After 3.2 or 3 hours and 12 minutes, the total cost of services is equal.
Explanation:
First, set up equations for total cost for both Happy Paws and Woof Watchers.
x= number of hours
y= total cost
Happy Paws
y
=
1.5
x
+
19
Woof Watchers
y
=
2.75
x
+
15
Because you have to find when total cost is equal, then the y's of both equations are equal to each other. That means you can substitute the Woof Watchers'
2.75
x
+
15
into the
y
of Happy Paws.
2.75
x
+
15
=
1.5
x
+
19
Rearrange the equation so the variable, x, is on one side and the numbers on the other and solve.
1.25
x
=
4

x
=
3.2
You can check the answer by plugging
3.2
into x in the two equations and see if they yield the same total cost
Happy Paws:
1.5
(
3.2
)
+
19
=
23.8

Woof Watchers:
2.75
(
3.2
)
+
15
=
23.8

Answer: y = 1.50x + 19 and y = 2.75x + 14
y = 25
x = 4
Both services will charge an equal cost of $25 for 4 hours.

The quadratic function d= -4x+1,100 models a snowboarder's distance, in feet, from the bottom of a hill x seconds after the snow
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

16 seconds (Approximately)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The function that gives the distance of snowboarder from the bottom of hill with time 'x' is:

d=-4x^2+1100

Final position of the snowboarder is d=100\ ft

Now, plugging in 100 for 'd' and solving for 'x', we get:

100=-4x^2+1100

Adding -1100 both sides, we get:

100-1100=-4x^2+1100-1100\\-1000=-4x^2

Dividing both sides by -4, we get:

\frac{4x^2}{4}=\frac{1000}{4}\\x^2=250

Taking square root and neglecting the negative root as time can't be negative. So,

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{250}\\x=5\sqrt{10}=15.8\ s\approx 16\ s

Therefore, after 16 seconds, the snowboarder will be at a distance of 100 ft from bottom of hill.

Lauren has finished 25% of the 120 push ups she needs to do for softball
Ilya [14]

Answer:

30 pushups

Step-by-step explanation:

25/100 = x/120

so, 120x25 = 100x

3000 = 100x

3000/100= x

x = 30

so, Lauren has completed 30 push-ups.
