Carpenters Charlie and Chris total charges would be equal after working for 10 hours

<h3>How to determine the number of hours?</h3>

Let x represent the number of hours, and y represent the amount earned.

So, the equations are:

Charlie, y = 15x + 100

Chris, y = 20x + 50

When their earnings are equal, we have:

20x + 50 = 15x + 100

Collect like terms

20x - 15x = 100 - 50

Evaluate the differences

5x = 50

Divide both sides by 5

x = 10

Hence, their total charges would be equal after working for 10 hours

Find the solution of the system of equations.<br><br> 15x -4y = -50<br><br> 3x - 2y = -16
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

15x - 4y =-50 -----(i)

3x - 2y=-16 --------(ii)

Using Substitution

From (i)

15x=4y-50

x=4y-50/15

Substitute x=4y-50/[15] into eqn (ii)

3x - 2y= -16

3[4y-50]/15 - 2y =-16

Multiply through by 15 to clear the fraction

3(4y - 50) - 30y=-240

12y - 150 -30y=-240

12y-30y=-240+150

-18y = -90

y=90/18

y=5.

Substitute into any eqn of choice to get x

3x - 2y=-16

3x - 2(5)=-16

3x - 10=-16

3x=-16+10

3x=-6

x=-6/3

x=-2.

x= -2

y=5

Can someone please help me.
Art [367]

I will give you everything I can do:

11)

Lets say Car A travels at x mph. That means Car B travels at x+2 mph.

Both of them are traveling towards each others, so we can say the total speed is 2x+2.

Now i takes 3 hrs and we know the distance.

Since R*T=D

Then 3(2x+2)=270

So 2x+2=90

2x=88

x=44

12)

To find perpendicular we want to find the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. Therefore the slope is 3/2.

Now we must find the equation of the line with the given variable.

First find b.

5=3/2*4+b

b = -1

So the equation of this line is:

y=3/2x-1

13) All work will be shown below.

6-3(-2-4x)=2(3(x-4)+7)

6+6+12x=2(3x-12+7)

12+12x=2(3x-5)

12+12x=6x-10

6x=-2

x = -1/3

14)

First we must find the amount each train traveled.

The speed of F train(Freight train)=x

The speed of P train(passenger train)=x+6

Their combined speed is 2x+6

It takes 2 hrs to cover 100 miles

So 2(2x+6)=100

2x+6=50

2x=44

x=22

So the freight train covered 44 miles and the passenger train covered 56 miles.

To find average speed you must do Total Distance/Total Time.

44/2 and 56/2

Which are 22 and 28.

The average speed of F train is 22 mph and average speed of P train is 28 mph.

15) Again opposite reciprocal.

3/5 -> -5/3

Work:

-4=-3*-5/3+b

-4=5+b

b=-9

y = -5/3x-9

16)

F=kx-kx0

First kx0 = 0

So F=kx

So x=F/k
