Answer: 2x+3y=18

Step-by-step explanation: Any line parallel to 2x+3y+11=0 is the form 2x+3y =k this can also be written as x/(k/2)+y/k/3 =1 this is the line whose sum of the intercepts is 15, then k/2 +k/3 = 15 after solving we get that indeedk= 18.

Melinda and Marcus each have a job. Melinda earns $12 an hour. She also receives a $75 weekly bonus.

Olenka [21]

According to given information,
Equation of Melinda Earning = 75 + 12x
Equation of Marcus Earning = 15x
Where, x = Number of hours they worked.

Now, we need to calculate when they will have same amount of money, so for that instance they shall equal to each other.
75 + 12x = 15x
15x - 12x = 75
3x = 75
x = 75/3
x = 25

After 25 hours, they will have the money = 15(25) = $375

So, your final answer is $375

Hope this helps!
