For starters, create an equation to show David's earnings. We can do this using Danielle's as a basis, which is set up as y=(# of hours)x+(bonus). This gives us y=12x+80. Now, as we need both their ys to be equal, we just set both equations equal to each other, making 15x+50=12x+80. Now, we solve for x, starting with 15x+50=12x+80, subtracting 12x from both sides to get 3x+50=80, subtracting 50 from both sides to get 3x=30, and dividing three from both sides to get x=10. To check, we just plug in our answer to both equations and see if the ys match up. With Danielle's equation, we get y=15(10)+50=150+50=200 and with David's equation, we get y=12(10)+80=120+80=200, proving that our answer is correct.
Your answer is B. y=-4x+2
Get the distance between two acres.
2.5 - 2.4 = 0.1
Divide the diffence by 2
0.1 / 2 = 0.05 - Halfway between them.
Therefore, 0.05 must be taken from 2.5 acres. it must be added to 2.4 acres to get the exact area of the park.
2.5 - 0.05 = 2.45
2.4 + 0.04 = 2.45 acres
OR
Simply get the average of the two to get the area since it is exactly halfway between the two acres of land.
2.5 + 2.4 = 2.9 / 2 = 2.45 acres
