Answer:

The system of equation is given by:

a - m = 5

10*a + 15*m = 250

And the solution gives us a = 13 and m = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Desmond wants to pay 5$ more per hour Andrea than he pays Max. From that statement we can create one equation, that represents the difference between Max and Desmond payments, wich goes by:

a = m + 5

Desmond needs to fit the payment of his employees within a budget of $ 250, and he wants Andrea to work 10 hours while Max works for 15 hours. So the sum amount of time each employee works multiplied by the price of each hour should be equal to his budget. We have:

10*a + 15*m = 250

We have two equations and two variables, we can create a system that goes by:

a - m = 5

10*a + 15m = 250

In order to solve the system we can swap the value of a = m+ 5 into the second equation and solve for m, we have:

10(m+5) + 15m = 250

10m + 50 + 15m = 250

25m = 200

m = 8

In order to find the value of a, we put this value on the first equation:

a = m+5 = 8+5 = 13

Answer:

a-5=m

10a+15m = $250

Andreas hourly rate is $13 while that of Max is $8

step-by-step explanation:

Desmond has a budget of $250

He has workers (Andrea and Max)

He wishes to pay Andrea $5 more than he pays Max per hour.

He makes Andrea work 10 hours and Max 15 hours.

Now we are told to create a system of equations that will help Desmond determine Andrea's hourly rate,a and Max's hourly rate,m

a-5 = m

10a+15m= 250

Substitute a-5=m in equation 2

10a+(15×a-5) = 250

10a+15a-75= 250

25a-75= 250

25a=250+75

25a=325

a=325/25

a= 13

Now substitute a= 13 in equation 1

13-5= 8

So Andrea's hourly rate is $13 and Max's hourly rate is $8

How do you know that 50 is not a perfect square?
Alexus [3.1K]
We can always do a prime factoring of it, and check

50 = 2*5*5
        2*5²

a perfect square, so-called, is the resulting number of a squared value, well 50 is not the result of anything squared, is the result of 3 factors, in this case 2,5 and 5.

a perfect square will be something like say 64, or 144, because

64 = 8*8
        8²

144 = 12*12
          12²

I'm kinda guessing but I think it's 4.5 square feet because each triangle has 108 inches of area when you multiply by 6 you get 648 then from there you turn that into square feet
