nd Kevin have taken on jobs so they can each earn at least enough money to purchase the tickets?
Philip has a job doing yard work for 6 hours each weekend earning $8.75 for each full hour he works. Philip has already saved $45.
Kevin has a part-time job at a local store working 3 hours per day for 3 days a week. Kevin earns $7.50 per hour.He currently has $30 saved.
Philip and Kevin are disagreeing about who is going to be able to have enough money for the concert the fastest. They also need to decide what is the minimum number of weeks each of them must work to get enough money for the concert tickets.
help Philip and Kevin with their disagreement. be sure to show all of your mathematical thinking to help Philip and Kevin answer their question.

Answer:

Kevin will earn the money before than Philip

Philip needs at least 4 weeks

Kevin needs at least 3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x to the number of weeks

Philip works 6 hours each weekend, which means 6 hours per week, earning $8.75 per hour, which is equivalent to 6*8.75 = $52.5 per week

Philip has already saved $45. Then he needs the next number of weeks:

52.5*x + 45 = 225

x = (225 - 45)/52.5

x = 3.4

Philip needs at least 4 weeks

Kevin works 3 hours per day for 3 days a week, which means 9 hours per week, earning $7.5 per hour, which is equivalent to 9*7.5 = $67.5 per week

Kevin has already saved $30. Then he needs the next number of weeks:

67.5*x + 30 = 225

x = (225 - 30)/67.5

x = 2.9

Kevin needs at least 3 weeks

N the slope-intercept form you use the slope of the line and the y-intercept to express the linear function.
y=mx+b
y=mx+b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Example
Graph the equation
y−2x=1
y−2x=1
rewrite in slope-intercept form
y=2x+1
y=2x+1
Identify the slope and the y-intercept
m = 2 and b = 1
Plot the point corresponding to the y-intercept, (0,1)
picture23
The m-value, the slope, tells us that for each step to the right on the x-axis we move 2 steps upwards on the y-axis (since m = 2)
picture24
And once you have your second point you can just draw a line through the two points and extend it in both directions.
picture25
You can check to see that the line you've drawn is the correct one by substituting the coordinates of the second point into the original equation. If the equation holds true than the second point is correct.
Our second point = (1, 3)
y−2x=1
y−2x=1
3−2⋅1=3−2=1
3−2⋅1=3−2=1
Our second point is a solution to the equation i.e. the line we drew is correct.
A line that passes through the origin has a y-intersect of zero, b = 0, and represents a direct variation.
y=mx
y=mx
In a direct variation the nonzero number m is called the constant of variation.
You can name a function, f by using the function notion
f(x)=mx+b
f(x)=mx+b
f(x) is another name for y and is read as "the value of f at x" or "f of x". You can use other letters than f to name functions.
A group of functions that have similar characteristics are called a family of functions. All functions that can be written on the form f(x) = mx + b belong to the family of linear functions.
The most basic function in a family of functions is called the parent function. The parent function of all linear functions is
f(x)=x

3p + 2q = 14<br> 10p + 6q = 44<br> What is p and what is q
Airida [17]

Answer:

p = 2 ; q = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given tbe equation :

3p + 2q = 14 - - - (1)

10p + 6q = 44 - - -(2)

What is p and what is q

This is a simultaneous equation ; using elimination method :

Multiply (1) by 6 and (2) by 2

18p + 12q = 84 - - - - (3)

20p + 12q = 88 - - - (4)

Subtract (3) and (4)

-2p = - 4

p = 4/2

p = 2

Put p = 2 in (1)

3p + 2q = 14

3(2) + 2q = 14

6 + 2q = 14

2q = 14 - 6

2q = 8

q = 8/2

q = 4

p = 2 ; q = 4

There are 65 children in the sixth grade. The ratio of boys to girls 3 to 2. A) how many girls are in the grade?
Akimi4 [234]

Given that,

Total number of children = 65

The ratio of boys to girls is 3 :2.

To find,

The number of girls in the grade.

Solution,

Let there are 3x girls and 2x boys.

ATQ,

3x + 2x = 65

5x = 65

x = 13

So, no of girls = 3x

= 3(13)

= 39

Hence, there are 39 girls in the grade.
