Rachel: 3 bracelets in an hour.
Oliver: 2 bracelets in an hour but has completed 5 bracelets

Rachel : y = 3x
Oliver : y = 2x + 5

Let x be the number of hours. y is the total number of bracelets made in x hours.

3x = 2x + 5
3x - 2x = 5
x = 5

It would take 5 hours for Rachel to have the same number of bracelet as Oliver.

Rachel: 3x = 3(5) = 15
Oliver: 2x + 5 = 2(5) + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15

Answer:

Hence, she will have the same number of bracelets as oliver after 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel can make 3 bracelets in an hour. Oliver can make only 2 bracelets in an hour, but he already has completed 5 bracelets.

Let b be the total number of bracelets made.

so the number of bracelets made by Rachel in 'h' hours is: b=3h

and the number of bracelets made by Oliver in 'h' hours is: b=2h+5.

We are asked to find the value of 'h' so that the number of bracelets made by both of them are equal.

i.e.

3h=2h+5

⇒  3h-2h=5

⇒  h=5.

Hence, she will have the same number of bracelets as oliver after 5 hours.

( and they will make b=3×5=15 bracelets )

Find the value of ln(-7).
const2013 [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of ln (-7)

ln is same as Log to base e and mathematically , we have it for positive numbers only

For that of negative numbers, we get undefined results

However, by the use of special mathematical

methods, we have the answer for ln (-7) as;

1.94591015 + 3.14159265 i

As we can see, for the second part, the value for the coefficient of the complex number is pi and thus, we have the correct option as A

One week billy worked 36 hours at $6.70 per hour the next week he worked 40 hours at $6.85 per hour how much more did he earn th
krek1111 [17]

Week one:

36 * 6.70 = $241.20

Week two:

40 * 6.85 = $274

Subtract:

274 - 241.20 = $32.80

Therefore, he made $32.80 more the second week then he did the first week.

Best of Luck!

Solve the system.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

{x,y,z} = {-18,4,2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve equation [2] for the variable  x  

x = -10y + 2z + 18

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

(-10y+2z+18) + 9y + z = 20

- y + 3z = 2

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [3]

 3•(-10y+2z+18) + 27y + 2z = 58

   - 3y + 8z = 4

Solve equation [1] for the variable  y  

 y = 3z - 2

Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [3]

  - 3•(3z-2) + 8z = 4

   - z = -2

Solve equation [3] for the variable  z  

 z = 2

By now we know this much :

 x = -10y+2z+18

   y = 3z-2

   z = 2

Use the  z  value to solve for  y  

 y = 3(2)-2 = 4

Use the  y  and  z  values to solve for  x  

 x = -10(4)+2(2)+18 = -18
