Answer:

11 hours she worked at the grocery store

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming,

the number of hours worked at tutoring = x

the number of hours worked at grocery store = y

which means,

the amount she made at tutoring = x* $15

the amount she made at grocery store = y*$9

we have 2 equations

<em>total number of hours</em>

1) x+y= 15  

<em>total amount she earned</em>

2) x* $15+ y* $9= $159

From equation 1

x+y= 15  

x=15-y

<em>we replace this x value in equation 2</em>

x* $15+ y* $9= $159

(15-y)* $15+ y* $9= $159

(15*15)- 15y+9y=159

225-6y=159

225-159=6y

66=6y

66/6=y

<u>11=y</u>  <em>the number of hours she worked at grocery store. </em>

<em>we place y=11 in our derived x equation</em>

x=15-y

x=15-11

<u><em>x=4 </em></u><em>the number of hours she worked at tutoring. </em>

a car travels along a straight road heading east for one hour, then traveling for 30 minutes on another road that leads northeas
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

55.96 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = Speed X time

Car first moved east for 1 hr , distance = 40 x 1 = 40 miles

Car then moved north-east for 30 min, distance = 40 x 0.5 = 20 miles

From trigonometry,

sin 45 = \frac{y}{20} ; y = 20 sin 45 ; y= 14.14 miles

cos 45 = \frac{x}{20} ; x = 20 cos 45 ; x = 14.14 miles

using Pythagoras theorem;

z^{2} = y^{2} + (40+x)^{2}

    = 14.14^{2} + (40+14.14)^{2}

     = 3131.08

z^{2} = \sqrt{3131.08}

z = 55.96 miles
