Answer:
Even
Step-by-step explanation:
Well if you have an odd number like 3, 5, 7, 9, and etc multiplied by an even number like 2, 4, 6, 8, and etc you will always get an even number
2 x 3 = 6 which is even 3+3
5 x 4 = 20 which is even 10+10
7 x 6 = 42 which is even 21+21

Answer:
- A: j = 25 +55h
- B: m = 50 +30h
- 1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We're going to say Job A is the charge at Jim's shop. For h hours, that charge will be the sum of the parts cost and the hourly charge:
j = 25 +55h
Job B is the charge at Myron's shop. Similarly, that charge is ...
m = 50 +30h
__
The two charges are equal when ...
j = m
25 +55h = 50 +30h
25h = 25 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 25+30h from both sides of the equation
h = 1 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 25
The charges are the same at the two shops for 1 hour worked.

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may be expected to write your equations using y for the charge and x for the hours. I like to use variable names that remind me what they stand for.

In general, when you have rates that have different fixed fees and different per-quantity costs, the "break even" quantity is the ratio of the difference in fees to the difference in per-quantity costs. Here the parts (fees) differ by $25, and the per-hour cost differs by $25, so the number of hours is 25/25 = 1 to make the charges equal.
5x + 4y = 20
4y = 20 - 5x
y = 20/4 - 5/4x
y = 5 - 5/4x
The x intercept is when y = 0
0 = 5 - 5/4x
5/4x = 5
x = 4.5/5
x = 4
The y intercept is when x = 0
y = 5 - 5/4x
y = 5 - 5/4.0
y = 5
