4, 8, 12, 16 I can’t see your table but I think these are the answers. :)
Look at deonomators
assuming that the deonomenators are 5x+15y and 2x+6y
find their LCM
factor
5x+15y=5(x+3y)
2x+6y=2(x+3y)
LCM=10(x+3y)=10x+30y
multiply 2/(5x+15y) by 2/2=4/(10x+30y)
multiply 1/(2x+6y) by 5/5=5/(10x+30y)
if we add them
9/(10x+30y)
Answer:
7.76 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The +51 is regardless (being the y intercept) so it does not affect our answer. If the employee has to drive one mile (x=1) it will take 7.76 + 51 min to get there. If they have to drive 0 miles (x=0) it will only take 51 min. This is a difference of 7.76. You really just need to take the slope (I just used this example to make it make more sense) as x is the number of miles the employee has to drive, and therefore that times 7.76 would be how much longer it would take to drive to work.
