The Deluxe and Styling lawn mowing businesses have each started a fierce ad campaign to gain more lawn mowing business. Deluxe Lawn Mowing We charge $ 14/hour to mow your lawn! NO start-up charge! April special! Lawn Styling and Mowing Only $ 12.75 per hour! Low-low start-up fee! $10 per month April special! Part 1: a. Write the algebraic rules for the monthly price, C, for each lawn mowing business based on the April ads and the number of hours, h, required to mow a lawn. The algebraic rule for Deluxe Lawn Mowing is C = 14h . The algebraic rule for Lawn Styling and Mowing is C = 12.75h+10 . Part 2 out of 3 a. Use the method of substitution to determine the number of hours of mowing where the two businesses charge the same amount for the month of April. What is the amount they charge for this many hours of lawn mowing? The two businesses charge the same amount if it takes hour(s) to mow a lawn. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth of an hour. In this case, it will cost $ to have the lawn mowed by either company.

A lawn mower company produces a push mower and a riding mower. Company analysts predict that, for next spring, the company will need to produce at least 150 push mowers and 100 riding mowers per day, but they can produce at most 250 push mowers and 200 riding mowers per day. To satisfy demand, they will have to ship a total of at least 300 mowers per day. Let $p=$ number of push mowers produced per day $r=$ number of riding mowers produced per day a) Write the linear inequalities that describe the constraints on the number of mowers that can be produced per day. b) Graph the feasible region that describes how production can be distributed between the riding mowers and the push mowers. Let $p$ be the horizontal axis and $r$ be the vertical axis. c) What does the point ( 175,110 ) represent? Will this level of production meet the needs of the company? d) Find three points in the feasible region and discuss their meanings. e) Find one point outside the feasible region and discuss its meaning.

Jimmy decides to mow lawns to earn money. The initial cost of his lawnmower is $350. Gasoline and maintenance costs are $6 per lawn. a) Formulate a function C(x) for the total cost of mowing x lawns. b) Jimmy determines that the total-profit function for the lawnmowing business is given by P(x) = 9x - 350. Find a function for the total revenue from mowing x lawns. How much does Jimmy charge per lawn? c) How many lawns must Jimmy mow before he begins making a profit? a) Formulate a function C(x) for the total cost of mowing x lawns. C(x) = b) Find a function for the total revenue from mowing x lawns. R(x) = How much does Jimmy charge per lawn? $ c) How many lawns must Jimmy mow before he begins making a profit? (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

Use the following information to answer the next three exercises. A landscaping company is hired to mow the grass for several large properties. The total area of the properties combined is 1,345 acres. The rate at which one person can mow is as follows: $\hat{y}=1350-1.2 x$ where $x$ is the number of hours and $\hat{y}$ represents the number of acres left to mow. How many hours will it take to mow all of the lawns? (When is $\hat{y}=0 ?$
