Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

in y=mx+b, m represents the slope. Let's try to get your equation to look like that. We can see that on the left side, the y is not yet alone so we must try to accomplish that. to do that we divide by -8 from the -8y, but we must also do that to the other side. you would get y=-2/8x-5/8. then we would simplify the -2/8x into -1/4x. Now it is y=-1/4x-5/8 and that resembles y=mx+b. m is slope and -1/4 is m.

Mr. Evens Is paid $9.20 per hour for the first 40 hours he works in a week he is paid 1.5 times that rate for each hour after th

spin [16.1K]

I don't agree with his statement. The first part says that he was paid $9.20 for the first 40 hours so we multiply them (9.20 x 40) to get 368. Then it says that he was paid 1.5 times that rate for every hour after that. The rate is "$9.20 per hour" so you find 1.5 times $9.20. You multiply $9.20 by 1.5 to get $13.80 per hour. Now you have to find how much money he got after the initial 40 hours. It says he worked 42.25 hours, and we already figured out how much money he got the first 40 hours ($368). So for the remaining 2.25 hours, Mr.Evens is paid $13.80 an hour. So we multiply 2.25 by $13.80 to get $31.05. To find out the total amount of money accumulated, we add. $368 + $31.05 is $399.05 which means that Mr.Evens is not correct. Hope this helped :]

<u>Solution: </u>

Information provided in the question seems to be less . so assuming following two things.

1)Given function p = n + 5 do not include shipping cost as shipping cost is also dependent on number of tees.

2)If shipping charges for 3 tees is 5 , then shipping charges of 1 tee is $\frac{5}{3}$
