Clare earned a total of $12 for 2 hours of yard work. How many hours in all will it take Clare

Mathematics
1 answer:
Luba_88 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

$12 = 2hours

Find how much Clare was paid for one hour

Total money earned ÷ number of hours = wage per hour

12 ÷ 2 = $6 per hour

set up equation

6x = 18

This equation says 6 dollars an hour × number of hours = $18

To solve for this equation, divide both sides by 6 (this isolates the variable)

6x ÷ 6 = 18 ÷ 6

1x = 3

x = 3

A linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solution the set of all solutions to a linear equation in two variables f

<span>1, During a 1-hr television program, there were 22 commercials, Some commercials were 15 sec and some were 30 sec long. Find the number of 15- sec commercials and the number of 30 sec commercial if the total playing time for commercial was 9.5 minutes.

</span>a) <span>show how to formulate your system of equations for your problem,

Answer:
- state the variables: x number of 15 sec commercials, y number of 30 sec commercials
- translate the word statement into algebraic language

b) state the two equations:

- translate the word statement into algebraic equations:

</span><span>* there were 22 commercials => x + y = 22
* the total playing time for commercial was 9.5 minutes => 15x + 30y = 9.5*60 </span><span>

Answer:
Equation (1) x + y = 22
Equation (2) 15x + 30y =  570

c) state which method you will use to solve either addition or substitution

Answer:
adition: multiply the first equation times - 15 and add the two equations.

d) solve your system showing and explaining each step of the process

Answer:
- muliply eq (1) times - 15

-15x - 15y = - 330

- add that to the eq (2):

-15x + 15x - 15y + 30y = -330 + 570

- add like terms: 15y = 240

- divide both members by 15: 15y/15 = 240 / 15 => y = 16

- replace y = 16 in eq I(1) => x + 16 = 22 => x = 22 - 16 = 6

Solution: x = 6, y = 16

e) Be sure to check your solution!

x + y = 22
6 + 16 = 22
22 = 22 --> check

15x + 30y = 9.5*60
15(6) + 30(16) = 570
90 + 480 = 570
570 = 570 ---> check

f) Once a solution is found explain what this solution means in the context of the problem, write the answer to the word problem in words</span><span>

The solution means that d</span><span>uring a 1-hr television program, there were</span><span> 6 commercials of 15 sec and 16 commercials of 30 sec.

2, How many quarts of water should be mixed with a 30% vinegar solution to obtain 12 qt of a 25% vinegar solution. (Hint: water is 0% vinegar).</span>

a) variables:

- state the variables
x: number of quarters of water
y: number of quarters of vinegar

- translate the words into mathematical language

12 qt 25% vinegar solution

=> total number of quarts = 12 = x + y

balance in vinegar:

vinegar from water + vinegar from 30% vinegar solution = vinegar in the 25% vinegar solution

0 + 0.3y = 0.25 (x + y)

c) Equations

Eq (1) x + y = 12

Eq (2): 0.3y = 0.25x + 0.25y

=> 0.25x - 0.05y = 0

d) solve

- multiply eq (1) times 0.05 and add to eq (2)

0.05x + 0.05y = 0.6
0.25x - 0.05y = 0
------------------------
0.30x = 0.6

x = 0.6 / 0.3 = 2

x + y = 12 => y = 12 - y = 12 - 2 = 10

Solution: x = 2, y = 10

e) check:

x + y = 12
2 qt + 10qt = 12 qt
12 qt = 12 qt ---> check

vinegar:

10*0.3 = 12*0.25
3 = 3 -> check

f) Explanation of the solution

The solution means that you have to mix 2 qts of water with 10 qts of 30% vinegar solution to obtain 12 qt of 25% vinegar solution.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

10* 299.99=2999.9

2999.9/100=29.999

this would round up to 30, so Brittany saved $30. : )

I have to write the definitions of all of these math terms, can you help me?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Solution of an Equation in Two Variables - Generally, a two-variable system solution is an ordered pair that makes BOTH equations valid.

Graph of an Equation in Two Variables - In the Ax + By = C form, linear equations with two variables will appear, and the resulting graph is always a straight line.

Linear Equation - Any equation that can be written in shape is a linear equation. Ax+b=0, 0.0 Where the real numbers are a and b, and x is a vector.

Linear Function - Those whose graph is a straight line are linear functions. The following form has a linear function. F(x) = y = a + bx.

I can't add a drawing right now, but I help these help!!
