X = shorter piece
y = longer piece = 5x
shorter piece + longer piece = 60
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10 in. <== shorter piece
y = 5x
y = 5(10)
y = 50 in. <== longer piece
Answer:
6x - 11y = -13 is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's plug in the points to see what sticks.
Start with (-4, -1)
1) 11x - 6y = 11(-4) - 6(-1) = -44 + 6 = -38
13
2) 6x - 11y = 6(-4) - 11(-1) = -24 + 11 = -13
3) 6x - 7y = 6(-4) - 7(-1) = -24 + 7 = -17
17
4) 6x - 11y = 6(-4) - 11(-1) = -24 + 11 = -13
13
The only one that fits is #2. Let's try the other point to be sure.
2) 6x - 11y = 6(1.5) - 11(2) = 9 - 22 = -13
37 is 26%(rounded up to the nearest percent) of 144
Answer:
Find how much she will be paid per mile to make it easier.
.25 * 4 = 1
.90 * 4 = 3.60
Now you know she earns 3.60 per mile, multiply that by 7.
3.60 * 7 = $25.20 total.
