A tiling company completes two jobs. The first job has $1200 in labor expenses for 40 hours worked, while the second job has $15

60 in labor expenses for 52 hours worked. The relationship between the labor expenses and the hours worked is linear. Which equation can be used to calculate the y-intercept of the linear equation? 1200 = 40 (40) + b 1560 = 30 (40) + b 1560 = 30 (52) + b 1200 = 52 (30) + b

Answer:

The correct option is;

1560 = 30(52) + b

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the first job = $1,200 in labor and expenses

The number of hours worked in the first job = 40

The second job costs $1,560 in labor and expenses

The number of hours worked in the second job = 52

If the cost of labor per hour = L and the expenses = b, we have;

$1,200 = 40×L + b......................(1)

$1,560 = 52×L + b.......................(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from (2), we have;

52×L + b - (40×L + b) =  52×L - 40×L + b - b = $1,560 - $1,200 = $360

12×L = $360

L = $360/12 = $30/hour

From equation (1), we have;

$1,200 = 40×L + X =  40×$30 + b

Therefore, the equation that can be used to calculate the y-intercept of the linear equation is either;

1200 = 40(30) + X or 1560 = 32(52) + b, which gives the correct option as 1560 = 32(52) + b

Solve the system of linear equation 8X plus 5Y equals 18 and 6X plus Y equals -2 by using the linear Combination method Emmaus d
Hunter-Best [27]

\text{The solution is } x = \frac{-14}{11} \text{ and } y = \frac{62}{11}

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>

8x + 5y = 18 ------- eqn 1

6x + y = -2 -------- eqn 2

Multiply eqn 2 by -5

-30x -5y = 10 ----- eqn 3

Add eqn 1 and eqn 3 so that y terms gets eliminated

8x + 5y = 18

-30x -5y = 10

( + ) --------------

-22x = 28

Divide both sides by -22

x = \frac{28}{-22}\\\\x = \frac{-14}{11}

Substitute the x value in eqn 1

8(\frac{-14}{11}) + 5y = 18\\\\\frac{-112}{11} + 5y = 18\\\\5y = 18 + \frac{112}{11}\\\\5y = \frac{310}{11}\\\\y = \frac{62}{11}

\text{Thus the solution is } x = \frac{-14}{11} \text{ and } y = \frac{62}{11}
