Answer:

x1 = 275 miles (shorter)

x2 = 318 miles (longer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x1 = be the shorter route

v1 = speed of the car in the shorter route

t1 = time it took to cover shorter route

x2 = the longer route

v2 = speed of the car in the longer route

t2 = time it took to cover longer route


x1 + 43 = x2   (1)

v2 = v1 -2   (2)


v2 = x2/t2 = x2/6

v1 = x1/t1 = x1/5


This means that

v2 = v1 -2   =>

x2/6 = x1/5 -2

The system of equations results

a.   x1 -x2 = -43

b.  x1/5 - x2/6 = 2

Solving this system of equations, we find that

x1 = 275 miles

x2 = 318 miles

Answer:

D1 = 275 miles

D2 = 318 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

D=R*T

D1 = be the shorter route

R1 = speed of the car in the shorter route

T1 = time it took to cover shorter route

D2 = the longer route

R2 = speed of the car in the longer route

T2 = time it took to cover longer route

D1 + 43 = D2   (1)

R2 = R1 -2   (2)

R2 = D2/T2 = x2/6

R1 = x1/T1 = x1/5

This means that

R2 = R1 -2   =>

D2/6 = D1/5 -2

The system of equations results

a.   D1 -D2 = -43

b.  D1/5 - D2/6 = 2

Solving this system of equations, we find that

D1 = 275 miles

D2 = 318 miles

8. Colby and Cheryl work in different local supermarkets. Colby regularly earns $8.90 per hour,
faust18 [17]

Answer:

colby

hourly rate =$8.90

overtime rate = time and a half = 1.5

the hourly overtime rate is the product of the overtime rate and the hourly rate.

hourly overtime rate= overtime rate × hourly rate

= 1.5 × $8.90

= $13.35

Cheryl

hourly rate = $7.10

overtime rate = double time = 2

the hourly overtime rate is the product of overtime rate and the hourly rate.

hourly overtime rate = overtime rate × hourly rate

= 2 × $7.10

= $14.20

<h3>Comparison</h3>

we note that the hourly overtime rate of cheryl is higher than the hourly overtime rate of colby, which implies that cheryl earns more for one hour of overtime.

we are also interested in the difference of the hourly overtime rate:

hourly overtime rate colby — hourly overtime rate cheryl

= $14.20 – $13.35

= $0.85

thus cheryl earns $0.85 more for one hour of overtime than colby .

<h3>result</h3>

<h2>cheryl,$0.85</h2>
