12(6) + 12x = 144
72 + 12x = 144
12x = 144 - 72
12x = 72
x = 72/12
x = 6...she shoveled 6 more driveways on Sunday
2 x 8 =16
16 granola bars a week
52 x 16 = 832 granola bars in a year
The function is given by
y=45,200 + 1,900x
and is of the form y = mx+b , where m is the rate of change and b is the fixed value ( or we can say initial value)
Now when we compare we get m = 1,900 for our problem .
So the population increases every year by 1,900.
<span>F for Frank, A or Alice.
F(initial)=1.95 inches
A(initial)=1.50 inches
Frank's equation at .25 inches per year and t representing year variable.
F=1.95+.25t
Alice's equation at .40 inches per year and t representing year variable.
A=1.5+.40t
To figure out how old they will be when their beaks are the same lengths set the equations equal to eachother as the equations are length.
1.95+.25t=1.5+.40t
.45=.15t
t=3 years</span>

Push Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes 5 hours to complete the job
1 hour = 1/5 of the job
------------------------------------------------------------------
Riding Lawn Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes 3 hours to complete the job
1 hour = 1/3 of the job
------------------------------------------------------------------
Push Mower + Riding Lawn Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
1 hour = 1/5 + 1/3
1 hour = 3/15 + 5/15
1 hour = 8/15 of the job.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculate time needed to complete
------------------------------------------------------------------
8/15 of the job takes 1 hour
8/15 of the job = 1 hour
------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 8/15 on both side
------------------------------------------------------------------
8/15 ÷ 8/15 of the job = 1 ÷ 8/15 hour
Whole of the job = 1 x 15/8 hours
Whole of the job = 15/8 hours
Whole of the job = 1 7/8 hours
------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 1 7/8 hours
------------------------------------------------------------------
