PROBLEM: Juan hires an electrician. Juan pays a one-time fee of $30. Juan also pays $45 for each hour the electrician works. A.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

A: C=45h+30

B: C=$322.50

Step-by-step explanation:

A: We'll start with the equation for the total charge. Juan is saying he will pay a one time fee of $30, meaning there is 30 dollars added to what ever the hourly wage is. This can be represented by the +30. Now if "h" represents the variable for which the hourly wage will be calculated, and he pays $45 dollars per hour this will be represented as 45h. <em>As an example if I pay you 2 dollars per hour using the same variable "h", this would be represented as 2h. So if you worked for two hours you would get 4 dollars, this is proven by the fact the 2(2) (remeber im replacing the "h" with the hours you worked) obviously 2 times 2 is 4 proving my point. </em>This information will give you the equation you see above.

B: Onto solving for how much Juan will pay. Now you say youre supposed to have 9 answer but this can't be true. All you need to do is plug the hours given into "h" and solve the equation. It should look something like:

<u>C=45h+30</u>

<u>C=45(6.5)+30</u>

Im using a decimal because it should be clear 1/2=0.5

<u>C= 292.5+30</u>

45x6.5 always go with PEMDAS, we are multiplying first. Then add 292.5 plus 30

This results in the answer of:

<u>C=$322.50</u>

John has a job selling souvenirs on a football stadium. He earns $10 per game plus $0.25 dollars for each souvenir he sells. How

Ahat [919]

Answer:

He needs to sell 100 souvenirs

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know the number of souveniers John has to sell

Let the number of souveniers he sold at the game be s

At a rate of $0.25 per souvenier, the amount earned on souveniers for s souveniers will be:

$0.25 \times s =0.25s$

Now, if we added this to the amount he earns per game, we will have the total $35 earned for working at one game.

Thus, mathematically:

$0.25s + 10 = 35 \\ 0.25s = 35 - 10 \\ 0.25s = 25 \\ s = \frac{25}{0.25} \\ s = 100$

The length of a rectangle is 59 inches greater than twice the width. If the diagonal is 2 inches more than the length, find the

Paul [167]

So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
$\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\ \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}$

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"
