Nick works part-time at a bookstore. His pay varies directly with the number of hours worked. In one week, he earned $120 for 8 hours of work. a) Define two variables for this relation.

b) Describe the rate of change in words.

c) Determine an equation to represent the relation:

d) Use the equation to determine how many hours Nick must work to earn $345

23 hoiurs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

a. The two variables are

1. Number of hours worked

2. The amount earned

b. The rate is given as

=120/8

=$15 per hour

c. The equation is given as

rate=Amount earned/ number of hours worked

15= 345/hours

make hours subject of the formula we have

hours= 345/15

hours= 23 hours

Hence he must work for 23 hours

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
