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.

An automatic doughnut machine can produce 1500 doughnuts in 9 hours.
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1 hr, 48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

you can create a proportion:

doughnuts/hours = doughnut/hours (h)

1500/9 = 300/h

cross-multiply to get:

1500h = 2700

h = 27/15

h = 1 12/15, which is 1 hr, 48 minutes because 12/15 = 48/60

Describe in detail two different real-world situations in which you could use the Pythagorean Theorem.
omeli [17]

Answer:

you can use it in architecture and construction

Step-by-step explanation:

say you are building a sloped roof. If you know the height of the roof and the length for it to cover, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal length of the roof's slope. You can use this information to cut properly sized beams to support the roof, or calculate the area of the roof that you would need to shingle. I hope this helps!
