Valeria does not charge an initial fee for babysitting but charges $10 an hour. Daniel charges $8 per hour plus an initial fee of $10. How many hours does Valeria need to babysit in order to make more money than Daniel?

it depends how many hours both of them make but here is what you can do:

Valeria needs to do 2 hours more than Daniel. This is because Daniel makes $18 and hour and Valeria makes only 10. If you do 10*2 or 10+10 you get 20 which is greater than 18. I hope this helps and good luck!

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!

i think the answer is d im not sure
