As the question states, let r be the number of hours worked at the restaurant, and y be the number of hours of yard work. 
We know that she can only work a maximum of 15 hours per work total, and that at she must work at least 5 hours in the restaurant. 
Therefore:
r + y ≤ 15
r ≥ 5
We also know that she wants to earn at least 120 dollars, earning $8/hr in the restaurant and $12/hr in the yard:
8r + 12y ≥ 120

What is the maximum of hours Lia can work in the restaurant and still make at leas 120 hours? 
Lia's parents won't let her work more than 15 hours, so we know that the answer won't be higher than 15.
If she worked all 15 hours in the restaurant, she would make 8*15 = 120.
The maximum number of hours she can work in the restaurant is therefore 15 hours

What is the maximum amount of money Lia can earn in a week? 
Lia has to work a minimum of 5 hours in the restaurant. She makes more money doing yard work, so she should devote the rest of her available work hours to yard work.
That means that, given her 15 hour work limit, she will maximize her income by working 5 hours in the restaurant and 10 hours in the yard. 
5*8 + 10*12 = 40 + 120 = 160
The most she can make is 160 dollars, working 5 hours in the restaurant and 10 hours in the yard

Members of the cooking club would like to learn how to make peach ice cream. There are 14 people in the club. Each member will n
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total members = 14

Each member:

Peaches = 3

Pint of cream = 1

Cost

Peaches = x cent

Pint of cream = 46 cent

46 cent = $0.46

Cost per member = 3(x cent) + 0.46

= 3x cent + 0.46

Total cost for all members = 14(3x cent + 0.46)

= 42x cent + 6.44

Jan buys 3 bags of beads. Each bag contains 7 beads. Draw a bar diagram and write an addition equation and a multiplication equa
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

  - The diagram bar is attached.

  - Addition equation:  7+7+7=21

  - Multiplication equation: (3)(7)=21

  -  How are the equation related? Each equation shows 3 groups of 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Jan buys 3 bags of beads and each bag contains 7 beads, then, you can draw the bar diagram shown attached.

 Observe that the diagram has 3 blocks (each block represents a bag of bead) and there is a number 7 inside of each block (which is the number of beads contained in a bag).

Therefore:

- Add the numbers inside the blocks in order to get the addition equation that shows the number of  beads Jan buys. This is:

7+7+7=21

- Multiply 3 blocks by 7 in order to get multiplication equation that show the number of beads Jan buys:

(3)(7)=21

The equations are related. Each one shows 3 groups of 7.

What is (-4,5) and (8,-1)
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

the slope-intercept equation of a line that passes through the coordinate (-4,5) and (8,-1) is

y  =  - 0.5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Apply the slope formula; y^2 - y^1 divided by x^2 - x^1

y^2 is -1

y^1 is 5

x^2 is 8

x^1 is -4

-1 - 5 = -6

8 - (-4) = 12

-6/12 is -1/2 or -0.5

2) To find the y-intercept, hoose either of the coordinates and replace y, m, and x in the y= mx+b formula.

5= -0.5(-4) + b

5= 2 + b

3= b
