Answer:

(a) Equations for both

y = 500 + 12x --- lifeguard

y = 15x --- camp counselor

(b) Total pay for 5 days

Lifeguard pays $800

Camp counselor pays $375

(c) Which pays more

Lifeguard job pays more

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x \to hours

y \to total\ pay

Given

Lifeguard job

Signing\ bonus = \$500

Rate = \$12/hr

Camp counselor job

Signing\ bonus =\$0

Rate = \$15/hr

Solving (a): The equation for both

The total pay for each job is calculated as:

Total Pay = Signing Bonus + Rate * Hours

So, we have:

Lifeguard

y = 500 + 12*x

y = 500 + 12x

Camp counselor

y = 0 + 15 * x

y = 15x

Solving (b): Total pay for 5 days

First, we calculate the total hours worked in 5 days

x = 5hrs/day * 5days

x = 25hrs

So, the pay for each is:

y = 500 + 12x

y =500 + 12*25

y =800 --- Lifeguard

y = 15x

y = 15 * 25

y = 375 --- camp counselor

Solving (c): Which job pays more

By comparing the solution in (b)

800 > 375

<em>Hence, lifeguard job pays more</em>

will the opposite of a number always,sometimes,or never be greater than the number itself??????? can someone do an example and a
weeeeeb [17]

When the number is positive, its opposite is less than the number.

9 ==> -9 . . . . . . less
72 ==> -72 . . . . less
324 ==> -324 . . less


When the number is negative, its opposite is greater than the number.

-8 ==> 8 . . . . . . greater
-3/4 ==> 3/4 . . . greater
-429 ==> 429 . . greater .

We've seen that the opposite can be less, and it can also be greater.
I guess that means that it's sometimes greater.

I=0.13x+1025 A textbook salesperson's monthly income depends on the amount of his sales. His monthly income is a salary of $1025
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

l = 0.13x+1025

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the monthly sales be x

Monthly income = $1025 + 13% of monthly sales

Monthly income = $1025 + 0.13x

Since l  represent the monthly income

l = 1025+0.13x

Rearrange

l = 0.13x + 1025

Hence the linear equation representing the statement is l = 0.13x+1025
