Answer:

235

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure the rates per hr.

110/3 = 36 2/3

160/5 = 32.

So, the rates are not the same.

Knowing a bit about plumbers, they normally charge a basic fee to just show up, and then they charge per hr.

In cases like these, where we're asked to project to a new data point (in this case an 8-hr job), you should immediately think of a graph. The x-axis would be the hours worked. The y-axis would be the charge for the work (the cost of the job).

We're given two pairs of values:

(3,110) and (5,160).

The next step is to fit a line to them.

y = mx+b is the general equation for a line.

m = the slope = rise/run = change in y / change in x

Call the change in y, dy (for delta y).

Call the change in x, dx (for delta x).

m = dy/dx = 50/2 = 25

The slope is thus 25, which means for each hour, the price goes up by $25. That means the plumber charges $25/hr.

We also know the plumber charges $110 for a 3-hr job. 3*25 = $75. So the base charge would be $110-75 = $35.

y = 25x + 35

Checking this formula at x=3, we know it is 110.

Checking it at x=5, we obtain:

y = 25*5 + 35 = 125 + 35 = 160.

That checks.

Now to figure an 8-hr job, set x=8 and use the equation"

y = 25*8 + 35.

y = 200 + 35.

y = 235.

That means an 8-hr job costs $235.

What dose 2+7x=5x+14 equal
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

2+7x=5x+14

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2+7x-2=5x+14-2

7x=5x+12

Subtract 5x from both sides:

7x-5x=5x+12-5x

2x=12

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{12}{2}

x=6
