Answer:

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. An electrician earns 100 dollars for a project installing light fixtures

2. She must pay for the light fixtures herself and they cost 2 dollars

   and 50 cents each

3. x represent the number of light fixtures and y represent her

  total profit

Her profit is the amount of money she has left over after paying for

the light fixtures

∵ The cost of each light fixtures is 2 dollars and 50 cents

- Let us change the cents to dollar

∵ $1 = 100 cents

∴ 50 cents =  dollar

∴ 2 dollars and 50 cents = $2.5

∵ Her profit = The money she earns - The money she pays

∴ The cost of each light fixtures = $2.5

∵ She installs x light fixtures

∴ She pays 2.5 x dollar

∵ She earns $ 100 for installing x light fixtures

∵ Her profit is $y

∴ y = 100 - 2.5 x

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the points where the blue line crosses the X and Y axis:

(0,5) ans (-1, 0)

The slope is the change in Y over the change in X:

0-5 / -1 - 0 = -5/-1 = 5

If 2x+20 and 3x+20 makes a straight angke find value of x​
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a straight angle = 180°

Sum the angles and equate to 180

2x + 20 + 3x + 20 = 180

5x + 40 = 180 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

5x = 140 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 28
