Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x= money earned per hour working as a cashier.

y=money earned per hour working delivering newspapers.

We propose the following system of equations:

5x + 4y =77

6x + 3y=78

We solve the system by reduction method:

-6*(5x+4y=77) ⇒ -30x-24y=-462

5*(6x+3y=78)⇒ 30x+15y=390

---------------------------

-9y=-72 ⇒ y=-72 /-9=8

Now, we get the value of "x" replacing the value of "y" by "8" in any part of the equation above.

5x + 4(8)=77

5x+32=77

5x=77-32

5x=45

x=45/5=9

therefore;

money earned per hour working as a cashier= $9/ hour

money earned per hour working delivering newspapers=$8/hour

lara [203]

Answer:

3/4=ice cream

1/8=chocolate syrup

1/16=cherries

Total=3/4+1/8+1/16

$\frac{3X4}{4X4} +\frac{1X2}{8X2} + \frac{1X1}{16X1} \\\frac{12+2+1}{16} = \frac{15}{6}$

Total cups =15/6=2.5 cups.

Evaluate the function f(x) at the given numbers (correct to six decimal places). F(x) = x2 − 5x x2 − x − 20 , x = 5.5, 5.1, 5.05

exis [7]

we are given

$f(x)=\frac{x^2-5x}{x^2-x-20}$

Firstly, we will simplify it

$f(x)=\frac{x(x-5)}{(x-5)(x+4)}$

$f(x)=\frac{x}{(x+4)}$

At x=5.5:

we can plug x=5.5

$f(5.5)=\frac{5.5}{(5.5+4)}$

$f(5.5)=0.578947$

At x=5.1:

we can plug x=5.1

$f(5.1)=\frac{5.1}{(5.1+4)}$

$f(5.1)=0.56043956$

At x=5.05:

we can plug x=5.05

$f(5.05)=\frac{5.05}{(5.05+4)}$

$f(5.05)=0.558011$

At x=5.01:

we can plug x=5.01

$f(5.01)=\frac{5.01}{(5.01+4)}$

$f(5.01)=0.5560488$

At x=5.005:

we can plug x=5.005

$f(5.005)=\frac{5.005}{(5.005+4)}$

$f(5.005)=0.5558023$

At x=5.001:

we can plug x=5.001

$f(5.001)=\frac{5.001}{(5.001+4)}$

$f(5.001)=0.5556049$

At x=4.9:

we can plug x=4.9

$f(4.9)=\frac{4.9}{(4.9+4)}$

$f(4.9)=0.5505617$

At x=4.95:

we can plug x=4.95

$f(4.95)=\frac{4.95}{(4.95+4)}$

$f(4.95)=0.5530726$

At x=4.99:

we can plug x=4.99

$f(4.99)=\frac{4.99}{(4.99+4)}$

$f(4.99)=0.55506117$

At x=4.995:

we can plug x=4.995

$f(4.995)=\frac{4.995}{(4.995+4)}$

$f(4.995)=0.55503085$

At x=4.999:

we can plug x=4.999

$f(4.999)=\frac{4.999}{(4.999+4)}$

$f(4.999)=0.55550616$
