Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-1)=50, lets multiply

2x-2=50 add 2 in both sides

2x=48

x=24

your options are weird, unless you mean (x-1)^2 ?

Apolline is mowing lawns for a summer job. For every mowing job, she charges an initial fee plus a constant fee for each hour of

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Base Fee = $7

Extra charges = $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the base charge with x and the additiional charges with y.

For the 5 hours job, we have:

$42 = x + 5y$

For the 3 hour job

$28 = x + 3y$

Solving for x and y;

$42 = x + 5y$

$28 = x + 3y$

Subtract the second equation from the first

$42 - 28 = x - x + 5y - 3y$

$14 = 2y$

Solve for y

$y = 14/2$

$y = 7$

Substitute 7 for y n the first equation

$42 = x + 5y$

$42 = x + 5 * 7$

$42 = x + 35$

$x = 42 - 35$

$x = 7$

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from ( − 10 , 2 ) (−10,2) to ( − 10 , − 5 ) (−10,−5) that par

Dimas [21]

Answer: $(-10,-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The points joining line segment are (-10,2) and (-10,-5)

Using section formula, a point joining segment $(x_1,y_1)\ \text{and}\ (x_2,y_2)$ divides it in k:1 has coordinates

$x=\dfrac{kx_2+1\cdot x_1}{k+1}$ , $y=\dfrac{ky_2+y_1}{k+1}$

Ratio is 6:1

Coordinates are

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{6(-10)+(-10)}{6+1}\\\\\Rightarrow x=-10$

$\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{-5(6)+1(2)}{6+1}\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{-28}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow y=-4$

Thus, the coordinates are $(-10,-4)$
