Answer:

<h2><u>B.</u> <u>It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right on EDG.

<em />

Simplifying

7h + -5(3h + -8) = -72

Reorder the terms:

7h + -5(-8 + 3h) = -72

7h + (-8 * -5 + 3h * -5) = -72

7h + (40 + -15h) = -72

Reorder the terms:

40 + 7h + -15h = -72

Combine like terms: 7h + -15h = -8h

40 + -8h = -72

Solving

40 + -8h = -72

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-40' to each side of the equation.

40 + -40 + -8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0

0 + -8h = -72 + -40

-8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: -72 + -40 = -112

-8h = -112

Divide each side by '-8'.

h = 14

Simplifying

h = 14

Which relation describes a function?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

{(-2, -3), (-3, -2), (2,3), (3, 2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a set of ordered pairs in which <u>no two pairs have the same first number</u>.

In other words, an <em>x</em> cannot be paired with two <em>y</em>'s.

A function takes an <em>x</em> and pairs it with one and only one <em>y</em>.

{(0,0), (0, 2), (2.0), (2, 2)} is not a function because it pairs 0 with both 0 and 2.

{(2,-1), (2, 1), (3,-1), (3, 1)} is not a function because it pairs 2 with both -1 and 1.

{(2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 2), (3, 3)} is not a function because it pairs 2 with both 2 and 3.

Darnel's retirement party cost $33, plus an additional $1 for each guest he invites. What is the maximum number of guests there
Karolina [17]

Answer: the maximum number of guests that he can invite would be 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Darnel's retirement party cost $33, plus an additional $1 for each guest he invites. Assuming Darnel wants to invite x guests to his retirement party, the total amount of money that Darnel would spend is

33 + x

if darnel can afford to spend a total of $42 on his retirement party, then

42 = 33 + x

x = 42 - 33 = 9
