What is the solution to this system of equations, and what does it mean to the contractor? The solution (0, 20) tells the contra

ctor the minimum amount that can be charged. The solution (0, 500) tells the contractor the maximum amount that can be charged. The solution (25, 20) tells the contractor the number of hours on a job where the hourly rate is the same for both billing options. The solution (20, 25) tells the contractor the number of hours on a job where the hourly rate is the same for both billing options.

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

A contractor has two choices for billing a completed job.

· $500 flat rate, regardless of the number of hours worked

· $20 per hour worked

The graph shows the relationship between pay per hour and number of hours worked for both scenarios.

What is the solution to this system of equations, and what does it mean to the contractor?

A.The solution (0, 20) tells the contractor the minimum amount that can be charged.

B.The solution (0, 500) tells the contractor the maximum amount that can be charged.

C.The solution (25, 20) tells the contractor the number of hours on a job where the hourly rate is the same for both billing options.

D.The solution (20, 25) tells the contractor the number of hours on a job where the hourly rate is the same for both billing options.

Answer:

The graph is attached below.

C.The solution (25, 20) tells the contractor the number of hours on a job where the hourly rate is the same for both billing options.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the graph, the x-axis represents the number of hours worked and the y-axis represents the rate in dollars per hour.

The hourly rate is given as $20.

The solution to the given lines drawn on the graph is the point of intersection of the two curves.

As we observe from the graph, the point of intersection of the two curves is at (25,20). The point tells the contractor that when the hourly rate is $20, then the number of hours worked will be 25.

So, when the hourly rate is same for both the billings, then the number of hours worked will be 25.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

What is the graph of 3x + 5y = –15?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Graph is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = –15

To graph the equation , we need to get y alone

3x + 5y = –15

Subtract 3x on both sides

5y = -3x–15

Divide whole equation by 5

y=-\frac{3x}{5} -3

To graph this equation , we need to make a table

Plug in some number for x  and find out y

x                y=-\frac{3x}{5} -3

0                -3

-5                0

Two points on the graph is (-5,0)  and (0,-3)

Graph is option A

Find the measure of angle C of △ABC, if:<br> m∠A=60°+α, m∠B=60°−α.
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

In a triangle, sum of three angles=180°

So, A+B+C=180

C=180-A-B

C=180-60-a-60+a

C=60°

Hope it helps :-)

THEIR AGES
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Tom’s age is 7 years

Mary’s age is 13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we do not know the ages, let’s represent the ages by variables at first.

Let m represent mary’s age will t represent Tom’s age.

Now, let’s proceed to have equations.

Adding square of Tom’s age (t^2) to mary’s age give 62

t^2 + m = 62 •••••••(i)

Adding square of mary’s age (m^2) to Tom’s age give 176

m^2 + t = 176 •••••••(ii)

Now, to get the individual ages, we will need to solve both equations simultaneously.

Solving both equations simultaneously without mathematical softwares can be a little hard.

By the use of mathematical software ( wolfram alpha to be specific), we can input both equations and allow the software to solve.

By inputing these equations, we have the values of t to be 7 and m to be 13

And if we try to check by inspection, we can see that these values are actually correct.

7^2 + 13 = 62

13^2 + 7 = 176
