Y = log3 27
27 = 3^x
3^3 = 27
so x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of people to paint the bridge is inversely proportional to the number of hours it takes.
(If there are more people, it will take less time etc.)
9 people can paint the bridge in 5 hours.
=> 2 people can paint the bridge in 5 * (9/2) = 22.5 hours.
We can make an equation from this.
Our intial value is 150 for parts, and he works for 52 dollars an hour.
We can define <em /><em>h</em> for hours and <em /><em>c</em> for total cost.
Therefore, we have:
c = 150 + 52h.
We can set this equal to 306 dollars, as that's the given total cost:
306 = 150 + 52h
Subtract 150 from both sides:
52h = 156
Divide both sides by 2:
h = 3
He worked 3 hours.
hope this helped!
