One way to write a line is y=mx+b, where b is a number, m is the slope of the line, and y and x are variables that you can plug numbers into. We know that we have two points, (0,5) and (10,0). To find the slope of a line, we can use the equation
\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =  \frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}
Plugging this in for our points, we get \frac{0-5}{10-0} = -5/10=-1/2 as our slope (we get -1/2 by dividing both -5 and 10 by 5 from the previous fraction), making our equation y=(-1/2)x+b. Plugging a point in to find out what b is, we get 0=(-1/2)10+b=-5+b. Adding 5 to both sides to separate the b, we get 5=b, making our equation y=(-1/2)x+5. To find out what x is for (x,2), since the y value comes second, we can plug in 2 into our equation to get 2=(-1/2)x+5. Since we want to solve for x, we have to separate it. Subtracting 5 from both sides, we get -3=(-1/2)x. Since we can multiply -1/2 by its reciprocal (switching the numerator and denominator) to get 1 (and therefore x on the right sides as 1*x=x), we multiply both sides by -2 to get 6=x, making the point (6,2)

Answer:

L+C=14

10C+11L=145

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C represent Car Washing

Let L represent Landscaping

If Mila worked a total of 14 hours; then

L+C=14

If  Mila earned a total of $145, then

10C+11L=145

Hence;

The system of equation are:

L+C=14

10C+11L=145
