Money is earned by the hour.
Therefore all you have to do is divide the second column by the first column.

Caleb: 36.25/5; or $7.25 an hour.
Jeremy: 65.25/7.5; or $8.70 an hour.
Maria: 34.00/4.25; or $8.00 an hour.
Rosa: 54.00/8; or $6.70 an hour

This can be solved by using a simple algebraic equation.

For example, in the first column, Caleb worked 5 hours. We do not know how much he makes per hour, so let that be x. He earned a total of $36.25, so the equation can be written as 5x=36.25.

Divide by 5 on both sides, and you get x= 7.25

He earns $7.25 per hour of work.

Repeat this for all the workers:

Jeremy: 7.5x=65.25

x= $8.70

Maria: 4.25x=34.00

x= $8

Rosa: 8x=54.00

x= $6.75


Jeremy has the greatest hourly rate

const2013 [10]

<em>y</em> - 1/<em>z</em> = 1   ==>   <em>y</em> = 1 + 1/<em>z</em>

<em>z</em> - 1/<em>x</em> = 1   ==>   <em>z</em> = 1 + 1/<em>x</em>

==>   <em>y</em> = 1 + 1/(1 + 1/<em>x</em>) = 1 + <em>x</em>/(<em>x</em> + 1) = (2<em>x</em> + 1)/(<em>x</em> + 1)

<em>x</em> - 1/<em>y</em> = <em>x</em> - (<em>x</em> + 1)/(2<em>x</em> + 1) = (2<em>x</em> ² - 1)/(2<em>x</em> + 1) = 1

==>   2<em>x</em> ² - 1 = 2<em>x</em> + 1

==>   2<em>x</em> ² - 2<em>x</em> - 2 = 0

==>   <em>x</em> ² - <em>x</em> - 1 = 0

==>   <em>x</em> = (1 ± √5)/2

If you start solving for <em>z</em>, then for <em>x</em>, then for <em>y</em>, you would get the same equation as above (with <em>y</em> in place of <em>x</em>), and the same thing happens if you solve for <em>x</em>, then <em>y</em>, then <em>z</em>. So it turns out that <em>x</em> = <em>y</em> = <em>z</em>.

Can someone please help me?

Hello there!

So, remember that m = the slope, and slope intercept form is represented as y = mx + b. To find the y intercept, place the values of x, y, and the slope into the equation.

The first step, ____ = (____)____ + b should look like 3 = (2/5)10 + b once you plug the values for your x and y values and slope.

The second step, ___ = ____ + b should look like 3 = 4 + b since you should multiply 2/5 x 10.

The final step, -1 = b should look like  since you subtracted 4 from both sides of the equation.

Y = 2/5x - 1 is your final equation. I hope this helps, have a great rest of your day!
