Answer:bals
Step-by-step explanation:25(number of hours worked) +80$ for initial charge
We can start this problem by finding out what the lowest consecutive number's value is (x). Since consecutive numbers are numbers that are 1 apart from each other, the sum of 9 consecutive numbers would look like
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8)
Since we know that they equal 153,
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8) = 153
Now we combine like terms
9x + 36 = 153
Simplify
9x = 117
x = 13
Now, we need to find what the 5th consecutive number is equal to. The fifth consecutive number is (x+4), so 13 + 4 is 17, meaning that the 5th of 9 consecutive numbers that add up to 153 is 17.
Answer:
y ≥ 3x - 1
y < 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the solid line passing through (x', y') given in graph is,
y = mx + b
Here m = slope of the line
b = y-intercept
Slope of the solid line =
m = 
m = 3
y - intercept 'b' = -1
Therefore, equation of the line will be,
y = 3x - 1
Since, shaded (blue) area is above the line, inequality that will represent the solution area will be,
y ≥ 3x - 1
For the dotted line,
Slope of the line (m) = 
= 
= 
y-intercept (b) = 2
Equation of the dotted line → y =
Since, shaded (grey color) area is below the dotted line,
Inequality representing the solution area will be,
y <
As you plug in those numbers for x (from left to right) y=

Answer:
In the Garden Club the cost will be a fixed fee of $25 and $10 for each rosebush, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:
C1(X) = $25 + $10*X
While in the local nursery there is no initial cost, and each rosebush costs $15, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:
C2(X) = $15*X
Now, let's find the value of X where C1 and C2 are equal, this is:
$25 + $10*X = $15*X
$25 = $15*X - $10*X = $5*X
X = 25/5 = 5
This means that if he buys 5 rosebushes, he will pay the same amount in both places.
If he buys less than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the local nursery (as it has a bigger slope, but no initial fee)
If he buys more than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the Garden club (because it has a smaller slope)
