Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M = total amount of money earned

M = 12x+8y

To make more than $190, the equation is:

190<12x+8y

Since Trevor is going to scoop ice cream for 20 hours, the equation is:

190<12x+8(20), which simplifies to 190<12x+160.

Isolate x to find the amount of hours that Trevor needs to tutor.

190-160<12x

30<12x

30/12<x

2.5<x

Trevor must tutor for more than 2.5 hours to make more than $190.

Answer:

x > 2.5 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 8(20)= 190

  12x + 160 = 190

   12x = 30

    x > 2.5 hrs

A skydiver falls 144 feet in 3 seconds. How far does the skydiver fall per second?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
If a skydiver falls 144 feet in 3 seconds in you need to find the time per second that they’re falling, you would simply have to get the time per one second. You have to get the 3 to one, so you would divide by 3 on both sides, getting 48 feet per second. (assuming they fell at the same rate all 3 seconds)
