Carlie runs two different business. She needs to pay $100 for materials, and pay her associates $12 per hour for her childcare business. And for her lawn care business, she has to pay $275 for materials, and pays her associates $10 per hour. Write two functions, C(x) and L(x) to represent the amount of money she will need to run her childcare business and her lawn care business.

C(x)=
L(x)=

PL HEP

C(x) = 100 + 12x

L(x) = 275 + 10x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = no. of hours

C(x) = 100 + 12x

L(x) = 275 + 10x

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

it is 10.6 according to my calculations
