Which of the following situations cannot be modeled by the inequality 10 + 15x > 22x? F
Fun Bobby, a face-painter, charges $10 for showing up to a párty and $15 for each
hour he works. Silly Billy, a comedian, charges $22 an hour. For how many
hours, x, will Fun Bobby cost less than Silly Billy?
Mateo bought a couch. He paid a $10 down payment and will make $15 payments
each month until it is paid off. Shannon bought the same couch but made no down
payment and will make $22 monthly payments. How many months, x, will Mateo
pay more than Shannon?
Lisa started with $10 in her account. She saves $15 per week. Ben has no money
in his account, but deposits $22 per week. How many weeks, x, will Ben have less
money in his account than Lisa?
H
Carpenter A charges $10 plus $15 per hour. Carpenter B charges $22 per hour.
For how many hours, x, will Carpenter A cost more than Carpenter B?

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.

step-by-step explanation:

let pq = qr = rs = x, and xz = y and zu = z.

if the horizontal lines are parallel, then corresponding segments are in proportion:

substitute:

therefore 3 = y = z.

xu = y + z → xu = 3 + 3 = 6

c(x)= 6x + 3
