Answer:
The system has one solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two equations:
y = -2x - 4
y = 3x + 3
Equalling them:
y = y
-2x - 4 = 3x + 3
5x = -7
And
Replacing in the other equation we should get the same result.
So the system has one solution.
Payment on Plan A = $300
x is the number of hours Jake works.
Payment on Plan B = Fixed charges + (charge per hour) × (number of hours worked)
= $150 + $6.25(x)
= 150 + 6.25x
Since, the payment on Plan B should be more than Plan A,
150 + 6.25x > 300
6.25x > 300 - 150
6.25x > 150
x > 24
The minimum vale for x which satisfies this inequality is 25.
Hence, x = 25.
