Answer: y= 25+2.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = base pay , b = additional amount per newspaper.

Given: Last week, Pedro delivered 5 newspapers and earned $37.50.

i.e. 37.50=a+5b      (i)

This week, he delivered 20 newspapers and earned $75.

i.e. 75=a+20b         (ii)

Eliminate (i) from (ii)

37.50=15b

\Rightarrow\ b=\dfrac{37.50}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ b=2.5, i.e. additional amount per newspaper= $2.5

Put b= 2.5 in (i)

37.50=a+5(2.5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 37.50=a+12.5\\\\\Rightarrow\ a=37.50-12.5\\\\\Rightarrow\ a=25, i.e. base pay = $20

Let x= Number of newspapers Pedro delivers.

y=  Earnings he receives in dollars.

y= 25+2.5x will be the required function.

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The stick has a length of 5 units

The stick is broken at two points chosen at random

First break: the probability that you get a piece that is 1 unit or longer than 1 units= 1/5.

Second break, the probability that you get a piece that is 1 unit or longer than 1 units is 1/5.

Therefore,

The total probability =probability of first break * probability of second break * original stick unit

=1/5 * 1/5 * 5

= 1/25 *5

=5/25

=1/5

Which sets of coordinate pairs lie on the line created by the equation 2x-2=y?
Agata [3.3K]
X intercept=(1,0)
Y intercept=(0,-2)
You get x by substituting 0 for y and you get y by substituting 0 for x therefore to find y coordinates,
2(0)-2=y
0-2=y
-2=y so (0,-2)
And to find x coordinates,
2x-2=0
2x=2
2x/2=2/2
X=1 so (1, 0)

Monte performs an experiment using 2 identical graduated cylinders, each with a radius of 2 centimeters. The volume of the liqui
elena55 [62]
Volume of a cylinder is h x r^2 x pi

You have the volume and radius of each one, so taking 188.4=(2)^2 x 3.14 x h1, you can solve this equation for the height h1. Likewise, for the other graduated cylinder you take 314=2^2 x 3.14 x h2, and then solve for h2.

To get the difference in heights, just take h2-h1 after solving the equations for h2 and h1

Solve the system of equations and choose the correct ordered pair.
nasty-shy [4]
The answer is D

Because if you replace the variables just by testing them they give the answer as X=-3 and Y=3.
In which replacing:
3(-3)+5(3)=6
and with the other equation we've got:
4(-3)+2(3)=-6
so they comply with the required to be the correct answer, even though you can make a system of equation.
