Madelyn is working two summer jobs, making $20 per hour lifeguarding and making $12 per hour clearing tables. In a given week, s

he can work no more than 13 total hours and must earn no less than $180. If Madelyn worked 8 hours lifeguarding, determine all possible values for the number of whole hours clearing tables that she must work to meet her requirements. Your answer should be a comma separated list of values. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

Answer:

The possible values of the number of hours clearing tables are 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- Madelyn is making $20 per hour life guarding

- She is making $12 per hour clearing tables

- She can work no more than 13 total hours

∴ The greatest time she can work is 13 hours (≤)

- She must earn no less than $180

∴ The least money she wants to earn is $180 (≥)

- If Madelyn worked 8 hours life guarding and assume that she

 worked x hours clearing tables

∵ She can work no more than 13 hours

∴ 8 + x ≤ 13

- Subtract 8 from both sides

∴ x ≤ 5 ⇒ (1)

∵ She must earn no less than $180

∴ 8 × 20 + x × 12 ≥ 180

∴ 160 + 12x ≥ 180

- Subtract 60 from both sides

∴ 12x ≥ 20 ⇒ (2)

- From equation (1) ⇒ x = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5

- Substitute x in equation (2) by these values to find the right values

 of x

# If x = 1

∴ 12(1) ≥ 20

- But 12 is less than 20

∴ x can not be 1

# x = 2

∴ 12(2) ≥ 20

∴ 24 ≥ 20

- 24 is greater than 20 then x can be 2

∵ 3 , 4 , 5 greater than 2

∴ All of them give answers greater than 20

∴ x can be 3 , 4, 5

∵ x represents the number of hours for clearing tables

∴ The possible values of the number of hours clearing tables are

   2 , 3 , 4 , 5 hours

PLZ HURRY Which line is perpendicular to a line that has a slope of One-half? line AB line CD line FG line HJ
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

line FG

Step-by-step Explanation:

In the diagram, line CD passes through

The slope of this line is found using the formula,

We substitute the values to get,

So line CD is the line with slope

From the graph we can see clearly that, the only line that is perpendicular to CD is line FG.

Line FG also passes through

We can verify that the product of these two slopes is negative 1.

Therefore the correct answer is C

Find the Perimeter of this shape. Can someone explain to me how to find the perimeter.
Agata [3.3K]
The little lines in each side show that the sides are the same length but you also need to find the length of the smaller side which isn’t the same. For this imagine that the shape is split into a square and a triangle and you need to find the long side of the triangle using Pythagoras
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
20^2 + 20^2 = 800
Square root of 800 = 28.3
Then do 28.3-20=8.3
So I think the answer is 20+20+20+20+20+8.3=108.3 cm

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence. Then find the fifth term in the sequence.
mr_godi [17]
The sequence:  a 1 = - 4,  a 2 = 8,  a 3 = -16,...
a 2 = a 1 * r
8 = - 4 * r
r = 8 : ( - 4 ) 
r = - 2
a n = a 1 * r^(n-1)
a 5 = - 4 * ( - 2 ) ^4 = - 4 * 16 = - 64
Answer:
The fifth term in the sequence is - 64.
