Answer:

Yes. Suri and Juan can make the same amount of wages by working 25 hours in one week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each of them work x hours per week.

Suri makes $15 per hour, so in x hours Suri will make $ 15x. The total wages per week for Suri will be:

Total Wages = y = 15x + Bonus = 15x + 25

Juan makes $14 per hour, so in x hours Juan will make $ 14x. The total wages per week for Juan will be:

Total Wages = y = 14x + Bonus = 14x + 50

If they will make the same wages, their wages must be equal, i.e.

15x + 25 = 14x + 50

15x - 14x = 50 - 25

x = 25

This result shows us that if Suri and Juan work for 25 hours per week they will make the same amount of wages.

What is the solution to the following system?<br> -4y=8 <br> x+3y-3z=-26<br> 2x-5y+z=19
Viktor [21]
⓵
-4ỿ = 8

Simplify the left side in order to isolate the ỿ!

-4ỿ = 8
+4 +4

Ỿ = 12

⓶
× + 3y - 3z = -26

Simplify the left side in order to isolate the ×, ỿ and z!

× + 3y - 3z = -26
÷3 ÷3

× + ỿ - 3z = -8,66 periodic
÷-3 ÷-3

× + ỿ + z = 2,88 periodic

⓷
2× - 5ỿ + z = 19

Simplify the left side in order to isolate the ×, ỿ and z!

2× - 5ỿ + z = 19
÷2 ÷2

× - 5ỿ + z = 9,5
÷-5 ÷-5

× + ỿ + z = -1,9

Pls help due in an hour
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

4) Yes

5) Yes

6) Yes

7) No

Step-by-step explanation:

4) When we look at the table in the question, we can see the pattern is comics x 3 = price.

We know the definition of a proportional relationship is when one number is increased, the other is as well. So, it is in a proportional relationship.

5) We do the same thing here, we notice that we can divide the number of bikes by 5 to get the number of trips.

So, this is a proportional relationship.

6) The same reasoning applies to 6, we can see they follow a pattern.

7) All of them can be multiplied by 2, except the last one can't, so this is NOT a proportional relationship.
