Answer:the number of hours that the Simmons family used their sprinklers last summer is 30

the number of hours that the Wright family used their sprinklers last summer is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that the Simmons family used their sprinklers last summer.

Let y represent the number of hours that the Wright family used their sprinklers last summer.

The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 55 hours, it means that

x + y = 55

The water output rate for the Simmons family's sprinkler was 20l per hour. The water output rate for the Wright family's sprinkler was 35l per hour. The total water output was 1475l. It means that

20x + 35y = 1475 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 55 - y into equation 1, it becomes

20(55 - y) + 35y = 1475

1100 - 20y + 35y = 1475

- 20y + 35y = 1475 - 1100

15y = 375

y = 375/15 = 25

x = 55 - y = 55 - 25

x = 30

Help please<br>solve for x​
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: x= 47 (If that says 3x+2)(the picture is a little blurry)

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear pairs of angles sum to 180.

37+(3x+2) =180

Combine like terms

39+ 3x = 180

Subtract 39 from both sides

3x = 141

Divide both sides by 3

x= 47

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

EB = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you can use the power of a point, in the situation where two secants intersect in the interior of a circle. The formula is as follows:

CE * ED = AE * EB

(This is applied specifically to this problem)

We can substitute the values given,

5 * (x - 4) = 3 * x

simplify,

5x - 20 = 3x

and solve.

2x - 20 = 0

2x = 20

x = 10

Since the value of EB is x, EB = 10.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

$899.15

0.85(1199) - 120

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the purchase total, multiply the price by the percent paid and subtract the certificate.

The store offers a 15% discount. This means you pay 85% of the price. So the discounted price is 0.85(1199) = 1019.15

Subtract the certificate 1019.15 - 120 = 899.15

The composite function is 0.85(1199) - 120.
