Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for hours, and the second mechanic worked for hours. Together they charged a total of . What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was per hour?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate charged by first mechanic per hour= x =$85

The rat charged by second mechanic per hour =y = $70

Step-by-step explanation:

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours. Together they charged a total of $1900. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $155 per hour?

Solution

Let

x= hourly rate of the first mechanic

y= hourly rate of the second mechanic

Derive two equations to solve for the two unknowns

10x + 15y = 1900 (1)

x + y = 155 (2)

From (2)

x + y = 155

x=155-y

Substitute x=155-y into (1)

10x + 15y = 1900

10(155-y) + 15y =1900

1550 -10y + 15y =1900

5y =1900-1550

5y=350

Divide both sides by 5

y= 70

Substitute y=70 into (2)

x + y = 155

x + (70) =155

x=155 - 70

= 85

x= 85

The rate charged by first mechanic per hour= x =$85

The rat charged by second mechanic per hour =y = $70

Answers

Answer:

(3/2, 0, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

From 2x+y=3 we have => y=3-2x

From 2y-4z=-4 we have -4z=-2y-4 => z=1/2y+1 => z=1/2 (3-2x) +1 => z=5/2-x

Plug in y & z to find x

2x−y+3z=6 => 2x+(3-2x)+3(5/2-x)=6 => 2x+3-2x+15/2-3x=6 => 21/2-3x =6 => x=3/2

plug in x to find y

2x+y=3 => 2(1.5) + y =3 => y=0

plug in y to find z

2y -4z =-4 => 2(0)-4z=-4 => -4z=-4 => z=1

On the first day in each month, Enid deposited $4 into her bank account and Jim deposited $3 into his. They opened these accounts on May 15, 1990. On December 31, 1990, they each had $72 dollars in their account. How much did each person deposit on May 15?

Answers

Answer:

The amount of money in Enid bank account can be written as a linear equation.

Ye = Xe + $4*m

where Ye is the money that Enid has in her account, m is the number of months that have passed since she opened it, and Xe is the initial deposit.

For Jim, the equation is similar:

Yj = Xj + $3*m

where Yj and Xj are similar as above.

Between May 15 and December 31 of the same year, we have 7 months (where i am counting December because the deposit is made in the first day of the month).

Then we have that:

Ye = $72 = Xe + $4*7 = Xe + $28

Xe = $72 - $28 = $44

So in May 15, Enid deposited $44.

For Jim we have:

Yj = $72 = Xj + $3*7 = Xj + $21

Xj = $72 - $21 = $51

So in May 15, Jim deposited $51.

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation 4x2 = 64? A. x = −16 and x = 16 B.x = −8 and x = 8 C.x = −4 and x = 4 D.x = −2 and x = 2

Answers

Answer:

x = ±4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2 = 64

Divide each by 4

4x^2 /4= 64/4

x^2 = 16

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(16)

x = ±4

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\boxed{x=\pm 4}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]4x^2 = 64[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4.

[tex](4x^2)/4 = 64/4[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]x^2 =16[/tex]

Take the square root on both sides.

[tex]\sqrt{x^2 } =\pm \sqrt{16}[/tex]

Simplify.

4a^2 − 10a + 25

Answers

Answer:

16x^2 + 24x + 9  

Step-by-step explanation:

perfect square trinomial is of the form

a^2 + 2 * a * b + b^2

9x^2 + 9x + 1   = (3x)^2 + 3*3x*1 + 1^2  not a perfect square trinomial

36b^2 − 24b + 8  = ( 6b)^2  -2 * 6b *2 + ( 2 sqrt(2)) ^2  not a perfect square trinomial

16x^2 + 24x + 9  = ( 4x) ^2 + 2 * ( 4x) * 3 + 3^2 = perfect square trinomial

4a^2 − 10a + 25 = ( 2a) ^2 -  1 * 2a *5 + 5^2   not a perfect square trinomial

Answer:

The third answer listed:

[tex]16x^2+24x+9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The trinomial:  

[tex]16x^2+24x+9[/tex]

can be factored out as follows:

[tex]16x^2+24x+9\\(4x)^2+24x+3^2\\(4x)^2+12x+12x+3^2\\4x(4x+3)+3(4x+3)\\(4x+3)\,(4x+3)\\(4x+3)^2[/tex]

which as can be seen,is the perfect square of a binomial, so this trinomial is what is called a perfect square trinomial.

All the edges of a cube have the same length. Tony claims that the formula SA = 6s, where s is the length of
each side of the cube, can be used to calculate the surface area of a cube.

b. Why does this formula work for cubes?
Frances believes this formula can be applied to calculate the surface area of any rectangular prism. Is
she correct? Why or why not?
d. Using the dimensions of Length, Width and Height, create a formula that could be used to calculate the
surface area of any rectangular prism, and prove your formula by calculating the surface area of a
rectangular prism with dimensions L = 5m, W = 6m and H=8m.

Answers

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Net of a cube

Fig. 1 is the net of a cube  

b. Does the formula work?

Tony's formula works if you ignore dimensions.

There are six squares in the net of a cube.

If each side has a unit length s, the total area of the cube is 6s.

c. Will the formula work for any rectangular prism?

No, because a rectangular prism has sides of three different lengths — l, w, and h — as in Fig. 2.

d. Area of a rectangular prism

A rectangular prism has six faces.

A top (T) and a bottom (b) — A = 2×l×w

A left (L) and a right (R)    —   A = 2×l×h

A front (F) and a back (B) —   A = 2×w×h

                                  Total area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

If l = 5 m, w = 6 m and h = 8 m,

[tex]\begin{array}{rl}A &=& \text{2$\times$ 5 m $\times$ 6 m + 2$\times$ 5 m $\times$ 8 m + 2 $\times$ 6 m $\times$ 8 m}\\&=& \text{60 m}^{2} + \text{80 m}^{2} + \text{96 m}^{2}\\&=& \textbf{236 m}^{2}\\\end{array}[/tex]

If the initial amount of iodine-131 is 537 grams , how much is left after 10 days?

Answers

Answer:

225.78 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we would be using the formula

P(t) = Po × 2^t/n

Where P(t) = Remaining amount after r hours

Po = Initial amount

t = Time

In the question,

Where P(t) = Remaining amount after r hours = unknown

Po = Initial amount = 537

t = Time = 10 days

P(t) = 537 × 2^(10/)

P(t) = 225.78 grams

Therefore, the amount of iodine-131 left after 10 days = 225.78 grams

Write the event as set of outcomes. We flip three coins and obtain more tails than heads.
A. {ttt}
B. {ttt, tth, tht, htt}
C. {ttt, tth}
D. {tth, tht, htt}

Answers

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the possible outcomes are listed on choice B.

The event is a set of outcomes. if we flip three coins and obtain more tails than heads is E = {ttt, tth, tht, htt} option (B) is correct.

What is set?

A set is a collection of clearly - defined unique items. The term "well-defined" applies to a property that makes it simple to establish whether an entity actually belongs to a set. The term 'unique' denotes that all the objects in a set must be different.

We have three coins.

As we know, in a coin there are two sides head and a tail.

If we flip three coins then the set of all the possible outcomes:

O = {HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT}

The set of outcomes has more tails than heads.

E = {ttt, tth, tht, htt}

We can find the probability, the probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Probability = 4/8 = 1/2

Thus, the event is a set of outcomes. if we flip three coins and obtain more tails than heads is E = {ttt, tth, tht, htt} option (B) is correct.

Substituting for y, this becomes the quadratic ...

  x(-13 -x) = -12

  x^2 +13x = 12 . . . . . multiply by -1

  x^2 +13x +6.5^2 = 12 +6.5^2 . . . . . complete the square

  (x +6.5)^2 = 54.25

  x = -6.5 ± √54.25 . . . . . . take the square root, subtract 6.5

  x ≈ -13.865499313 or 0.8654599313

The value of y is the other of these two numbers. So, the two numbers of interest are {-13.865499313, 0.8654599313}.
