Jack and Jane are married and both work. However, due to their responsibilities at home, they have decided that they do not want

to work over 65 hours per week combined. Jane is paid $14 per hour at her job, and Jack is paid $7 per hour at his. Neither of them are paid extra for overtime, but they are allowed to determine the number of hours per week that they wish to work. If they need to make a minimum of $770 per week before taxes, what is the maximum amount of hours that Jack can work per week according to these limits?

By setting up a system of equations we can easily solve this problem. Let's denote Jane's working hours with x and Jack's working hours with y. Since they don't want to work more than 65 hours, the first equation is x+y=65. The second equation is 14x+7y=770. By solving this system of equation \left \{ {{x+y=65} \atop {14x+7y=770}} \right., we find that y=20 hours, which is Jack's maximum working hours.

What is an equation of the like with a slope of 1/4 and a y intercept of -2
SVEN [57.7K]
Y = mx + c is the general equation of a line. m is the slope and c is the y intercept, by substituting these values in you get y = 1/4 x -2

Camille uses 7.9 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. 1/4 of this amount is blue paint, and the rest
Mila [183]
First you do 7.9/ 1/4, that gets you 1.975. that is how much blue paint there is. Then you do 7.9-1.975= 5.925, which is how much white paint she used. So in total she used 1.975 pints of blue paint, and 5.925 pints of white paint.

Solve five and three sixths minus two and one third.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

3 3/18

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/6-2 1/3

We first need to turn our mixed numbers into fractions by multiplying the while number by the denominator, then adding the numerator. When we do this, 5 3/6 turns into 33/6 and 2 1/3 turns into 7/3. Now we have this:

33/6-7/3

Now we need to find the Least common multiple of the denominators in order to find our common denominator, which in this case is 6. 33/6 already has a denominator of 6, so we do not need to do anything to it. To give a denominator of 6 to 7/3, however, we must multiply by 2, giving us this:

33/6-14/6

Now we can subtract the numerators.

19/6

To turn this back into a mixed number, we divide 19 by 6, which gives us 3 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, our answer is 3 1/6. This is an equivalent fraction to the fourth answer, 3 3/18.

Which function will have a y-intercept at –1 and an amplitude of 2?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Options B and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of sine function

h(x)=A\sin (Bx+C)+D

where, |A| is amplitude, \frac{2\pi}{B} is period, \frac{-C}{B} is phase shift and D is y-intercept.

The general form of cosine function

h(x)=A\cos (Bx+C)+D

where, |A| is amplitude, \frac{2\pi}{B} is period, \frac{-C}{B} is phase shift and D is y-intercept.

In function, f(x)=-\sin x-1

Amplitude : |A|=1

y-intercept : -1

In function, f(x)=-2\sin x-1

Amplitude : |A|=2

y-intercept : -1

In function, f(x)=-\cos x

Amplitude : |A|=1

y-intercept : 0

In function, f(x)=-2\cos x-1

Amplitude : |A|=2

y-intercept : -1

Therefore, the correct options are B and D.
