Answer:

y = -4x + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the function we'll use y = mx + b, where y is the distance the boat is away from shore, m is how many km/minute the boat moves at, x is how many minutes it's been, and b is how many km away from shore the boat was at the start. We already know the value of b is 50, so we can put that into the equation:

y = mx + 50

To find how many km the boat moves per minute, let's use the given amount of minutes and km (9, 14) and put them into the equation:

14 = m(9) + 50

Now let's solve for m:

14 = 9m + 50

Subtract 50 from both sides to isolate the 9m:

14 - 50 = 9m + 50 - 50

- 36 = 9m

divide both sides by 9 to isolate the m:

-36/9 = 9m/9

-4 = m

The boat moves at -4 km/minute, which is the same thing as saying that  after 1 minute passes, the boat gets 4km closer to the shore. Now we can input this value into the equation and we have our answer:

y = -4x + 50

ax+by=c and
dx+ey=f

would go in like this
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b&|c\\d&e&|f\end{array}\right]

so
3x+1=1 and
0x-1y=5

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&1&|1\\0&-1&|5\end{array}\right]

raketka [301]

Answer:

Yes, the bill is absolutely accurate

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of materials= $ 678.12

Final  bill amount(given)=$1206.12

Rate= $32 per hour for 16.5 hrs

Total amount for 32 hrs = time * rate = 16.5* 32=$528

Therefore, by the problem ,

<em>Cost of materials+ Total amount  for 32 hrs = Final bill amount</em>

= 678.12+ 528

=1206.12

<u>Therefore , the final bill amount is 100% accurate as it completely matches with the given bill amount</u>
