Answer: The correct choice is that he can maximize his earnings by working 12 hours as a tutor and 3 hours as a lawn mower.

James will make the most money by working at the job that pays him the most. However, he has to work at least 3 hours at $10 per hour. 

Therefore, he should work only 3 mowing lawns and the rest tutoring.

2x + 5y = 8<br> x - 2y = -5<br> Simultaneously pleasee
mario62 [17]

Answer:

(- 1, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 8 → (1)

x - 2y = - 5 → (2)

multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate x

- 2x + 4y = 10 → (3)

add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

0 + 9y = 18

9y = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )

y = 2

substitute y = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

substituting into (1)

2x + 5(2) = 8

2x + 10 = 8 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

2x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 1

solution is (- 1, 2 )

Maggie has $14,100 to invest, and wishes to gain $4,000 in interest over the next eight years. Approximately what is the minimum
julsineya [31]
Simple interest doesn't compound, so we just find the interest she needs by dividing 4,000 by 8, and then divide that number by her principal to find the rate of interest. 

4,000 ÷ 8 = 500
She needs 500 dollars per year in interest. 

800 ÷ 14,100 = .0355 = 3.55%

Answer is B

There is infinitely many ratios which are equivalent to 5:9. As we know always we can write divide as fraction, so \frac{5}{9}. We can multiply nominator and denominator by the any number (but the same) and get another numbers but ratio will be the same, so equivalent.
For example
