X = 1st job
y = 2nd job

x + y = 22......x = 22 - y
7x + 8.25y = 171.50

7(22 - y ) + 8.25y = 171.50
154 - 7y + 8.25y = 171.50
-7y + 8.25y = 171.50 - 154
1.25y = 17.50
y = 17.50 / 1.25
y = 14 <== 14 hrs at the 8.25 per hr job

x + y = 22
x + 14 = 22
x = 22 - 14
x = 8 <=== 8 hrs at the 7 per hr job

Problemas de razonamiento división de números decimales. Ayer Susana se fue de viaje a visitar a unos familiares. Recorrió 135,7

schepotkina [342]

Usando las relaciones entre velocidad, distancia y tiempo, se encuentra que ella condujo a una velocidad media de 90,5 km/h.

--------------------------

La <u>velocidad </u><u>es la distancia dividida por el tiempo</u>, por lo que:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

Total de 135,75 km, o sea, $d = 135,75$
Llego en 1,5 horas, o sea, $t = 1,5$

La velocidad es:

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{135,75}{1,5}$

División de decimales, o sea, seguimos multiplicando los números por 10 hasta que ninguno sea decimal:

$v = \frac{135,75}{1,5} = \frac{1357,5}{15} = \frac{13575}{150} = 90,5$

Ella condujo a una velocidad media de 90,5 km/h.

Mathematical Statement Justification

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given mathematical statement

$4x+3=x+5-2x$

So,

$\begin{array}{cc}4x+3=x+5-2x&\text{ Given}\end{array}$

2. Rewrite it as

$4x+3=x-2x+5$

So,

$\begin{array}{cc}4x+3=x-2x+5&\text{ Commutative property of addition}\end{array}$

3. Combine like terms $x$ and $-2x:$

$4x+3=-x+5$

So,

$\begin{array}{cc}4x+3=-x+5&\text{ Combine like terms}\end{array}$

4. Add $x$ to both sides:

$4x+3+x=-x+5+x\\ \\5x+3=5$

So,

$\begin{array}{cc}5x+3=5&\text{ Addition property of equality}\end{array}$

5. Subtract 3 from both sides:

$5x+3-3=5-3\\ \\5x=2$

So,

$\begin{array}{cc}5x=2&\text{ Subtraction property of equality}\end{array}$

6. Divide both sides by 5:

$x=\dfrac{2}{5}$

So,

$\begin{array}{cc}x=\dfrac{2}{5}&\text{ Division property of equality}\end{array}$

Simplify the slope of AC

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

$Slope\:\: \overline{AC} =1$

Step-by-step explanation:

A is on the same point on the x-axis as B and the same point on the y-axis as D

Therefore, the coordinate of A is (0,0)

C is on the same point on the x-axis as D and the same point on the y-axis as B.

Therefore, the coordinate of C is (a,a)

We are to determine the slope of the line joining A to C.

$Slope, m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\(x_1,y_1)=(0,0),(x_2,y_2)=(a,a)\\$Therefore, Slope of AC$\\m =\dfrac{a-0}{a-0}\\=\dfrac{a}{a}\\\\=1$

$Slope\:\: \overline{AC} =1$

I need to determine each angles measure. M 4<br><br> M 6

Ulleksa [173]

By geometrical inspection we have:
M4 = 30
Then the angle M6 can be determined from the fact that you have a rectangle triangle (345) that has an angle of 90 and another of 30. The missing angle measures:
180-90-30 = 60 = M3
Then to find M6 we have
M3 + 60 + M6 = 180
M6 = 180-60-M3
M6 = 180-60-60
M6 = 60
answer:
M4 = 30
M6 = 60
