Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

A student is working two jobs over the summer to pay for a new car. The student gets paid $25 for each lawn that
is mowed (C)and $15 for each pool that is cleaned (y). The student wants to earn $750 to pay for a down payment
on a car.
• Create a model in standard form to represent this linear relationship.
• Identify the x-intercept. Explain what this means in the context of the problem.
• Identify the y-intercept. Explain what this means in the context of the problem.
Identify two combinations that are solutions to this equation. Explain what these combinations mean in the
context of the problem.

Answer 1

Explanation:

- 25x + 15y = 750

- (30, 0) are coordinates of x-intercept. If there is no pool-cleaning job student has to do 30 lawn-mowing.

- (0, 50) are coordinates of y-intercept. If there is no lawn-mowing job student has to do 50 pool-cleanings.

- ( 15 , 25 ) mean 15 lawn-mowing and 25 pool-cleanings

$25(15) + $15(25) = $750

$375 + $375 = $750
