Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope
So if line Q has a slope of 3
Line R which is parallel to Q must have a slope of 3
We have $8.50 an hour gross minus $2.15 an hour tax and bennys. Then $3.75 daily expense. In one week our net take-away y after x hours is
y = x(8.50 - 2.15) - 5(3.75)
That's the answer, or we can simplify it to
Answer: y = 6.35 x - 18.75
Answer: The slope, 6.35, is the net dollars per hour <em>before weekly expenses.</em>
Answer: The y intercept, -18.75, is the weekly expense, negative because it's an expense.
To make $120 in a week, we solve for x where y=120
120 = 6.35x - 18.75
138.75 = 6.35 x
x = 138.75 / 6.35 = 21.8503937007874
That wasn't the nice round number I was expecting/hoping for. I don't see a mistake so let's go with
Answer: 21.85 hours to make $120
It will be 75$ i guess the question is a bit wrong please recheck
Answer:
7 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of one piece of string = 28 feet.
Length of the second string = 42 feet.
Since the number of required pieces was not given but many are required, the greatest length can be determined by;
If the maximum length is 7 feet, then:
the number of pieces from 28 feet long string = 
= 4
Also,
the number of pieces from the 42 feet lone string = 
= 6
Total number of 7 feet strings that she can make = 4 + 6
= 10
Since many pieces are required, the greatest length she can make is 7 feet. If she increase the length to 14 feet, the number of pieces would be 5 which limit the required number.
The solution is (10,2) or x=10, y=2. Hope this helps :)
