She will work both jobs. She is able to work no more than 16 hours a week, due to school commitments. Edith wants to earn at least $80 a week, working a combination of both jobs.
write an inequality to represent this,and please solve for y

Answer 1

Answer: so pay=hours times pay per hour

so the babysitting job pays 4 dollers pay per hour
she works x hours
therefor the babysitting pay is 4 times x or 4x

the library job pays 7 dollars an hour
she works y hurs
therefor the library pay is 7 times y or 7y

so total pay is babysitting pay plus library pay or
4x+7y=total pay
x+y=total hours

she wants to work no more than 16 hour s aweek, means that she can work max 16 hours or
total hours<16
subsitute
x+y<16

and she wants to earn at least 80 dolars
so more than or equal to 80 dolllars
total pay >80
subsitue
4x+7y>80

so the inequalities we have are
x+y<16 and
4x+7y>80

solve for y since we want to do that
multiply the first equatl by -4
remember tha tmultipy by negative means flip sign from < to > so
-4x-4y>-64
now add to the second equation

-4x-4y>-64
4x+7y>80 +
0x+3y>16
3y>16
divide by 3
y>16/3
16/3=5 and 1/3

so she has to work more than 5 and 1/3 hours per week

basically, she will earn at least 80 dollars a week if she works at least 5 and 1/3 hours at the library and works for 16 hours total (library+babysitting)

what you should do is find the graph of the lines
x+y<16 and 4x+7y>80 and find where they intersect

the inequaltiy is 4x+7y>80 and x+y<16

Answer 2

Answer: 4x plus 7y, this shows how much she works....

15 is your answer, because 7+7=14 and its greater then 14 but less then 8+9 which = 16.

Find the distance (-4,5) and (7,18)

Answers

Answer:

$√(290)\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

$√((x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2)$

Hence, the distance between points $(-4,5)$ and $(7,18)$ is

$√((-4-7)^2+(5-18)^2)\n \n=√((-11)^2+(-13)^2)\n \n=√(121+169)\n \n=√(290)\ units$

HURRY I'LL PICK A BRAINLIEST PERSON!!!Solve for a.

7a - 2b = 5a + b

A. a = 2b
B. a = 3b
C. a =3/2 b
D. a =2/3 b

Answers

the answer is C. a=3/2b. To solve this problem you will nee to put A on one side and B on the other. To get this simply subtract 2b from the right and 5a from the left. You should get:
2a=3b
from this point just divide by 2 and you get: a=3/2b
Hope this helps!
