Answer:

First: $65

Second: $115

Step-by-step explanation:

We write equations for each part of this situation.

<u>The Total Charge</u>

Together they charged 1550. This means 1550 is made up of the first mechanics rate for 15 hours and the second's rate for 5 hours. Lets call the first's rate a, so he charges 15a. The second's let's call b. He charges 5b. We add them together 15a+5b=1550.

<u>The Sum of the Rates</u>

Since the first's rate is a and the second is b, we can write a+b=180 since their sum is 180.

We solve for a and b by substituting one equation into another. Solve for the variable. Then substitute the value into the equation to find the other variable.

For a+b=180, rearrange to b=180-a and substitute into 15a+5b=1550.

15a + 5 (180-a)=1550

15a+900-5a=1550

10a+900-900=1550-900

10a=650

a=$65 was charged by the first mechanic.

We substitute to find the second mechanic's rate.

65+b=180

65-65+b=180-65

b= $115 was charged by the second mechanic

I need help quick! please!

Answer: the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4 is 0.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the answers to the SAT questions. This is a binomial distribution since the outcomes are two ways. It is either the answer is correct or incorrect. Also, the probability of success or failure is constant for each trial. The probability of success, p = 0.35

The probability of failure, q would be 1 - p = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

We want to determine P(x < 4)

n = number of trial = 9

x = 4

From the binomial distribution calculator,

P(x < 4) = 0.61

Solve for x and Y using the angles shown, please helppp
inna [77]

Answer:

<h2>x = 6, y = 24</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the vertical angles and supplementary angles.

Vertical angles are congruent. Therefore we have the equation:

(1)\qquad14x+4=4y-8

Supplementary angles add up to 180°. Therefore we have the equation:

(2)\qquad(16x-4)+(14x+4)=180

Solve (2):

(16x-4)+(14x+4)=180\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\(16x+14x)+(-4+4)=180\\30x=180\qquad\text{divide both sides by 30}\\x=6

Put the value of x to (1) and sole:

4y-8=14(6)+4\\4y-8=84+4\\4y-8=88\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\4y=96\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\y=24

A colony of bees have produced about 4 oz of honey. Some time later they have about 7oz of honey. If the bees produce at a rate
yanalaym [24]

It took 50 hours to produce 3 oz of honey.

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

Rate of production= 1.5% per hour

Initial amount of honey = 4 oz

Final amount of honey = 7 oz

Honey produced = 3 oz

Amount produced = (initial amount x rate x time) /100

3 = (4 x 1.5 x t) /100

300 = 6t

t = 300/6

t = 50 hours

It took 50 hours for the bees to produce 3 oz of honey.
