The correct answer is B=4
Answer:
$144
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 272 by 17 and then multiply that answer by 9
272/17 is 16
so 16 dollars an hour
multiply that by 9
you get 144
The slope intercept form looks like y=mx+b (m-slope, b is the y intercept)
y+3=1/2(x-2)
y=(1/2)x-(2/2)-3
y=(1/2)x-4
8x + 7y = 39
4x - 14y = -68
(multiply each term in second equation by -2)
8x + 7y = 39
-8x + 28y = 136
(add both equations)
35y = 175
(divide both sides by 35)
y = 5
(substitute value of y in one of the equations)
8x + 7(5) = 39
8x + 35 = 39
8x = 4
x = 1/2
(x, y) = (1/2, 5)
