Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

40−x=3x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

40−x=3x

40+−x=3x

−x+40=3x

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

−x+40−3x=3x−3x

−4x+40=0

Step 3: Subtract 40 from both sides.

−4x+40−40=0−40

−4x=−40

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x

−4

=

−40

−4

x=10

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Hey there!

We can write this equation, where x is the hourly rate and y is the fixed fee.

4x+y=270

7x+y=420

4x+y=270

-7x-y=-420

-3x=-150

x=50

4(50)+y=270

200+y=270

y=70.

The fixed fee is G. $70.

Let me know if this helps :)

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

w is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

y \leqslant  \frac{1}{3} x - 2

If we choose the point (3, 0), we obtain

0 <= -1, which is not true. So we shade the region to the left of x = 4 (which is a dashed vertical line) and below

y = (1/3)x - 2 (which is a solid line).

Phantasy [73]
<h3>Answer:  1075 square feet</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

As shown in the diagram below, I've drawn a blue horizontal line to split the figure into two rectangles (smaller one up top, larger down below).

The smaller rectangle up top is 25 ft by 8 ft, giving an area of 25*8 = 200 sq ft.

The larger rectangle down below is 35 ft by 25 ft so we have an area of 35*25 = 875 sq ft.

The total area is 200+875 = 1075 square feet

Notes:

  • We can write "square feet" as "sq ft" or as "ft^2" without quotes.
  • The portion "5 ft", in the upper left corner, is never used.
