Answer:

I got  65

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit will be given as:

P=$15x−$225  

(where we subtracted the cost of the mower) so that  P=$750

x will be the required number of needed lawns.

We need to solve:

$750=$15x−$225  

rearranging:

x=$750+$225 /  $15  =65  lawns

How many solutions does this linear system have?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

One solution: (2.5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use substitution for the solution. Substitute y=2x-5 to -8x-4y=-20 so that you end up with -8x-8x+20=-20. Next you want to add like terms which will be -16x+20=-20, next you want isolate x by subtracting 20 from both sides and leaves you with -16x=-40. Divide -16 on both sides to fully isolate x and will leave you with x=2.5. Now substiture in 2.5 for x in y=2x-5 to get y=2(2.5)-5 which will then lead to y=0.

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of -2/3 and passes through point (-3,-1)
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

y = -2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope

(-3,-1) = (x,y)

<em>Plus in the coordinates</em>

-1 = -2/3(-3) + b

<em>negative times negative = positive</em>

-2/3 * -3 = 2

-1 = 2 +b

<em>Use inverse operations</em>

-2 --2

-3 = b

y = -2/3x - 3

6^{5(x+5)}=6^{3(3x-5)}

5(x+5)=3(3x-5)

5x+25=9x-15

25=4x-15
