Total Tile charges $24 per square foot for tiling, and a job fee of $76. Tremendous Tile charges $26 per square foot for tiling, and a job fee of $70. At how many square feet of tiling would both companies cost be the same? Which equation will be used to solve the problem?
(a)26x + 76 = 24x + 70
(b)24x + 26x = 76 + 70
(c)24x + 76 = 70
(d)24x + 76 = 26x + 70

they would have to work 32 hours.

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
