<h3>17 heavy equipment operators and 14 general labourers were employed</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let x = number of heavy equipment operators employed

Then,

31 - x = number of laborers employed

From given,

Pay of heavy equipment operators = $ 138 per day

Pay of general labours = $ 93 per day

Payroll was $3648

Therefore,

number of heavy equipment operators x Pay of heavy equipment operators + number of laborers employed x Pay of general labours = 3648

138x + 93(31 - x) = 3648

138x + 2883 - 93x = 3648

45x = 3648 - 2883

45x = 765

x = 17

Thus,

31 - x = 31 - 17 = 14

Therefore, 17 heavy equipment operators and 14 general labourers were employed

The function f(x) is represented by the table below. What are the corresponding values of g(x) for the transformation g(x) = 6f(
g100num [7]

Answer:

Given: The transformation g(x) =6f(x)                  ......[1]

To find the corresponding values of g(x) for the given transformation.

At x = -7, f(x) = 8

then,

By substituting the value of f(x) = 8 in [1] we have

g(x) = 6 \cdot 8 =48

Similarly,

For x= -3 , f(x) = 3, then

By substituting the value of f(x) = 3 in [1] we have

g(x) = 6 \cdot 3 =18

For x= 0, f(x) = -1 , then

By substituting the value of f(x) = -1 in [1] we have

g(x) = 6 \cdot -1 =-6

For x= 2, f(x) = 7, then

By substituting the value of f(x) = 7 in [1] we have

g(x) = 6 \cdot 7=42

For x= 10, f(x) = 5, then

By substituting the value of f(x) = 5 in [1] we have

g(x) = 6 \cdot 5=30

Therefore ; we have the corresponding values of g(x) as shown below;

x                f(x)           g(x)

-7                8                48

-3                3                 18

0                -1               -6

2                 7                42

10                5                30
