X>-6 is what i believe the answer is.
hope this helps!
12. Make equation and plug in
13. Proportion
14. Finding a constant rate, and then manipulate
12. Where x is miles driven, and y is answer, and z is days
19.95z+0.15x=y
Plug in two values
19.95 x 2 + 0.15 x 250 = y
39.93+37.5 = y
y=77.43
13. 5:2 as 175:x
5/2 = 175/x
x = 70
70+175=245
14. 260:5 = x:1
260/5=x/1
x = 52
52:1 = y:9
52/1 = y/9
y = 468
I hope you understand the process.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x= money earned per hour working as a cashier.
y=money earned per hour working delivering newspapers.
We propose the following system of equations:
5x + 4y =77
6x + 3y=78
We solve the system by reduction method:
-6*(5x+4y=77) ⇒ -30x-24y=-462
5*(6x+3y=78)⇒ 30x+15y=390
---------------------------
-9y=-72 ⇒ y=-72 /-9=8
Now, we get the value of "x" replacing the value of "y" by "8" in any part of the equation above.
5x + 4(8)=77
5x+32=77
5x=77-32
5x=45
x=45/5=9
therefore;
money earned per hour working as a cashier= $9/ hour
money earned per hour working delivering newspapers=$8/hour
