Answer:

4x+6y=24

See below for graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

A total of 24 people need to be transported.

Let <em>x</em> represent the number of Uber compact cars.

And let <em>y</em> represent the number of SUVs.

So, the number of people that can be picked up by <em>x</em> compact cars is 4<em>x</em>.

And the number of people that can be picked up by <em>y</em> SUVs is 6<em>y</em>.

And the total is 24 people. So, the two terms must total 24. So, we can write:

4x+6y=24

We can convert this to slope-intercept form. First, we can divide everything by  2:

2x+3y=12

Subtracting 2<em>x</em> from both sides yields:

3x=-2x+12

Finally, dividing both sides by 3 yields our linear equation:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{2}{3}x+4

Please refer to the below attachment for the graph.

*Note that we should restrain our graph to only QI. This is because we cannot use <em>negative</em> compact cars of SUVs. Also, only <em>integer</em> points on the line will work, as we cannot have, say, 2.5 compact cars.

**Also, the x- and y-intercepts tell us the maximum of each type needed. Either we need 6 compact cars and 0 SUVs, (6, 0); 4 SUVs and 0 compact cars (0, 4); or a combination of them.

The Social Justice Club is going to rent a mammoth barbeque to cook the hot dogs for the hot dog sale After contacting three ren
zimovet [89]

Answer:

(A)Cost of Rental A, C= 15x

Cost of Rental B, C=5x+50

Cost of Rental C, C=9x+20

(B)

i. Rental C   ii. Rental A     iii. Rental B

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part 1</u>

Let x be the number of hours of the barbeque use by the club.

Rental A: $15/h

Cost of Rental A, C= 15hx

Rental B: $5/h + 50

Cost of Rental B, C=5x+50

Rental C: $9/h + 20

Cost of Rental C, C=9x+20

<u>Part 2</u>

The graph of the three models is attached below

<u>Part 3(11.05-4.30)</u>

If the barbecue's usage hour is from 11.05 to 4.30 when the football match ends.

Number of Hours between 11.05am and 4.30pm=4 hours 25 Minutes = 4.42 Hours

Cost of Rental A, C= 15x=15(4.42)=$66.30

Cost of Rental B, C=5x+50 =5(4.42)+50=$72.10

Cost of Rental C, C=9x+20=9(4.42)+20=$59.78

Rental C should be chosen as it offers the lowest cost.

<u>Part 4 (11.05-12.30)</u>

Number of Hours = 12.30 -11.05 =1 hour 25 Minutes = 1.42 Hours

  • Cost of Rental A, C= 15x=15(1.42)=$21.30 Cost of Rental B, C=5x+50 =5(4.42)+50=$57.10 Cost of Rental C, C=9x+20=9(4.42)+20=$32.78

Rental A should be chosen since it offers the lowest cost.

<u>Part 5</u>

If the barbecue is returned the next day, say after 24 hours

  • Cost of Rental A, C= 15x=15(24)=$360 Cost of Rental B, C=5x+50 =5(24)+50=$170 Cost of Rental C, C=9x+20=9(24)+20=$236

Rental B should be chosen as it offers the lowest cost.
