8 0

Answer: 16,000 students


Step-by-step explanation:

8/20 = x/40,000

20 * x = 8 * 40,000

x = (8 * 40,000)/20

x = 16,000 students

A system of linear equations is graphed. Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the solution to the system? (12, 0) (1, 1)
GuDViN [60]
Line 1--------- >(0,2)     (1,-1)
y=mx+b         m=(-1-2)/(1-0)=-3
2=(-3)*(0)+b----- > b=2
y1=-3x+2

Line 2--------- >(0,-1)     (2,2)
y=mx+b         m=(2+1)/(2-0)=3/2
-1=(3/2)*(0)+b----- > b=-1
y2=(3/2)x-1

<span>using a graphic tool
see attached figure</span>

the best estimate solution for the system is <span>(1, 1) 
because </span>is the only one within the range of the x axis (-5,5) and the y axis (-5,5)

The BJ Electrical Company needs to hire master electricians and apprentices for a one week project. Master electricians receive
Stells [14]

Answer:

The BJ Electrical Company

The BJ Electrical Company should hire:

8 master electricians and

22 apprentices

in order to accomplish the project and still meet the contract safety requirements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of workers needed = 30

Class of workers:

Master electrician, with per week salary = $750 per worker

Apprentices, with per week salary = $350 per worker

Number of inspection hours required from each master electrician = 3 hours

Total inspection hours for the project = 25 hours

Average number of master electricians needed = 25/3 = 8.333 = 8

Number of each type of worker needed:

Master electricians = 8

Apprentices = 22 (30 - 8)

Cost to be incurred for workers:

Master electricians = $6,000 (8 * $750)

Apprentices =               7,700 (22 * $350)

Total labor cost =      $13,700
