Answer:
9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Landon hours = x
Ben hours = y
x + y = 14 - - (1)
60x + 56y = 820 - - - (2)
From (1)
y = 14 - x
60x + 56(14 - x) = 820
60x + 784 - 56x = 820
4x = 820 - 784
4x = 36
x = 36/4
x = 9
Landon drove for 9 hours
You can see that every decade the income increases by 6,250. So if you want to do 5 years instead you would have to add 3,125 to the income of 1980 to find what the income was for 1985. Now you add 33,750+3,125= 36,875. The financial aid cutoff for 1985 would be $36,875.
To solve this, you distribute the -y to both terms, 2 and 4y.
It will look something like this: (2*-y)+(4y*-y)
When you simplify, look for any like terms that can be combined, and if none, then leave it as it is.
Your final answer will be: -2y-4y^2
