2/3 = 8/12. So the answer is 4/12
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number hours dog walking
y = number hours tutoring
x + y <= 11
6x + 10y >= 80
the solution is the common area below the first line and above the second line.
the first line is above the second line (due to the y-intercept of 11 vs. 8) until the crossing point.
for the crossing point we use the regular equations :
from the first we get
x = 11 - y
using this in the second
6×(11 - y) + 10y = 80
66 - 6y + 10y = 80
4y = 14
y = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3.5
x = 11 - y = 11 - 3.5 = 7.5
so, she has to do at least 3.5 hours tutoring (and then 7.5 hours dog walking) for the minimum of $80 earning, all the way up to the maximum of 11 hours tutoring (and 0 dog walking) for $110 earning.
Answer:
x = 4 is the solution
Step-by-step explanation:
given = x ( square both sides )
x + 12 = x² ( rearrange into standard form )
x² - x - 12 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 4 )(x + 3 ) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
Insert these values into the original equation, and if both sides are equal, and those are the solutions.
x = 4 : = = 4 = x ← correct
x = - 3 : = = 3 ≠ - 3 ← false
the answer is x = 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line joining the 2 points is a measure of the average rate of change.
Calculate slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 2)
m = 
= 
= ← average rate of change
