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! :)

DanielleElmas [232]

Question:  The probability that s student owns a car is 0.65, and the probability that a student owns a computer is 0.82.

a. If the probability that a student owns both is 0.55, what is the probability that a randomly selected student owns a car or computer?

b. What is the probability that a randomly selected student does not own a car or computer?

Answer:

(a) 0.92

(b) 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Applying

Pr(A or B) = Pr(A) + Pr(B) – Pr(A and B)................. Equation 1

Where A represent Car, B represent Computer.

From the question,

Pr(A) = 0.65, Pr(B) = 0.82, Pr(A and B) = 0.55

Substitute these values into equation 1

Pr(A or B) = 0.65+0.82-0.55

Pr(A or B) = 1.47-0.55

Pr(A or B) = 0.92.

Hence the probability that a student selected randomly owns a house or a car is 0.92

(b)

Applying

Pr(A or B) = 1 – Pr(not-A and not-B)

Pr(not-A and not-B) = 1-Pr(A or B) ..................... Equation 2

Given: Pr(A or B)  = 0.92

Substitute these value into equation 2

Pr(not-A and not-B) = 1-0.92

Pr(not-A and not-B) = 0.08

Hence the probability that a student selected randomly does not own a car or a computer is 0.08

kondaur [170]

The perimeter of each is the sum of the lengths of its sides.

Triangle Perimeter = 16 + 4x-3 +3x = 7x+13

Square Perimeter = 2x +2x +2x +2x = 8x

If these are equal, you have

7x+13=8x\\\\13=x\qquad \mbox{subtract 7x}\\\\26=2x\qquad \mbox{multiply by 2}

The length of a side of the square is 26 units.
