Answer: the service charge per hour for premium services is $5.5

the service charge per hour for regular services is $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the service charge per hour for premium services.

Let y represent the service charge per hour for regular services.

One customer was charged $38 after spending 2 h in premium areas and 9 regular hours. It means that

2x + 9y = 38- - - - - - - - - - - 1

Another customer spent 3 h in premium areas and 6 regular hours and was charged $34.50. It means that

3x + 6y = 34.5- - - - - - - - - - -2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2. It becomes

6x + 27y = 114

6x + 12y = 69

Subtracting, it becomes

15y = 45

y = 45/15

y = 3

Substituting y = 3 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 9 × 3 = 38

2x + 27 = 38

2x = 38 - 27 = 11

x = 11/2 = 5.5

A parking space is 20 feet long. A pickup truck is 6 yards long. How many inches longer is the parking space than the truck
masya89 [10]

1 yard = 3 feet.

Multiply the length of the truck by 3 to get total feet:

6 x 3 = 18 feet.

Subtract the length of the truck from the length of the parking space:

20 - 18 = 2 feet

1 foot = 12 inches.

Multiply 2 feet by 12:

2 x 12 = 24 inches longer.

If y varies directly as x and y=60 when x=12, find y if x=35
Drupady [299]

Answer: y=175

Step-by-step explanation: y&x

y=kx

(Where k is a constant)

When y=60,x=12...we have

60=12k

Divide both side by 12

12k/12=60/12

k=5

Equation becomes y=5k

Finding y when x=35

y=5(35)

y=175

Twice the product of 3and a number exceeds the sum of the number and 80 by 10.what is the number?
Hatshy [7]
First, create an equation with the criteria given.

If we let x be your number,
2(3x) = 80 + x + 10
(2(3x) is twice the product of 3 and x, and if it exceeds x+80 by 10, then we add 10 to x+80 to make the two sides of the equation equal.)

Now, solve for x.

6x=90+x \\ 5x=90 \\ x=18
