You can work no more than 60 hours each week at your two jobs. Dog walking pays $7 per hour and your sales job at Computers &amp

; More, Inc. pays $12 per hour. You need to earn at least $450 each week to pay your bills. Your friend solves the system of inequalities and tells you that a possible solution is (-3, 50). Is this a possible solution, why or why not?

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot work negative 3 hours, it's impossible. One possible solution would be to work 50 hours a week at dog walking for 7 dollars an hour, and 10 hours a week at Computers & More, Inc. for 12 dollars a week. This would give you 350 dollars from dog walking, and 120 dollars from Computers & More, Inc. This would be a total of 470 dollars.

Answer:

No, this is not a possible solution because it does not satisfy all inequalities of the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of hours spent on dog walking and y represents the number of hours spent on sales job at Computers & More Inc.,

Given,

Total hours can not be no more than 60 hours,

⇒ x + y ≤ 60

Dog walking pays $7 per hour and your sales job at Computers & More, Inc. pays $12 per hour.

Thus, the total earning = 7x + 12y

According to the question,

Total earning ≥ $ 450

⇒ 7x + 12y ≥ 450

Also, hours can not be negative,

⇒ x ≥ 0; y ≥ 0

Hence, the system of inequalities that shows the given situation is,

7x + 12y ≥ 450;  

x + y ≤ 60;

x ≥ 0; y ≥ 0

Since, -3 ≥ 0 ( False ),

Thus, the point is not satisfying all inequalities of the system,

Hence, it can not be the solution.

What does an increase in taxes and decrease in the money supply do to the supply and demand curves?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The supply and demand curves will shift to the left i.e. there will be a decrease in demand and supply.

Step-by-step explanation:

First: Tax is a compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the government on workers' income and business profits, or added to the cost of some goods, services, and transactions.

Secondly: Money supply is the total amount of monetary assets available in an economy at a specific time.

When tax is increased, this means individuals and businesses have to contribute more to the state revenue leaving both categories with lesser income or profit i.e. lesser to spend.

In the same way, when money supply decreases, there is lesser money available to both individuals and businesses

What this implies is that demand will decrease because income has decreased. Supply will also decrease because producers will not make as much profit given the increase in tax (tax is considered cost of production).

As a result of this, the demand curve shifts to the left, the supply curve also shift to the left because both demand and supply will decrease.

Javier is driving to Bangor, 240 miles away. If he needs to be in Bangor in 4 hours, at what rate does he need to drive?
algol [13]

In order to solve this problem, you must create a ratio. If Bangor is 240 miles away and Javier has only 4 hours to get there, we can divide 240 by 4 which equals 60 miles per hour.

Marcelina uses a blend of white corn and yellow corn to make tortilla chips at her restaurant. She needs to buy 50kg of corn in
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Option D. Marcelina spends less that the intended amount of money and buy less than enough corn

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x---->  is the amount of white corn she buys

y ---> is the amount of yellow corn she buys

we know that

She needs to buy 50 kg of corn in total

so

x+y=50 ----> equation A

She wants to spend $12 dollars total

so

0.30x+0.15y=12 ----> equation B

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (30,20)

That means

Marcelina needs to buy 30 kg of white corn and 20 kg of yellow corn

we have the ordered pair F(15.15)

That means

15 kg of white corn and 15 kg of yellow corn

therefore

Total kg of corn bought is

15+15=30\ kg

30\ kg < 50\ kg

Total spend is

0.30(15)+0.15(15)=\$6.75

\$6.75

therefore

Marcelina spends less that the intended amount of money and buy less than enough corn
