Answer:
f(x) = 12x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We need a linear equation in the slope-intercept form.
y = mx + b
where y = total pay, m = hourly salary, x = number of hours worked, and b = y-intercept, or initial value
Let's look in the table.
1 hour: $22
2 hours: $34
The difference in pay between 1 hour and 2 hours is $34 - $22 = $12.
The difference in time between 1 hour and 2 hours is 1 hour.
In 1 hour he earns $12. That means the slope is 12.
We know he earns $22 for working a total of 1 hour.
Start at 1 hour and $22 on the table.
Subtract 1 hour from 1 hour to get 0 hours.
Subtract $12 form $22 to get $10.
That means for 0 hours he gets $10. b = 10
The equation is
y = 12x + 10
In function form, we have:
f(x) = 12x = 10
5) w/8 =11+5 → w/8=16
w=16÷8=2
6)a/-2 -6=1
a/-2=7
a=7×-2=-14
7)k/2=22
k=44
Answer:
18ft wide and 33 ft long
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that:
Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 20 ft wide and 35 ft long.
The Area of the carpeting she must have = 594 ft²
To solve for this, we have:
Length × Width = Area of a rectangle
594ft² = Length × Width
594ft² = (20 - x) (35 - x)
594 = 700 - 20x - 35x + x²
594 = 700 - 55x + x²
Collect like terms
x² - 55x + 700 - 594
x² - 55x + 106
We factorise
x² - 2x - 53x + 106
(x² - 2x) -(53x + 106)
x(x - 2) -53(x - 2)
(x - 2)(x - 53)
x - 2 = 0, x = 2
x - 53 = 0, x = 53
We choose the least value for x
Hence, x = 2
Length = 20 - 2 = 18ft
Width = 35 - 2 = 33ft
The dimensions the rug should have is 18ft by 33ft, meaning 18ft wide and 33 ft long
