Answer:

d) 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Santiago be x years old today.

Then Juan is x + 8 years old.

In 4 years Santiago will be x + 4 years.

In 4 years Juan will be x + 12 years.

From the given information:

x + 4 = 0.5(x + 12)

x = 0.5x + 6 - 4

0.5x = 2

x = 2 / 0.5

x = 4.

Let S be Santiago’s age
Let J be Juan’s age.

Since Santiago is 8 yrs younger than Juan, we can write

Equation 1: S = J-8

In 4 yrs, Santiago age will be S + 4,
In 4 yrs, Juan’s age will be J + 4.

Given:
In 4 yrs, Santiago will be half of Juan’s age, so ..

Equation 2: S+4=(J+4)/2

We know the value of S from equation 1. Substitute S=J-8 in equation 2, we get

J -8 + 4=(J+4 )/2

J-4 = (J+4 )/2

2( J- 4) =J + 4
2J-8 =J + 4
2J-J =8+ 4
J = 12

Substitute J= 12 in equation 1
S= 12-8
S = 4

So, Santiago’s age is 4 yrs today.

A high school basketball team notices that attendance at its games changes at a constant rate based on the number of losses the
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The team looses 16 people/audience with each loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the team had lost eight games, 295 people attended the next game.

When the team had lost 12 games, 231 people attended the next game.

Slope = (295-231)/(8-12)

= 64/-4 = -16

Therefore, the team looses 16 people/audience with each loss.

And the attendance loss is 16 times as great as the number of games lost/losses.

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15. Together they char
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: Hourly rate for first mechanic:  $65

Hourly rate for second mechanic: $70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the hourly rate for first mechanic and y be the hourly rate for second mechanic.

The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15.

So first mechanic will charge for 10 hours = 10x

Second  mechanic will charge for 15 hours =15x

Together they charged a total of $1700.

i.e. 10x+15y=1700--------------(1)

Sum of the two rates was $135 per hour

x+y=135 ---------------(2)

Multiply the equation (2) by 10 on both sides , we get

10x+10y=1350   --------------(3)

Eliminate equation(3) from (1) , we get

5y=350\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{350}{5}=70

Put value of y in (2) , we get

x+70=135\\\Rightarrow\ x=135-70=65

Hence, the hourly rate for first mechanic is $65 and the hourly rate for first mechanic is $ 70.
