Answer:

11 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Karen makes x hours babysitting and y hours giving music lessons.

Because she worked a total of 18 hours, we know that x + y = 18.

5 * x is how much money she earns babysitting for x hours, while 12 * y is how much money she earns giving music lessons for y hours. Adding them up gives her total revenue:

5x + 12y = 139

We now have a system of equations. Let's multiply both sides of x + y = 18 by 12:

12 * (x + y) = 18 * 12

12x + 12y = 216

Now, subtract 5x + 12y = 139 from 12x + 12y = 216:

     12x + 12y = 216

-     5x + 12y = 139

_________________

       7x + 0y = 77

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 11

Thus, Karen spent 11 hours babysitting.

0.12x - 1.5= 0.24x - 0.06
Sophie [7]

To solve this equation, lets move all of the variables to one side of the equation and the constants to the other.

0.12x - 1.5 = 0.24x - 0.06

Subtract 0.12x from both sides of the equation

-1.5 = 0.12x - 0.06

Add 0.06 to both sides of the equation

-1.44 = 0.12x

Divide both sides by 0.12 to isolate x

x = -12

Use the slope formula to find the missing coordinate: R(0,_), S(-4,2) m=5
Delicious77 [7]

Answer

The missing value is 22

step-by-step explanation

The slope formula is

m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

From the question,

m=5

x_2=-4

y_2=2

and

x_1=0

We substitute these values to get,

5=  \frac{2 - y_1}{ - 4- 0}

Simplify

5=  \frac{2 - y_1}{ - 4}

5 \times  - 4=2 - y_1

- 20=2 - y_1

- 20 - 2=- y_1

22= y_1

y_1 = 22

The missing value is 22
