Answer:

  • 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a couple of ordered pairs on the graph and get the equation of the line:

  • (0, 2), (1, 10)

The y-intercept is 2 and the slope is 10 - 2 = 8

The line is

  • y = 8x + 2

Solve the system of equations by substitution to find the intersection

  • y = 6x + 10
  • y = 8x + 2
  • 6x + 10 = 8x + 2
  • 8x - 6x = 10 - 2
  • 2x = 8
  • x = 4

They will work 4 hours to get same amount of saving

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create a linear equation for Carlos using the graph.

Two points on the line:  (0, 2) and (1, 10)

[tex]\implies \sf slope\:(m)=\dfrac{change\:in\:y}{change\:in\:x}=\dfrac{10-2}{1-0}=8[/tex]

Use the point-slope equation with the found slope and one of the points:

[tex]\implies y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]\implies y-2=8(x-0)[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=8x+2[/tex]

Now equate the equations for Mary Ann and Carlos, and solve for x:

[tex]\implies 6x+10=8x+2[/tex]

[tex]\implies 8=2x[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=4[/tex]

Therefore, Mary Ann and Carlos have saved the same amount after 4 hours work.
