each hour. So, 12x represents the amount she earns in tips for working x hours. To find the total amount Samantha earns after working x hours, add the amount of her weekly paycheck and her amount earned in tips.

350+12x

Next, to find Samantha's average hourly earnings over the course of a week, divide the total amount that she earns in a week by the number of hours that she works, x.

\frac{350+12x}{x}

It is given that the average amount earned per hour for one particular week was $22. Therefore, set the above expression equal to 22 in order to create the rational equation that can be used to determine the number of hours Samantha worked that week.

22=\frac{350+12x}{x}

Answer:(350+12x)/x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the amount of money Samantha can earn throughout the week. This is represented by 12x+350

Then, divide that by the number of hours worked in a week (x).

Then, set it equal to 22 (the average hours worked).

Evgen [1.6K]
The graph provides distance as a linear function of time.
The y-intercept is zero.

The line passes through (0,0) and (6,120).
Calculate the slope.
m = (120 - 0)/(6 - 0) = 20

The equation of the line is
d = 20t
where
t = time, hours
d =  distance, miles

Therefore distance is the dependent variable.
When t = 24 hours, the distance is 20*24 = 480 miles.

Answers:
(a) Distance is the dependent variable
(b)The equation relating the two variables is
    d = 20t
    where
    t = time, hours
    d = distance, miles
(c) In 24 hours, the dragonfly will travel 480 miles.

Find the slope and the equation please<br><br>and step by step PLEASE.​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

y = \frac{-4}{5}x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run, or the vertical progression over the horizontal progression.

Your example has a line that heads downwards, so we know that the slope is negative. If we count the squares, the "rise" is down by 4. We count the squares going horizontally and there are 5. So, your slope is \frac{-4}{5}.

The other half of the equation is the y-intercept, or where the line crosses the y axis. It appears to be at (0 , 1), so we can say that your y-intercept is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 divided by 3 is 3

That means for every 1 meters is 6 meters shadow wise because 3 meters equal to .5 meters.

6 meters of the pole times 6 meters per one real meter equals 36 shadow meters.

Hope that helped, if it did please give me the brainliest.

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow.
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

ΔBCD and ΔACE are the similar triangles.

Therefore, by the property of similar triangles, corresponding sides of these similar triangles will be proportional.

\frac{AC}{BC}= \frac{EC}{DC}

\frac{AB+BC}{BC}= \frac{ED+DC}{DC}

\frac{AB+6}{6}= \frac{24+8}{8}

\frac{AB+6}{6}= \frac{32}{8}

\frac{AB+6}{6}=4

AB + 6 = 24

AB = 18

Option (B) will be the answer.
