Two lawn care companies are competing for a landscaping contract. Company A charges a $250 monthly consulting fee plus $10 per square foot, whereas Company B charges a $90 landscaping fee plus $12 per square foot. When will the two companies charge the same amount?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Let x be the no.of square feet for landscaping

Company A

Monthly consulting fee = $250

Cost of landscaping of 1 sq.feet = $10

Cost of landscaping of x sq.feet = $10x

So, Total charge by company A = 250+10x  ---1

Company B

Monthly consulting fee = $90

Cost of landscaping of 1 sq.feet = $12

Cost of landscaping of x sq.feet = $12x

So, Total charge by company B = 90+12x   ---2

Now we are supposed to find  how many square feet of landscaping will the two companies charge the same amount

So, Equate 1 and 2

250+10x=90+12x\n160=2x\n80=x

So, the two companies charge the same amount for 80 sq.feet

Total charge by company A for 80 sq.feet = 250+10(80)= $1050

Total charge by company B for 80 sq.feet = 90+12(90)=$1170

a. 4
b. –16
c. –4
d. 16

Answers

(-1)/(8c) =2
This requires that  c ≠ 0 , meaning c≠0
(-1)/(8c) =2
Multiply by x to eliminate var in denominator
( \not c*(-1))/( 8 \not c) =c*2
(-1)/(8) =c*2
Common denominator  is 8 
(\not 8(-1))/(\not 8) =8c*2
-1=8c*2
-1=16c
x=-16
The answer is: b. -16

Determine the constant of proportionality for the graph.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Answers

Answer:

(1)/(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

On your recent question- you stated that when the x value was 10, the y value was 2. The graph started at the origin. To find the constant of proportionality, use the equation (rise)/(run). In this case, the "run" was 10, since it went +10 from 0. The "rise" was 2, since it went +2 from 0.

(2)/(10) = (1)/(5) simplified.
