Answer:

L = 2,

O = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

First using the givens, write out some formulas.

Heavy equipment operators = O

General laborers = L

  • O + L = 33
  • 138O + 87L = 4044

Now use substitution, it doesn't matter which one you substitute.

  • O = -L +33
  • 138( -L + 33 ) + 87L = 4044

Distribute and solve for L.

  • -138L + 4554 + 87L = 4044
  • -138L - 87L = 4044 - 4554
  • -225L = -510
  • L = -510/-225
  • L = 2

L = 2, meaning number of laborers employed is 2.

Now plug 2 = L into one of the original equations.

  • O + L = 33
  • O + 2 = 33
  • O = 33 - 2
  • O = 31

O = 31, meaning number of heavy equip. operators employed is 31.

Non-collinear points are a set of points that do not lie on the same line. Don’t know if that’s what you were asking but yeah those are called Non-collinear points.. have a nice day or night or whatever lol

Hey there!

To solve the first problem, I've found it easiest to solve the equation for, say, values –2 through +2 and create a table of values for you to begin graphing this function. You may need to do more depending on the equation itself. 

Some points are: (–2, 0.75), (–1, 1.5), (0, 3), (1, 6) and (2, 12). You can check which graph matches up with these points the closest to get your answer of D. 

To solve the second problem, you'll need to use the distance equation.

x1 = –4, y1 = 3
x2 = –1, y2 = 1 
  ___________________
√ (x2–x1)^2 + (y2–y1)^2
  _________________
√ (–1–(–4)^2 + (1–3)^2
  _______________
√ (–1+4)^2 + (–2)^2
  ____________
√ (3)^2 + (–2)^2
  _____
√ 9 + 4
  ___
√ 13, making your answer D

For your third question, I always just counted the number of units the point was from the line of reflection. You'll count twice diagonally towards the line from point C for this one, staying on the "crosshairs" of the graph. All you need to do then is count two diagonal units along the same line, then you'll get your answer of (2, 6), or D. 

For your final question, A and B are immediately out, since they won't be parallel to the 4x equation. You'll need to solve both of your remaining equations for y with 2 plugged in for x; whichever one equals 7 will be your answer. In this case, it will be D. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
