Question

10. The number of people, N, employed in a chain of cafes is related to the number of cafes, n, by the equation:

Answer 1

Answer:

b.

i. N= 10n+120

    = 10*14+120

    = 260

ii. N = 10n+120

<=> 190=10n+120

<=> n=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The given equation N= 10n + 120 is an illustration of a linear equation. The following are the results:

• There are 260 employees when the number of cafes is 14
• There are 7 cafes when the number of employees is 190
• The slope of the graph is 10 and the intercept is 120

Given

$N = 10n + 120$

A. The graph

See attachment for the graph of $N = 10n + 120$ where:

$n \to$ x-axis

$N \to$ y-axis

B. i) Employees, when there are 14 cafés.

This means that n= 14

So, we have:

$N = 10n + 120$

$N = 10 \times 14 + 120$

$N = 140 + 120$

$N = 260$

Hence, there are 260 employees

B ii) Cafés, when there are 190 employees

This means that N = 190

So, we have:

$N = 10n + 120$

$190 =10n + 120$

Collect like terms

$10n = 190 - 120$

$10n = 70$

Divide by 10

$n = 7$

Hence, there are 7 cafés

C. The slope and the intercept.

A linear equation is represented as:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

$m \to$ slope

$b \to$ y-intercept

Given that:

$N = 10n + 120$

By comparing both equations

$m = 10$

$b = 120$

The slope implies that, the rate of employee per unit café is 10

The intercept of the graph implies that the initial number of employee is 120
