Lia must work at least 5 hours per week in her family’s restaurant for $8 per hour. She also does yard work for $12 per hour. Li

a’s parents allow her to work a maximum of 15 hours per week overall. Lia’s goal is to earn at least $120 per week. Write a system of inequalities to represent this situation. Let r be the number of hours worked at the restaurant, and let y be the number of hours of yard work. Graph the inequalities. What is the maximum number of hours Lia can work at the restaurant and still meet her earnings goal? Explain. What is the maximum amount of money Lia can earn in 1 week? Explain.

Answer:

(a)

r\geq  5

r+y\leq 15

8r+12y\geq 120

y\geq 0

(c)Maximum number of hours Lia can work at the restaurant and still meet her earnings goal = 15 hours

(d)Maximum Earning = $160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be the number of hours worked at the restaurant.

Let y be the number of hours of yard work,

Lia must work at least 5 hours per week in her family’s restaurant for $8 per hour.

r\geq  5

Since she does yard work, y\geq 0

Lia’s parents allow her to work a maximum of 15 hours per week overall.

r+y\leq 15

Lia’s goal is to earn at least $120 per week.

The restaurant, r pays $8 per hour

Yard work, y pays $12 per hour.

Therefore:

8r+12y\geq 120

The system of inequalities that represent this problem is therefore:

r\geq  5

r+y\leq 15

8r+12y\geq 120

y\geq 0

(b)The graph of the inequality is attached below

(c)When the graph is plotted, the vertices of the feasible region are:

  • (5,10)
  • (5, 6.7)
  • (15,0)

Where the first term is for the number of hours worked in the restaurant.

The maximum value of r possible is 15 from the three points.

Therefore, she can work at the restaurant for 15 hours and still meet her earning goal.

(d)Maximum Amount Lia can earn in 1 Week

  • At (5,10), Earning=(5X8)+(10X12)=40+120=$160
  • At (5, 6.7), Earning=(5X8)+(6.7X12)=40+80.4=$120.4
  • At (15,0) Earning=(15X8)+(0X12)=$120

Since she has to work at least 5 hours at the restaurant, the maximum amount possible is $160.

find the point-slope equation of the line perpendicular to the line y=2x+5 passing through the point (1,4). (please include solu
pishuonlain [190]
First off, let's keep in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm so what's the slope of y = 2x + 5?

well, notice, that equation is in slope-intercept form, thus   \bf y=\stackrel{slope}{2}x+5.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}
{2\implies \stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{2}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}}

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/2 and runs through 1,4.

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad \qquad \qquad 
slope =  m\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-4=-\cfrac{1}{2}(x-1)

Simplify the expression below. (2n/6n+4)(3n+2/3n-2)
andrezito [222]

Answer:

\frac{n}{3n-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

\frac{2n}{(6n+4)} \cdot \frac{3n+2}{3n-2}

Using the distributive property: a \cdot (b+c) =a\cdot b+a\cdot c

\frac{2n}{2(3n+2)} \cdot \frac{3n+2}{3n-2}

Simplify:

\frac{2n}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3n-2}

Simplify:

\frac{n}{3n-2}

Therefore, the simplified given expression is, \frac{n}{3n-2}

X+6 /3 = 2+x-2/5
olasank [31]
We can treat this problem like you regularly subtract fractions. First find the common denominator, which is 15.

So:

5(x+6)/15 = 30/15 + 3(x-2)/15

(5x+6)/15 - (30/15) - (3x - 6)/15


As you already know the answer, I'm assuming you can do the rest.

Hope this helps!
