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! :)

WRITE AN EQUATION FOR EACH OF THESE AND SOLVE IT TO FIND THE VALUE OF THE UNKNOWN NUMBER:
castortr0y [4]

a) a *5+5= 20

5a + 5 = 20

5a = 20 - 5

5a = 15

a = 15/5

a = 3

b) b/5 - 5 = 4

b/5 = 4 + 5

b/5 = 9

b =9*5

b = 45

Which equation supports the given conjecture?
Readme [11.4K]
The first part says the sum of the squares of two consecutive integers or in other words (x)(x)+(x+1)(x+1) so we can cross out A because 2 and 3 are prime numbers (no factors)  we can cross out all the others because the square root of 52 is not an integer so any equation with 52 in it does not satisfy the requirement. so none of them are corect.  additionally, some of the equations are obviously false such as 52+62=61
