Answer:

Part a) y=18.50x+100

Part b) The total cost is \$220.25

Part c) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write a linear equation to represent this situation

Define the variables

Let

x ----> the number of hours

y ----> the total cost in dollars

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or the unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

In this problem we have that

The unit rate or slope is equal to

m=\$18.50\ per\ hour

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

b=\$100

substitute

y=18.50x+100

Part b) Use the equation to find the total cost to rent skis from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm

Remember that

3:00 pm=15:00

so

from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, the total hours is equal to

15:00 -8:30=6:30=6.5 h

For x=6.5 h

substitute in the linear equation and solve for y

y=18.50(6.5)+100\\y=\$220.25

Part c) What does your answer mean in context of the problem?

we have that

y=220.25

That means -----> The total cost to rent skis for 6.5 hours is equal to $220.25

2*10⁴-7³ please help​
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

19657

Step-by-step explanation:

By PEMDAS, we know we have to calculate the exponents first, then multiply the 2, and then subtract the 7³

2*10⁴ = 20000

20000 - 7³ = 19657

This is the third time I've seen this question. Are you posting this question again and again?
