a cleaning service charges an hourly rate plus a flat fee of $15 for supplies. philip uses the service for 3.5 hours for his spr

ing cleaning, and his total is $232. how can he correctly determine the hourly rate? divide the total cost,$232, by the number of hours,3.5. then, add the flat fee,$15, to the quotient. divide the total cost, 232 dollars by the number of hours, then, add the flat fee, 15 dollars to the quotient. add the supply fee,$15, to the total cost,$232. then, divide the sum by the number of hours,3.5. add the supply fee, 15 dollars to the total cost, then, divide the sum by the number of hours, subtract the supply fee,$15, from the total cost,$232. then, divide the difference by the number of hours,3.5.subtract the supply fee, 15 dollars from the total cost, then, divide the difference by the number of hours, divide the total cost, $232, by the number of hours, 3.5. then, subtract the flat fee, $15, from the quotient.

Using linear function concepts, it is found that he can correctly determine the hourly rate as follows:

subtract the supply fee, 15 dollars from the total cost, then, divide the difference by the number of hours.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, which can also be interpreted as the initial value of a function that is valid only for x \geq 0, such as is the case in this problem.

The flat fee is of $15, hence b = 15, then:

y = mx + 15

Philip uses the service for 3.5 hours for his spring cleaning, and his total is $232, hence when x = 3.5, y = 232, so we use it to find the hourly rate m.

y = mx + 15

232 = 3.5m + 15

m = \frac{232 - 15}{3.5}

Hence, the correct option is:

subtract the supply fee, 15 dollars from the total cost, then, divide the difference by the number of hours.

Use estimation to help you choose the correct answer.<br><br> 0.945 x 7.6 =
hoa [83]

Remark

The thing you must not do is write 7.182 as your answer. That is the exact answer found using a calculator.


What to do.

What you should do is multiply two rounded numbers together.

7.6 rounded is 8 roughly


0.945 is almost 1.


Your answer is 8*1 = 8 roughly. This skill is very handy when you are writing a test and you want to see if you've done the question correctly. It is easy to misplace a decimal or put in incorrect digits and this is a quick check on things like that.

Can anybody help me with 1 and 2
Anit [1.1K]
1) x \geq 96
2) x\ \textless \ 38

Here, the variable x can assume any value, and usually an inequality presented like this has x as a stand-in for all real numbers. If we really wanted to make that fact clear, we could write the two inequalities like this:

x \geq 96, x\in\mathbb{R}\\ x\ \textless \ 38, x\in\mathbb{R}

Formally, you'd read x\in\mathbb{R} as "x is an element of the set of real numbers," which is a fancy way of saying that x can be any real number.

HELP A line passes through two points with coordinates (6,-8) and (-3,7).
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

<em>3y+5x=6</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of the Line</u>

The equation of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found as follows:

\displaystyle y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

The line passes through the points (6,-8) and (-3,7), thus:

\displaystyle y+8=\frac{7+8}{-3-6}(x-6)

\displaystyle y+8=\frac{15}{-9}(x-6)

Simplifying:

\displaystyle y+8=-\frac{5}{3}(x-6)

Multiplying by 3:

3(y+8)=-5(x-6)

3y+24=-5x+30

Moving all the variables to the left side:

3y + 5x = 30 - 24

3y + 5x = 6
