Start by finding her hourly rate. 32.50/5 = 6.5
Next times 6.5 * 8 = 52
Working 8 hours she would make $52
I wish I made that much.
Multply both sides of the equation by 7.

When the variable is in the numerator of a proportion like this, you can solve it by multiplying by that denominator. That multiplication cancels the denominator and gives you the value of the variable.
In general, you multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x. When that coefficient is 1/7, you multiply by 7/1. Of course, you know that 7/7 = 1 and that x/1 = x.
Hi there!
From this problem we can pull out some key information and remove any excess.
- The trail is 1/4 of a mile long.
- Angelo rode around the trail 8 times.
- Angelo claims he rode 8/4 miles.
- Teresa claims he rode 2 miles.
From that we know that if Angelo rode around the trail 8 times and the trail is 1/4 a mile, he in total rode 8/4 of a mile.
However, Teresa claims he rode 2 miles!
And the answer is... they're both correct!
Angelo did indeed ride 8/4 miles however that is equivalent to 2 miles so they are both in the right.
We can tell if this is a factor of the polynomial shown by using the remainder theorem.
First, we need to set x + 1 equal to 0.
x + 1 = 0
Now, we solve for x.
x = -1
Now, we can plug this value into the polynomial, and if the solution is 0, it means there is a remainder of 0, which means they divide perfectly.
(-1)^3 - 10(-1)^2 + 27(-1) - 12 = -50
x + 1 is not a factor of the provided polynomial.
Answer:
X represents time
Y represents the number of spray paint t-shirts
M = 2/1
B = 30
Equation: y = 2/1x + 30
