-8(1 + 5b) – 2(86 – 1) = 50

b = -57/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first distribute everything out:

-8(1 + 5b) = -8 * 1 + (-8) * 5b = -8 - 40b

2(86 - 1) = 2 * 85 = 170

So, we have:

-8 - 40b - 170 = 50

-40b - 178 = 50

-40b = 50 + 178 = 228

b = -228/40 = -57/10

Thus, the answer is b = -57/10.

table 3 represents a direct variation function. : )

she will sew have sewn five dresses   and be 1/3 done with the sixth one in an hour.

step-by-step explanation:

3/4 of an hour=45 mins

lucy makes 1 dress per 11.25 minutes

45 mins+11.25 mins=56.25 mins

60 mins- 56.25 mins=3.75 mins

3.75 mins is 1/3 of of 11.25 mins

therefore she the other 1/3 would be part of the hour and she will have sewn 5 dresses and begun the sixth.
