Answer:

y = 12x + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The fixed amount of monthly allowance = $ 50,

Also, the earning per hour = $ 12,

If she works x hours in a month,

Then her total earning in x hours = 12x,

Also, total earning for a month ( say y ) = earning for x hours + fixed allowance

⇒ y = 12x + 50

Which is the required linear equation.

Two customers went to a post office to buy postcards and large envelopes. Each postcard
astraxan [27]

The right answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the postcards

y be the large envelops

According to given statement;

14x+5y=12   Eqn 1

10x+15y=24.80   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3;

3(14x+5y=12)\\42x+15y=36\ \ \ Eqn \ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3;

(42x+15y)-(10x+15y)=36-24.80\\42x+15y-10x-15y=11.20\\32x=11.20\\

Dividing both sides by 32

\frac{32x}{32}=\frac{11.20}{32}\\x=0.35

Putting x=0.35 in Eqn 1;

14(0.35)+5y=12\\4.90+5y=12\\5y=12-4.90\\5y=7.10

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{7.10}{5}\\y=1.42

Therefore, one large envelope costs $1.42

The right answer is Option A.

There are four blue marbles, an unknown number of red (r) marbles, and six yellow marbles in a bag. Which expression represents
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

There are a total of 4 + r + 6 marbles in the bag

The probability of a blue is  \frac{4}{10+r}  

The probability of a red is  \frac{r}{10+r}  

The probability of choosing a blue, replacing it and then a red is

\frac{4}{10+r} × \frac{r}{10+r}  =  [tex]\frac{4r}{100+20r+ r^{2} /[tex]

Pls help me!!!! I'm stuck on how to solve this!!??
Luda [366]
Let A represent the value of the car after each year.
A= initial value (P)×(1+percent increase(r)) ^time
A=P×(1+r)^t
A=18710×(1+(-12%))^8
A=18710×(1-12%)^8
A=18710×(1-0.12)^8
A=18710×(0.88)^8
A= 6728.7619591115
The best approximation is 6729
Therefore the value of the car will be about $6729 after 8 years
Your answer is B.
