Niall owes $187 to his cousin. However, he doesn't have any money right now. He hopes to earn some money by painting a house. He

gets paid $34 for every 2 hours he paints. Which equation of a line models y, the amount of money he will have after paying back his cousin, in terms of x, the number of hours he spends painting?

The equation would be 34 x 2x-187= y.

Answer:

$y=17x-187$ where x>11

Step-by-step explanation:

Niall gets $34 for 2 hours.

So, he gets $34/2=17$ dollars per hour.

Now he owes $187 to his cousin.

Let the number of hours he works be = x

Let the money left with him after paying his cousin be = y

So, the equation forms:

$y=17x-187$

Rather we can say it is :

$y=17x-187$ where x>11

If we want to know how many hours are needed to pay the debt, we can consider y = 0

$17x-187=0$

$17x=187$

$x=187/17$

So, x = 11 hours

He needs 11 hours of work to pay back his cousin and after that all his earnings is 'y'. When x>11 then 'y' will have some money left.

You have a function that takes in an X value and produces a Y value. The Y value equals 24 times the X value, plus 4?More. What'

guapka [62]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

The function takes in an X value and produces a Y value.

The Y value equals 24 times the X value plus 4 more.

This means that:

Y = 24X + 4

When the X value equals 4, the Y value will be:

Y = 24(4) + 4

Y = 96 + 4

Y = 100

When the X value is 4, the Y value is 100.

Initially 5 grams of salt are dissolved into 10 liters of water. Brine with concentration of salt 5 grams per liter is added at

DiKsa [7]

Salt flows in at a rate of (5 g/L)*(3 L/min) = 15 g/min.

Salt flows out at a rate of (x/10 g/L)*(3 L/min) = 3x/10 g/min.

So the net flow rate of salt, given by $x(t)$ in grams, is governed by the differential equation,

$x'(t)=15-\dfrac{3x(t)}{10}$

which is linear. Move the $x$ term to the right side, then multiply both sides by $e^{3t/10}$ :

$e^{3t/10}x'+\dfrac{3e^{t/10}}{10}x=15e^{3t/10}$

$\implies\left(e^{3t/10}x\right)'=15e^{3t/10}$

Integrate both sides, then solve for $x$ :

$e^{3t/10}x=50e^{3t/10}+C$

$\implies x(t)=50+Ce^{-3t/10}$

Since the tank starts with 5 g of salt at time $t=0$ , we have

$5=50+C\implies C=-45$

$\implies\boxed{x(t)=50-45e^{-3t/10}}$

The time it takes for the tank to hold 20 g of salt is $t$ such that

$20=50-45e^{-3t/10}\implies t=\dfrac{20}3\ln\dfrac32\approx2.7031\,\mathrm{min}$

Write a real world problem that can be represented by the equation 3/4c=21

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: Real world problem is "A student have c toffee he distribute $\frac{3}{4}$ th part of those toffees to his friends. He gave total 21 toffees to his friend".

Explanation:

Let a student have c number of toffees in his bag.

It is given that he distribute $\frac{3}{4}$ th part of those toffees to his friends.

The $\frac{3}{4}$ th part of c toffees is,

$\frac{3c}{4}$

The total number of distributed toffees is 21.

$\frac{3c}{4}=21$

It is the same as given equation.

If we change the equation in words it means the $\frac{3}{4}$ th part of a number c is 21.
