Answer:
Kevin is going to be able to have enough money for the concert the fastest
Philip needs at least 4 weeks
Kevin needs at least 3 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Philip</u>
- $8.75/hour * 6 hours/weekend * 1 weekend/week = $52.5/week
Let's call x to the number of weeks Philip needs to reach $225.
52.5*x + 45 = 225
52.5*x = 225 - 45
x = 180/52.5
x = 3.43
He needs at least 4 weeks
<u>Kevin</u>
- 3 hours/day * $7.5/hour *3 days/week = $67.5/week
Let's call y to the number of weeks Kevin needs to reach $225.
67.5*y + 30 = 225
67.5*y = 225 - 30
y = 195/67.5
y = 2.9
He needs at least 3 weeks
A linear function is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. For example, a common equation,
y
=
m
x
+
b
, (namely the slope-intercept form, which we will learn more about later) is a linear function because it meets both criteria with
x
and
y
as variables and
m
and
b
as constants. It is linear: the exponent of the
x
term is a one (first power), and it follows the definition of a function: for each input (
x
) there is exactly one output (
y
). Also, its graph is a straight line.
3x-15+2x-2
=5x-17
use the distribution property
Answer: The answer is D
Step-by-step explanation: Hope this helps
Your insight that the function values differ by 5 every time is very important. So your f(x) will contain 5x as a term. You have to find a constant to add or subtract to make sure f(1)=-2.
f(x) = 5x-7 does the job.
