We are given that Jack and Jillian sell apples at a produce stand .
We are given that an expression which shows Jack's earning=2x-8
We have to find that first term what represent in the given expression
Jillian earns for each bag of apples she sells=$2
Let Jillian sold number of bags of apples =x
Then ,Jillian earn total at the end of the week =
Jack has earned $ 8 less than Jillian earn
Therefore, total earning of jack=
In the given expression the first term 2x represent the earning of Jillian.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question that uses the Pythagorean Theorem.
a = 35 feet
b = x which is the height of the tree.
c = 3*x + 1 so we are trying to find x. Substitute into a b and c
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
35^2 + x^2 = (3x + 1)^2
35^2 + x^2 = 9x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract x^2 from both sides.
35^2 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract 35^2 from both sides.
0 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 - 35^2
0 = 8x^2 + 6x - 1224
Does this factor?
(x + 12.75)(x - 12)
x - 12 = 0 is the only value that works.
x = 12
The tree is 12 feet high.
Note: I used the quadratic formula to solve this.
Answer: $450
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Amount borrowed = $450
Amount charged per lawn = $35
Operating cost per lawn = $8
Jimmy's cost (C(x)) :
Amount borrowed + operating cost
If x lawns are mowed :
$450 + $8 per lawn
$450 + $8x
C(x) = 450 + 8x
Intercept (value of y when x = 0
Value of C(x) ; when x = 0
C(x) = 450 + 8(0)
C(x) = 450 + 0
C(x) = 450
60 Mi/h is faster than 80 km/h
