Yuson must complete 30 hours of community service. She does 2 hours each day. Which linear equation represents the hours Yuson has left after x days?
A. y = –2x + 30 B. y = 2x + 30 C. y = –2x – 30 D. y = 2x – 30
its B B)
Sorry it took me so long I got busy but you are correct with b fish.
Wait a minute. If she must complete 30 hours of service, and is starting from 0, how is it any of these?
It can't be any negatives cuz uh yea
so id have b and d
But it can't be any positives either since she has no hours in yet. I am confusion.
B. y = 2x + 30 D. y = 2x – 30
it cant be d cuz u arent subtracting or whatever
Yes, I understand, but like... we shouldn't have 30 yet.
No, she needs 30 hours of community service and she does 2 per day
Yes, but she needs to achieve 30. She has none as of now, at least the problems doesn't tell if she does.
did you even read it
Yes, I did
She needs 30 hours of service. How many she currently has would be the y-intercept.
She needs 30 hours, so we're doing a down-graph, meaning that the starting point is 30 (y-int) and it goes down from there, make it -2 So you would have y=-2x+30
what
I see.
It's complicated, but the wording isn't how many she needs, it's how many she's worked so far
So, when she reaches 0, she has no more to work for.
no wait
So if she's worked none, that means she has 30 hours to work, and then if she works every 2 hours, the graph goes down
`"Which linear equation represents the hours Yuson has left after x days?"`
no cuzzo
30 / 2
so wouldn't she have 15 left
ion think so
what
wait so is it A then
Bc if she did one day we plug in 1 where the x is at y=-2x+30 y=-2(1)+30 y= -2+30 y=28
^^^ Because if she works for 15 days, she'll complete her 30 hours worth of work.
