Explanation:
The equation for this problem can be modeled in y = mx + b form.
m represents the rate of change and b represents the initial value or constant.
y = 10x + 20
x represents the number of hours he spent delivering newspapers
y is his total money after whatever number of hours he worked
The rate is 10, because it determines how much money he earns for each hour.
The y-intercept is 20, representing the starting amount of money in his bank account.
11.5 kilograms
3.5kilo - 15kilo = 11.5kilo she can carry in luggage
Use simultaneous equations:
2x + 7 = x^2 + 8x - 9
7 = x^2 + 6x - 9
16 = x^2 + 6x
+ or - 4 = 7x
answer is
-4/7 or 4/7
