Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost
C (x) = 35+ 60x
Where,
Fixed cost= $35
Variable cost = 60x
x= number of hours of work
Total cost is the addition of fixed and variable cost
C (x) = 35+ 60x
C(5)= 35 + 60(5)
= 35 + 300
=335
C(5) = 335
C(5) = 335 is Olivia's total cost of hiring the electrician
x=5 is the electrician's number of hours of work
35= fixed cost of hiring the electrician
60(5) = 300 is the variable cost of hiring the electrician for 5 hours
Answer:
Vanessa is 60 and the other person is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
X + 5x = 72
6x = 72
x = 12
12 x 5 = 60
vanessa is 60
the other person is 12
60 + 12 = 72
1 lb = 16 oz
Translating the unit into oz gives us
166oz - 123oz = 43oz or 2lb 11oz
Simplify brackets
2/5(x - 4) = 2x
Simplify 2/5(x - 4) to 2(x - 4)/5
2(x - 4)/5 = 2x
Multiply both sides by 5
2(x - 4) = 10x
Divide both sides by 2
x - 4 = 5x
Subtract x from both sides
-4 = 5x - x
Simplify 5x - x to 4x
-4 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4
-1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>
