The Department of Streets of a city has a budget of $1,962,800 for resurfacing roads and hiring additional
workers this year.
The cost of resurfacing a mile of 2-lane road is
estimated at $84,000. The average starting salary of a
worker in the department is $36,000 a year.
1. Write an equation that represents the relationship
between the miles of 2-lane roads the department could
resurface, m, and the number of new workers it could
hire, p, if it spends the entire budget.

38.5

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = r

second number = 3r+7

total = 49

(r)+(3r+7)= 49

4r+7 = 49

4r = 42

r = 42/4

r= 10.5

3r+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
