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).

A tank initially contains 60 gallons of brine, with 30 pounds of salt in solution. Pure water runs into the tank at 3 gallons pe
adoni [48]

Answer:

the amount of time until 23 pounds of salt remain in the tank is 0.088 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variation of the concentration of salt can be expressed as:

\frac{dC}{dt}=Ci*Qi-Co*Qo

being

C1: the concentration of salt in the inflow

Qi: the flow entering the tank

C2: the concentration leaving the tank (the same concentration that is in every part of the tank at that moment)

Qo: the flow going out of the tank.

With no salt in the inflow (C1=0), the equation can be reduced to

\frac{dC}{dt}=-Co*Qo

Rearranging the equation, it becomes

\frac{dC}{C}=-Qo*dt

Integrating both sides

\int\frac{dC}{C}=\int-Qo*dt\\ln(\abs{C})+x1=-Qo*t+x2\\ln(\abs{C})=-Qo*t+x\\C=exp^{-Qo*t+x}

It is known that the concentration at t=0 is 30 pounds in 60 gallons, so C(0) is 0.5 pounds/gallon.

C(0)=exp^{-Qo*0+x}=0.5\\exp^{x} =0.5\\x=ln(0.5)=-0.693\\

The final equation for the concentration of salt at any given time is

C=exp^{-3*t-0.693}

To answer how long it will be until there are 23 pounds of salt in the tank, we can use the last equation:

C=exp^{-3*t-0.693}\\(23/60)=exp^{-3*t-0.693}\\ln(23/60)=-3*t-0.693\\t=-\frac{ln(23/60)+0.693}{3}=-\frac{-0.959+0.693}{3}=  -\frac{-0.266}{3}=0.088
