      ¹/₃(33x + 15) - ¹/₃(21x + 18) = 10
¹/₃(33x) + ¹/₃(15) - ¹/₃(21x) - ¹/₃(18) = 10
   11x + 5 - 7x - 6 = 10
   11x - 7x + 5 - 6 = 10
      4x - 1 = 10
      + 1   + 1
   4x = 11
      4 4
   x = 3³/₄

a cleaning service charges an hourly rate plus a flat fee of $15 for supplies. philip uses the service for 3.5 hours for his spr

Sergeu [11.5K]

Using linear function concepts, it is found that he can correctly determine the hourly rate as follows:

subtract the supply fee, 15 dollars from the total cost, then, divide the difference by the number of hours.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

$y = mx + b$

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, which can also be interpreted as the initial value of a function that is valid only for $x \geq 0$ , such as is the case in this problem.

The flat fee is of $15, hence b = 15, then:

$y = mx + 15$

Philip uses the service for 3.5 hours for his spring cleaning, and his total is $232, hence when x = 3.5, y = 232, so we use it to find the hourly rate m.

$y = mx + 15$

$232 = 3.5m + 15$

$m = \frac{232 - 15}{3.5}$

Hence, the correct option is:

subtract the supply fee, 15 dollars from the total cost, then, divide the difference by the number of hours.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The first listed equation is the correct equation to solve

The correct answer is: t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me mention first that there is an error in the statement that the gravitational pull of the Earth is 16 ft/s^2. It is in fact 32 ft/s^2, and the actual equation uses half of the acceleration multiplied by the square of the variable time, so it gives as final expression :

$y(t)=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400$

and we want to find the value/s for "t" that make this equation equal zero (when it reaches the ground and the object just touches the ground. This makes the equation we want to solve:

$0=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400\\16\,t^2+0\,t -400=0$
