Answer:
61 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
or 
To find out the constant of proportionality k , divide the variable y (total earned) by the variable x (number of hours)
<em>Kevin's wage</em>
Take any point from the table
I take the point (2,16.50)

The equation of the proportional relationship is equal to

substitute the value of k

For y=$500.00
substitute the value of y in the equation and solve for x

Divide by 8.25 both sides

<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The reason is that

If we multiply
by its conjugate
We obtain;
This is difference of two squares so we obtain;
This further gives us,
Since the
, we substite to get;
The
is now eliminated and we get,
Answer:
18(p-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to factor 
We know that the greatest common factor is 18.
So we can rewrite to obtain:

We factor the GCF to obtain:

Therefore 
Therefore the equivalent expression to 18p-36 is 18(p-2)
Answer:
He should spend 3 minutes or less on each scale
Sven made a mistake in the symbol of inequality, placing lesser or equal instead of greater or equal
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
t ------> is the number of minutes he spends on each scale
Remember that the phrase "at least" is equal to "greater than or equal"
so
The inequality that represent this scenario is

solve for t


Multiply by -1 both sides

Divide by 5 both sides

Sven is incorrect
He should spend 3 minutes or less on each scale
Sven made a mistake in the symbol of inequality, placing lesser or equal instead of greater or equal
