Mary’s yard is a mess. She needs to hire someone to prune her trees and shrubs. A landscaping service she calls quotes her a pri

ce of $15 consultation fee plus $8 an hour for the actual work. Mary’s neighbor has offered to help her out. She doesn’t charge a consultation fee, but does charge $10 an hour for her work. Who do you think Mary should hire for a 3-hour job? When, if at all, would it be more economical to hire the other service. (Set up and solve a system of equations to answer this question.) a. Mary should hire her neighbor; if there was more than 7.5 hours of work she should hire the landscaping service. b. Mary should hire her neighbor; if there was more than 4.2 hours of work she should hire the landscaping service. c. Mary should hire the landscaping service; if there was more than 7.5 hours of work she should hire her neighbor. d. Mary should hire the landscaping service; if there was more than 4.2 hours of work she should hire her neighbor.

Answer:

Please mark me brainliest and I hoped this helped!

She should ask her neighbor to help her.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use equations to help us figure out this answer.

8x + 15 = y

10x = y

If she has a 3 hour job, we can use 3 instead of x.

8(3) + 15 = y

24 + 15 = y

30 = y for the landscaping service

10(3) = y

30 = y for a neighbors help

It will cost her 9 dollars less, so she should go with the neighbor.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

SR = 450 
<span>S = 450/R </span>

<span>(S - 3)(R + 5) = 450 </span>
<span>(450/R - 3)(R + 5) = 450 </span>
<span>(450 - 3R)(R + 5) = 450R </span>
<span>450R + 2250 - 3R^2 - 15R = 450R </span>
<span>3R^2 + 15R - 2250 = 0 </span>
<span>R^2 + 5R - 750 = 0 </span>
<span>R^2 + 30R - 25R - 750 = 0 </span>
<span>R(R + 30) - 25(R + 30) = 0 </span>
<span>(R + 30)(R - 25) = 0 </span>
<span>R ∈ {-30,25} 
</span>
<span>Only positive numbers make sense in this context, therefore R = 25.</span>

Select all that apply. To decide if 12.5 centimeters is greater than 140 millimeters, the first step is to set up a proportion.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Hey there!

We can't compare two measurements without converting them to  the same units. Thus, we use proportions to make all the values into the same unit.

12.5 cm(\frac{10 milimeters}{1 centimeter}), which converts to centimetres to millimetres.

12.5 cm=125 mm.

Now, we can compare the values of 125 mm and 140 mm.

Clearly, we see that 140 mm is greater than 125 mm.

Let me know if this helps :)

The general form of the equation of a circle is 7x2 + 7y2 − 28x + 42y − 35 = 0. The equation of this circle in standard form is
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The standard form of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 with (h,k) being the center of the circle and r being the radius. In this case the circle's equation in standard form is (x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 18. Knowing this it's easy to see that the center of the circle (h,k) is (2,-3). Finally the radius is \sqrt{18} or in simplified terms, 3\sqrt{2}
