A landscaping company charges a $12 fee to make a house call plus an hourly rate for labor. if the total bill for a job that takes 2.5 hours comes to $95.75, write an equation that can be used to solve for the hourly labor rate use r to represent the rate.

Both companies need to work 12.50 hours to make the same charge.

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to write equations for each company based on how each company charges.

Let x = hours

Let y = charge

1st Company

y = 15x + 100

2nd Company

y = 17x + 75

Since we want to know the hours needed for the companies to make the same charge, we set the charges equal to zero and solve for x.

15x + 100 = 17x + 75

Subtract 15x on both sides of equation.

100 = 2x + 75

Subtract 75 on both sides of equation.

25 = 2x

Divide both sides of equation by 2.

12.5 = x

Both companies need to work 12.50 hours to make the same charge.

the correct answer is a) they believe they have a "just cause."

islamic terrorists justify their violent actions because they believe they have a "just cause."

every act of terrorism of islamic sects is done “in the name of allah”. that justifies their actions. islam people who commit those terrorist attacks are not afraid to die. that is why the attacks have horrible consequences. they know they are going to die and they are proud to do it because it is in the name of allah, so it is justified and is for a “good cause.”

since the very beginning of the conflict with israel, islam is fighting a “sacred war”, respecting the words stated in the qur’an. they fight against the domination of the western countries and to defend their occupied territories.

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
