Yeah Whoa Okay S eighty maths members last in the

00:05

Siri's here of five In this section the equation H

00:09

equals two T as in fruity The number of houses

00:12

that Drake paints can be modelled by the equation above

00:14

For H is the number of houses he has painted

00:18

and T is the number of work days he has

00:20

spent painting When H is ten what would the value

00:23

of TB Okay Well we'll get that It's five like

00:29

that's not too hard to figure out but what does

00:31

it mean What's the greater meaning in all of this

00:34

Drakes been working hard turning out freshly painted houses at

00:37

a constant rate We have been given an equation that

00:39

can be understood in terms of slope intercept form that

00:42

you know Y equals MX plus B thing Hopefully we're

00:45

drilling into you right now that this happens a lot

00:47

on the right you're given the slope intercept form and

00:50

you have to kind of back out what the equation

00:53

means in a Peruvian philosophical way In place of our

00:56

Y term we have h the number of houses he's

00:59

painted And in place of acts we have tea or

01:02

the number of work days he has spent painting When

01:05

H is ten we know he's painted ten houses where

01:08

we could then calculate for the T value should be

01:10

five But we don't need to know the exact number

01:12

of days here It's need to know what the answer

01:15

would represent philosophy of it The greater meaning which is

01:19

the number of work days it has taken him to

01:21

paint Those ten houses So that's it The answer is

01:24

C That's the number of work days Take straight to

01:26

paint ten houses I don't know how long it take 00:01:28.38 --> [endTime] you to a penthouse Never done it never will
