Part A: W = 10x
Part B: S = 400 + 15y
Part C: 490 = 400 +15y
-400 -400
90 = 15y
6 = y, so he worked a total of 46 hours.
For the answer to the question above,
The slope of the line of the line is calculated through the equation,
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the first two points in the given,
m = (-7 - 9) / (-12 - 8) = 4/5
The line parallel to this has also a slope of 4/5. Through the point-slope form, the equation of the second line is,
y - -15 = (4/5)(x - -5)
Simplifying gives the answer of,
y = (4/5)x -11
Eliminating the fraction,
5y = 4x - 55
I hope my answer helped you.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let their ages be x,y,z and x>y>z
x+y+z=74 ...(1)
x=(y+z)-12
or x-y-z=-12 ...(2)
y=z+5 ...(3)
add (1) and (2)
2x=62
x=62/2=31
from (1)
31+y+z=74
y+z=74-31=43
substitute from (3)
z+5+z=43
2z=43-5=38
z=38/2=19
y=19+5=24
so their ages are 31,24 and 19
