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 Christmas gift is tied with ribbon the bow requires 47cm of ribbon, what is the total length of the ribbon in cm?
Sophie [7]

The complete question is as follows: A Christmas gift is tied with ribbon the bow requires 47cm of ribbon, what is the total length of the ribbon in cm?

Answer: The total length of the ribbon is 177 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

As there are 4 sides of the rectangular box and 20 cm of ribbon is on each side. This means that a total of 4 \times 20 cm = 80 cm is there on the top and bottom.

Hence, length of ribbon attached at the left and right side of the box is as follows.

2.5 \times 10 cm = 25 cm\\2 \times 25 cm = 50 cm

This means that on both left and right side a total of 50 cm is there.

Therefore, total length of ribbon is as follows.

Total length = 47 cm + 50 cm + 80 cm = 177 cm

Thus, we can conclude that the total length of the ribbon is 177 cm.

<span>A) The data form an almost linear correlation making their most likeable correlation coefficient 0.99. Thus the greater the time elapsed the greater the distance traveled, example of positive correlation. B) Value of slope for the given time interval is deltaY/deltaX = (12-4)/(30-10) = 8/20 = 0.4. The slope represents the velocity with which the toy car moves, i.e. 0.4miles/min.</span>

Multiply (2x+3y) and (3x+4y-5z)<br>please answer this fast​
ehidna [41]

Answer:

6x² + 12y² + 17xy - 25xz

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 3y) (3x + 4y - 5z)

= 6x² + 8xy - 10xz + 9xy + 12y² - 15yz

= 6x² + 12y² + 8xy + 9xy - 10xz- 15yz

= 6x² + 12y² + xy (8 + 9) - xz (10 + 15)

= 6x² + 12y² + 17xy - 25xz
