Answer:2.8 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The current fence height id 2 m
The gardener is told that he must increase the height of his fence by 40%
so new height is
%




Y=mx+b
x=number of newspapers
37.5 earned for 5 newspapers
37.5=5m+b
earned 75 and deliverd 20 newpapers
75=20m+b
we have
37.5=5m+b and
75=20m+b
multiply first equaiton by -1 and add to other equaiton
-37.5=-5m-b
<u>75=20m+b +</u>
37.5=15m+0b
37.5=15m
divide both sides by 15
2.5=m
sub back to find b
75=2.5(20)+b
75=50+b
minsu 50 both sides
25=b
y=2.5x+25 is lnear funtion
So you just plug in 3 into variable p in the equation. C=12(3)+5
C=26+5
C=31
