Answer:

The answer to your question is c = -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Function = f(x) = cx - 3

x = 1.5

f(x) = -5.25

Process

Substitute

                  -5.25 = 1.5c - 3

Solve for c

- Add 3 units in both sides

                  -5.25 + 3 = 1.5c - 3 + 3

- Simplify

                         -2.25 = 1.5c

- Divide both sides by 1.5

                         -2.25/1.5 = 1.5/15 c

- Simplify and result

                          -1.5 = c

Charlotte’s weekly paycheck is based on the number of hours worked during the week and on the weekend. If she works 13 hours dur
Gelneren [198K]
I am setting the week hourly rate to x, and the weekend to y.  Here is how the equation is set up:

13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70

This is a system of equations, and we can solve it by multiplying the top equation by 4, and the bottom equation by -7.  Now it equals:

52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90

Now we add these two equations together to get:

-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (divide both sides by 53) x = 8.10.  This is how much she makes per hour on a week day.

Now we can plug in our answer for x to find y.  I am going to use the first equation, but you could use either.

$105.30 + 14y = $250.90.  Subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40

Now we know that she makes $8.10 per hour on the week days, and $10.40 per hour on the weekends.  Subtracting 8.1 from 10.4, we figure out that she makes $2.30 more per hour on the weekends than week days.
