Answer:

10 chores
Sam

Step-by-step explanation:

A) If the playing times are to be the same, then the two expressions for playing time will be equal to each other.

Ron = Sam

3 +1.25c = 8 +0.75c

0.50c +3 = 8 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.75c from both sides

0.50c = 5 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3 from both sides

c = 5/0.50 = 10 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of c

Each would have to complete 10 chores for their playing times to be the same.

B) When c = 4, we have ...

Ron: 3 +1.25·4 = 3 +5 = 8

Sam: 8 +0.75·4 = 8 +3 = 11

Sam spent the most gaming time if both completed 4 chores.

The health club is raising money through a babysitting fundraiser. On Thursday, they charged $3 per hour plus an initial fee $40

xeze [42]

They need to babysit for 10 hours to have same money each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

On Thursday;

Charges = $3 per hour

Initial fee = $40

let x be the number of hours.

T(x) = 3x+40

On Friday;

Charges = $4 per hour

Initial fee = $30

F(x)= 4x+30

The cost will be same when;

T(x) = F(x)

$3x+40=4x+30\\40-30=4x-3x\\10=x\\x=10$

They need to babysit for 10 hours to have same money each day.

Which situation below would represent a negative rate of change:

uranmaximum [27]

Answer: John's situation

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for each situation.

John’s situation:

The amount of money that John has (y) is equal to his school account (40) minus the product of the number of days (x) and the amount he spends per day( 3)

y =40-3x

As days pass by, John has less money (negative rate of change)

Judy's situation

The amount of money that Judy has in her savings account (y) is equal to the product of the number of days (x) and the amount he saves per day (20/2)

y = x (20/2)

What is the value of x in the equation x - y = 30, when y = 15? O4 O 8 O 80 O 200

olganol [36]

$\frac{1}{5}x - \frac{2}{3} y = 30 \\$

Putting the value of Y = 15

$\frac{1}{5} x - \frac{2}{3} \times 15 = 30 \\ \frac{1}{5} x = 30 + 10 \\ \frac{1}{5} x = 40 \\ x = 5 \times 40 \\ x = 200$

So, X = 200
