Answer:
the polynomial has degree 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the degree of a polynomial is given by the degree of its leading term (the term with largest degree). Recall as well that the degree of a term is the maximum number of variables that appear in it.
So, let's examine each of the terms in the given polynomial, and count the number of variables they contain to find their individual degrees. then pick the one with maximum degree, and that its degree would give the actual degree of the entire polynomial.
1) term
contains four variables "x" and two variables "y", so a total of six. Then its degree is: 6
2) term
contains two variables "x" and five variables "y", so a total of seven. Then its degree is: 7
3) term
contains four variables "x" and four variables "y", so a total of eight. Then its degree is: 8
This last term is therefore the leading term of the polynomial (the term with largest degree) and the one that gives the degree to the entire polynomial.
Hello there! Provided the information, we know that the nearest multiple of 8 and 9 has to be greater than 50. 8 and 9 do not go into 50.
$9 • 6 hours = $54
$8 • 7 hours = $56
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so we can multiply accordingly:
60 minutes • 6 hours = 360 minutes
60 minutes • 7 hours = 420 minutes
Your final answers are:
It will take John 360 minutes to earn $50.
It will take Amber 420 minutes to earn $50.
(P.S. It takes Amber one more hour to earn $50 than it does for John to earn $50.)
Hope this helps!
If you move the negative on the left side of the second equation over to the right side, then we can see that the equation is equivalent to

.
Remember that an equation

represents a line with slope

and y-intercept

. Since both equations given have a slope of -2, but have different y-intercepts, they are
parallel.
