Shane plans on finding a summer job so he can earn enough money to buy a new laptop that costs $595. He has already saved $150. If Shane finds a summer job that pays him $7.50 an hour after taxes are withheld, what is the minimum number of hours he will have to work in order to
purchase the laptop?
80
79
60
59

59

Step-by-step explanation:   x=number of hours

150+7.50x=595

7.50x=595-150

7.50x/7.50=445/7.50

x=59

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
