His total earnings would be (18%)[$6.25(hours in 1st job) + $7.50(hours in 2nd job)]. However, we know that his total hours is 40 hours, so if we let the number of hours he spends in his 1st job be x, the number of hours in the 2nd is (40 - x).
Then his total earnings would be

. This means that we need to know the time he spends in 1 job (either the first or the second will do).
14*2 would be calculated first
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
inverse operations: 10 - 28 = 18 18 / 2 = 9
Answer:

with the video game cost of x = $6
This agrees with the last option in the list of possible answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the maximum of a parabola resides at its vertex. So let's find the x and y position of that vertex, by using first the fact that the x value of the vertex of a parabola of general form:

is given by:

In our case, the quadratic expression that generates the parabola is:

then the x-position of its vertex is:

This is the price of the video game that produces the maximum profit (x = $6). Now let's find the y-position of the vertex using the actual equation for this value of x:

This value is the highest weekly profit (y = $246).
Now, recall that we can write the equation of the parabola in what is called "vertex form" using the actual values of the vertex position
:

Therefore the answer is:

with the video game cost of x = $6
