One yard company charges $10x + $50 a month to mow and edge a lawn. A second company charges $8x + $60 a month to mow and edge a

lawn. Each lawn company also offers additional services for an extra fee. Let x represent the number of additional services. Mr. Mead is comparing the two companies. How many additional services are needed for the two companies to be the same price?

<span>Set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x
 10x +50 = 8x +60
          -50 -50
-----------------
10x = 8x + 10

 10x = 8x + 10
           -8x -8x
---------------
2x = 10 2x = 10

divide by 2 on both sides x=5 five additional services are needed for the two companies prices to be equal </span>

Answer:

Are needed 5 additional services for the two companies to be the same price

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let x represent the number of additional services
  • One yard company charges $10x + $50
  • A second company charges $8x + $60

If the two companies charge the same price:

$10x + $50 = $8x + $60

$10x - $8x = $60 - $50

$2x = $10

x = $10/$2

x = 5

What is the square root of 50 rounded to the nearest hundredth?
tamaranim1 [39]
Let's write an inequality, such as follows: x < sqrt(50) < y. Square both sides of the equation. We get x^2 < 50 < y^2. Obviously, x is between 7 and 8. Also notice, that for integers a,b, (ab)^2/b^2, equals a^2. So let's try values, like 7.1. Using the previous fact, (7.1)^2, equals (71)^2/100. So, (7.1)^2, equals 50.41. Thus, our number is between 7 and 7.1. We find, with a bit of experimentation, that the square root of 50, is 7.07.

A typical tip in a restaurant is 18% of the bill. If the bill is 150,what would the typical tip be​
Natasha_Volkova [10]

<u><em>You want to leave a 18% tip on a meal that cost $150.</em></u>

<u><em>First, convert the 18% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation. For percents,this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 18%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "18%" becomes 18% / 100% = 0.18 in terms of a real mathematical number.</em></u>

<u><em>Second, you need to find out what 18% of your $150 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 0.18 by $150.00, or</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>0.18 x $150.00=$27.00.</em></u>

<u><em>So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $27.00.</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>This makes the total cost of your meal (to write on your charge slip or other payment)</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>$150.00 + $27.00 = $177.00. </em></u>

Mekhanik [1.2K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • y = -(x -3)² +3 . . . . (agrees with your answer)
  • see the attachment for a graph
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Factoring the leading -1 from the first two terms, we have ...

... y = -(x² -6x) -6

Adding 9 inside parentheses to complete the square, then adding the opposite amount outside parentheses, we have ...

... y = -(x² -6x +9) -6 +9

... y = -(x -3)² +3
