Let x be the number of hours the master electrician works and y the numbers of hours his apprentice works.

The master electrician earns $62 per hour, which means that he earns 62x.
His apprentice earns $40 per hour, which means that he earns 40y.

Together they are paid $492, so we can get the equation:
62x + 40y = 492.

We know that the electrician worked 3 hours more than his apprentice. So he worked x = y + 3 hours. Now let's replace x by its new value in the previous equation.

62x + 40y = 492
62(y+3) + 40y = 492
62y + 186 + 40y = 492

Now we need to put variables apart and numbers apart, so we subtract 186 from both sides of the equation:
62y + 40y + 186 - 186 = 492 - 186
102y = 306

Now we divide both sides by 102
(102y)/102 = 306/102
y = 3

So the apprentice worked 3 hours.
As we already mentioned, the electrician worked 3 hours more than his apprentice.
So he worked x = y + 3 = 3+3 = 6 hours.

The master electrician earns $62 per hour. Since he worked 6 hours, he earns 62 * 6 = 372 dollars.

So the master electrician earns $372 (Option D)

Hope this helps! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider an odd monomial function with the coefficient a.

The properties that satisfy the graph of an odd monomial function are:

  • When a>0, the graph has no maximum or minimum point.
  • When a<0, the graph has no minimum or maximum point.
  • When a<0, the graph is in Quadrant II and IV.
  • If  IaI increases, the graph becomes narrower.

Your answer is the relation is not a function as it doesn't pass the vertical line test. This means every x-value as one and only one corresponding y-value. There are two different y-values at x = 1.

sladkih [1.3K]

The ways can the jazz band be selected  so there are 2 trumpet players, 5 drummers, and 3 saxophonists is given below .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first do the math with only the trumpet,drummer  and saxophonists player.

There are 4 Trumpet Player. There are 4 choices of trumpet players. Which means for each drummer, there are 4 groups of musicians:

T 1 D1S1

T 1 D2S2

and so on

So if there are 4 groups of musicians for each Trumpet ,12 drummer and there are 7 saxophonists , we get 12 groups.

It would be the product of

4T2, 12D5 and 7S3

That is 6*792*35=166,320
