Answer:
d \large \frac{1,962,800-84,000m}{36,000}=
e \large 84,000m+36,000w=1,962,800
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Budgeted amount = $1,962,800
Cost of resurfacing a mile of 2- lane road = $84,000
Salary of additional worker = $36,000
Number of miles = m
Number of workers = w
equations that represents the relationship between the miles of 2-lane roads the department could resurface, m, and the number of new workers it could hire, w, if it the entire budget is spent ;
(Cost of a mile of 2-lane road * number of miles) = total budget
(84000m + 36000w) = 1,962,800
To make w, the subject of the formula :
36000w = 1962800 - 84000m
w = (1962800 - 84000m) / 36000
To make m, the subject of the formula :
84000m = 1962800 - 36000w
m = (1962800 - 36000w) / 84000
