Answer:

He should work 6\frac{2}{3} hours in overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of hours of regular time and y represents the number of hours of overtime,

Since, earnings are $24 per hour for regular time and $36 per hour for overtime,

Thus, total earning = (24x + 36y) dollars,

Here, x = 40 hours and total earning = $ 1200,

By substituting the values,

1200 = 24(40) + 36y

1200 = 960 + 36y

240 = 36y

⇒ y = 6\frac{2}{3}\text{ hours}

Hence, he should work 6\frac{2}{3} hours in overtime.

Consider the equation y = 4.2x and the table below that represents this relationship. X= 0, 2, 4, 6, Y= 0, 8.4, 16.8, 25.2
enyata [817]
Please present the relationship in a table arranged vertically:

<span>this relationship. X= 0, 2, 4, 6, Y= 0, 8.4, 16.8, 25.2   becomes:

</span><span> x        y
---    -----
 0       0
 2      8.4
 4     16.8
 6     25.2

Notice that as x increases by 2 units from 2 to 4, y increases by 8.4 units to 16.8.  Thus, the slope of this line is 
        16.8
m = -------- = 8.4
          4-2

Your problem statement sounds incomplete; what were you asked to do here?

You could compare the equations of the 2 functions:

y = 4.2x and
y = 8.4x 

The slope of the 2nd function is twice that of the first function.  Both graphs go through the origin, (0,0).</span>

liraira [26]

Step-by-step explanation:

Get the square root of 316 which is 17.8

To get surface area you do cross section area x6

17.8×17.8×6=1896

To get volume you do length ×height ×width

17.8×17.8×17.8=5639.752cm³ or 5640cm³ if rounded off
