Answer:

hours=1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation. Note key words like "plus", "per" and "total"

130+56h=214

where h is the total hours worked. Solve for h:

Subtract 130 from both sides and simplify

130-130+56h=214-130\\56h=214-130\\56h=84

Divide both sides by 56 to isolate the variable

\frac{56h}{56} =\frac{84}{56}\\\\h=\frac{84}{56} \\\\h=\frac{3}{2} \\\\h=1.5

The plumber worked for an hour and a half.

Done.

Answer:

The plumber worked for 1.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 130 + 56x

Substitute 214 for y in the equation

214 = 130 + 56x

-130   -130                      Subtract 130 from both sides

84 = 56x                         Divide both sides by 56

1.5 = x

CRITICAL THINKING A local zoo employs 36 people to take care of the animals each day. At most, 24 of the employees work full tim
k0ka [10]

We assume all employees are either full-time or part-time.

36 = 24 + 12

If the number of full-time employees is 24 or less, the number of part-time employees must be 12 or more. (Thinking, based on knowledge of sums.)

_____

You can write the inequality in two stages.

  1. First, write and solve an equation for the number of full-time employees in terms of the number of part-time employees.
  2. Then apply the given constraint on full-time employees. This gives an inequality you can solve for the number of part-time employees.

Let f and p represent the numbers of full-time and part-time employees, respectively.

... f + p = 36 . . . . . . given

... f = 36 - p . . . . . . . subtract p. This is our expression for f in terms of p.

... f ≤ 24 . . . . . . . . . given

... (36 -p) ≤ 24 . . . . substitute for f. Here's your inequality in p.

... 36 - 24 ≤ p . . . . add p-24

... p ≥ 12 . . . . . . . . the solution to the inequality
