12 * 20% = 12 * 0.20 = 2.4 hours
It will not last his entire shift.
Steps:
let “x” be number of hrs
let “y” be total cost
Abe:
50x + 75 = y
Plumbing Service:
65x=y
Since both equations are equal to y, you can set them equal to each other.
65x = 50x + 75
isolate for x:
65x - 50x = 75
15x = 75
x = 5
therefore it will take 5 hours for each to cost the same. you should call Abe for any task more than 5 hours because it will be cheaper and you should call the Plumbing Service for any task less than 5 hours because it will be cheaper.
The y - intercept of an equation is the value of y when x is substituted with zero. From the given equation,
y = 25x + 225
Substituting,
y = (25)(0) + 225
y = 225
Thus, the y - intercept of the given equation is 225.
Answer:
1.60x=32.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you do not how much gallons of gas he bought you would use the variable x.

She would’ve earned $37 more
Calculations:
Sophie:
$330(1+4%*2)
=$356
Simple interest: $356-$330
=$26
Avi:
$290(1+5%*2)
=$319
Simply interest: $319-$290
=$29
$29-$26
=$3
