x and 4x are supplementary to each other, meaning they add up to 180. So your equation is 180=5x. Divide both sides by 5 to get 36=x.

Answer:
Yes, they make sense outside the context of temperature.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are standing in a line, and mark your current position as 0 then if you take two steps ahead it can be counted as positive and if you take two steps back from your current position it can be counted as negative. The positive and negative can denote your forward and backward movement respectively.
If we denote the growth in companies revenue as positive and dip as negative then it would also make sense. A positive number would mean profit for the company while a negative sign would show loss.
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
