Answer:

Giselle worked 18 hours as blacksmith and 12 hours as carpenter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C be the number of hours Giselle works as carpenter and B represent the number of hours Giselle works as blacksmith.

We have been given that last week, Giselle worked both jobs for a total of 30 hours. We can represent this information in an equation as:

B+C=30...(1)

We are also told that she earns $25 per hour as a blacksmith, so so amount earned in B hours will be 25B.

As Giselle earns $20 per hour as a carpenter, so amount earned in C hours will be 20C.

Since she earned a total of $690 last week by doing both jobs, we can represent this information in an equation as:

25B+20C=690...(2)

We will use substitution method to solve our system of linear equations.

From equation (1) we will get,

C=30-B

Substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,

25B+20(30-B)=690

25B+600-20B=690

25B+600-600-20B=690-600

25B-20B=690-600

5B=90

\frac{5B}{5}=\frac{90}

B=18

Therefore, Giselle worked 18 hours as blacksmith.

Upon substituting B=18 in equation (1) we will get,

18+C=30

18-18+C=30-18

C=12

Therefore, Giselle worked 12 hours as carpenter.

Solve for unknown in 2x^3+6x^2-20x=0​
Licemer1 [7]

The solution of x is x = 0, x =2 and x = -5

<h3>How to solve for the unknown?</h3>

The equation is given as:

2x^3+6x^2-20x=0​

Factor out x

x(2x^2+6x-20)=0​

Split the equation

x = 0 or 2x^2+6x - 20=0​

Solve for x in 2x^2+6x - 20=0​

Expand the equation

2x^2 + 10x - 4x - 20 = 0

Factorize the equation

(2x - 4)(x +5) = 0

Split the equation

2x - 4 = 0 and x + 5 = 0

Solve for x

x =2 and x = -5

Hence, the solution of x is x = 0, x =2 and x = -5

Help me please, I need help I don’t understand this problem

The maximum speed of a boat at 30 feet length of water is 0.093 nautical miles/hour or knots.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • The equation for the maximum speed, s is given by s²= (16/9)x
  • where, x is the length of the water line in feet.

It is given that, the modeled equation s²= (16/9)x is used to find the maximum speed in knots or nautical miles per hour.

The question is asked to find the maximum speed when the length of the water is 30 feet.

Therefore, to find the maximum speed in 30 feet water, the given modeled equation is used. So, substitute the 30 feet in place of x.

<u>Now, calculating the maximum speed :</u>

s² = (16/9)(30)

s² = 480 / 9

s² = 53.3

Taking square root on both sides,

s = √53.3

s = 7.3

The maximum speed of a boat at 30 feet length of water is 7.3 nautical miles/hour or knots.
