Question

Would appreciate if someone could actually give me a real answer and not say something just for the points. I really need this :/

1. Suppose you earn $5.50 an hour working at the plant nursery on weekends. Given your table of values in part a, write an equation to represent how many
hours you would have to work to pay for the first year of video streaming service.

2. Solve the equation you wrote in part b to find how many hours you would have to work to pay for the first year of video streaming service. Show your work and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The number of hours to reach the total for the first year is 48.4 hours

How to determine the equation?

The missing information in the question are:

Total for the first year = $266

Table of values

x      y

10    55

20   110

30   165

40   220

Let x represent the number of hours and y represent the total earning in x hours.

The hourly rate is given as:

Rate = $5.5

This means that:

y = 5.5x

The number of hours to reach the total for the first year

In (a), we have

y = 5.5x

Substitute 266 for y

5.5x = 266

Divide both sides by 5.5

x = 48.4

Hence, the number of hours to reach the total for the first year is 48.4 hours
