Answer:

The amount they charged to wash a car is <u>$6</u> and vacuum a car is <u>$2</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Trisha and Byron are washing and vacuuming cars to raise money for a class trip.

Trisha raised $38 washington 5 cars and vacuuming 4 cars.

Byron raises $28 by washing 4 cars and vacuuming 2 cars.

Now, to find the amount they charged to wash a car and vacuum a car.

Let the amount charged for washing a car be x.

And the amount charged for vacuuming a car be y.

So, the total amount Trisha raised:

5x+4y=38........(1)

And, the total amount Byron raised:

4x+2y=28.

Now, to get the amount they charged to wash a car and vacuum a car we use elimination method:

5x+4y=38\\4x+2y=28......\times 2

5x+4y=38\\8x+4y=56

-3x=-18

3x=18

<em>Dividing both sides by 3 we get:</em>

x=6.

<u>Amount charged to wash a car = $6.</u>

Now, putting the value of x in equation (1) we get:

5(6)+4y=38.

5\times 6+4y=38

30+4y=38.

<em>Subtracting both sides by 30 we get:</em>

4y=8.

<em>Dividing both sides by 4 we get:</em>

y=2.

<u>Amount charged to vacuum a car = $2.</u>

Therefore, the amount they charged to wash a car is $6 and vacuum a car is $2.

5 barrels catch rainwater in the schoolyard. Four barrels are the same size, and the fifth barrel holds 10 liters of water. Comb
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The volume each of the four barrels of the same size will be at least 47.5 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of each of the four barrels is v liters.

Now, the amount of water that can be held in the fifth barrel is 10 liters. The total capacity of holding water for the 5 barrels combines is at least 200 liters.

So, from the above-given information, we can write the inequality to determine the volume of each of the four barrels will be  

10 + 4v ≥ 200

Solving this we get,

4v ≥ 190

⇒ v ≥ 47.5

Therefore, the volume each of the four barrels of the same size will be at least 47.5 liters. (Answer)
