Claire earns $8.50 per hour babysitting plus a $15 travel fee. Brooklyn earns $9.50 per hour walking dogs plus a $5 supply fee. How many hours do they have to work to earn the same amount of money?

I believe Claire makes $24.50 and Brooklyn makes $14.50, so if you wanted to make Brooklyn walk an extra hour, she would have 24.00 adding the supply fee which is $5 which would make it $29.00.

Now i am going to try to actually solve it

8.50x15=127.5

9.50x5=47.5

9.50x13=123.5

this is so wrong i am so sorry, i just hope this helps you understand your question a bit more!

Step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
