The manager of a furniture factory finds that it costs $2200 to manufacture 100 chairs in one day and $4000 to produce 300 chair

s in one day. (A) Assuming that the relationship between cost C and the number of chairs produced x is linear, find an equation that expresses this relationship.

C - cost;  x - the number of chairs produced;
Linear equation: y = m x + b  ( m = ?, b = ? )
2200  = 100 m  + b  / * ( -1 )(we will multiply both sides of the equation by -1) 
4000 = 300 m + b
--------------------------
- 2200 = - 100 m - b
+
 4000 =  300 m + b
----------------------------
1800 = 200 m
m = 1800 : 200 ,  m = 9 ( we will then plug in the first equation )
2200 = 9 * 100 + b
2200 = 900 + b
b = 2200 - 900,  m = 1300
Answer:  C = 9 x + 1300

Tristan is working two summer jobs, making $7 per hour babysitting and $19 per hour lifeguarding. Tristan must earn at least $21
rodikova [14]

Answer: 7bb +19 ll ≥210

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality:

The product of the number of hours he works babysitting (bb) and the amount he earns per hour (7); plus The product of the number of hours he works lifeguarding (ll) and the amount he earns per hour 19; must be higher or equal to the amount he must earn this week (210)

Mathematically speaking:

7 bb + 19 ll ≥210

A philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year. If the fund initially has $450,000 how much will
Ann [662]

After 7 years fund balance will be $2152336.05 if the philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent. \rm y = a^x

where a is a constant and a>1

We have:

A philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year.

We can find the amount left after 7 years as follows:

A = 450000(1 - 0.1)⁷

10% of a fund each year.

Rate r = 10% = 0.1

A = 450000(0.9)⁷

A = $2152336.05

Thus, after 7 years fund balance will be $2152336.05 if the philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year.

What is a and b pls answer ASAP I need it !!! Plsss
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The value of a = 5.

the value of b = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points on the line

  • (6, 10)
  • (a, 8)
  • (4, b)
  • (2, 2)

Given that all of the points are on the same line and the line represents a linear function.

Thus, the slope between any two points must be the same.

First, determine the slope between (6, 10) and (2, 2)

(x₁, y₁) = (6, 10)

(x₂, y₂) = (2, 2)

Using the formula

Slope = m =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

               =  [2 - 10] / [2 - 6]

               = -8 / -4  

               = 2

Thus, the slope of the line = m = 2

Determine the value 'a'

(x₁, y₁) = (6, 10)

(x₂, y₂) = (a, 8)

Using the slope formula to determine the value of 'a'

Slope =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

As the slope between two points is 2.

now substitute slope = 2, (x₁, y₁) = (6, 10) and (x₂, y₂) = (a, 8) in the slope formula

Slope =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

2 = [8 - 10] / [a - 6]

2(a - 6) = 8 - 10

2a - 12 = -2

2a = -2 + 12

2a = 10

divide both sides by 2

a = 5

Therefore, the value of a = 5.

Determine the value 'b'

(x₁, y₁) = (2, 2)

(x₂, y₂) = (4, b)

Using the slope formula to determine the value of 'b'

Slope =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

As the slope between two points is 2.

now substitute slope = 2, (x₁, y₁) = (2, 2) and (x₂, y₂) = (4, b) in the slope formula

Slope =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

2 = [b - 2] / [4 - 2]

2(4 - 2) = b - 2

8 - 4 =b - 2

4 = b - 2

b = 6

Therefore, the value of b = 6

The sum of eight times a number and fifteen is seven
asambeis [7]
8x+15=7

In the statement the phrase the sum of can tell you that it is going to be an addition problem. So 8x ( eight times a number) would be added to the 15, 8x+15. Since its an addition problem the part where it says ' ... is seven', you know that it will all equal 7. So the answer would be 8x+15=7.
