Step-by-step explanation:
$20/hr carpenter pay
$25/hr blacksmith pay
Let c = hours working carpentry
Let b = hours working as blacksmith
c + b = 30 {equation 1}
20c + 25b = 690 {equation 2}
In equation 1 solve for one variable in terms of the other.
c = 30-b
Substitute that into equation 2:
20(30-b) + 25b = 690
600 - 20b + 25b = 690
5b = 90
b = 90/5
b = 18 hours working as a blacksmith
c = 30-b = 30-18 = 12 hours as a carpenter
Y = <span>b^x
when x = 1
y = b^1
y = b
Therefore, the value of b is the same as the value of y when x =1
From the graph,
When x = 1, y = 0.5
Therefore, b = 0.5
To confirm this
From the graph,
When x = -1, y = 2
Since </span>y = b^x<span>
2 = </span>b^-1
2 = 1/b
2b = 1
b = 0.5
When x = -2, y = 4
Since y = b^x
4 = b^-2
4 = 1/(b^2)
b^2 = 1/4
b = √(1/4)
b = 1/2
b = 0.5
Therefore, it is conformed that b = 0.5
155 - 2⁷ = 27 =3³
155 - 2⁷ = 3³
2⁷ + 3³ =155
The answer is 8000 meters I think
