Step-by-step explanation:
5500×35=192500
/100=1925 $
Answer: - 48 (edit: omg i didnt see the minus)
Step-by-step explanation: i mean, only z multiply x
z = 12
x = 4
zx
= z multiply x
= 12 x - 4
= - 48

If you break it up:
Three-eighths = 3/8
Sixteen times a number, we'll call the unknown number X, so 16X.
Twenty Four = 24
The sum of 16X and 24 = 16X + 24
We want 3/8 of that sum so we put the sum in parenthesis and we get:
Y = 3/8(16X + 24) where Y is the answer youd get if you knew what X was.
Let's make,
mechanic #1's rate = x
mechanic #2's rate = y
* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/hr)
mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours (hr × $/hr = $)
20x = money earned by mech#1
and mechanic #2 worked for 5 hours
5y = money earned by mech#2
together they charged a total of $1150. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics.
20x + 5y = 1150
the sum of the two rates was $95 per hour.
x + y = 95
which means
x = 95 - y
plug (95 - y) in for "x" in the other equation to get everything in terms of one variable.
20(95 - y) + 5y = 1150
solve for y
1900 - 20y + 5y = 1150
1900 - 15y = 1150
-15y = 1150 - 1900
-15y = -750
y = -750/-15
y = 50 $/hr
Now use this to solve for x
x + y = 95
x + 50 = 95
x = 95 - 50
x = 45 $/hr
mech#1 charged 45$/hr
mech #2 charged 50$/hr
The slope-intercept form of the equation for a line is ...
y = (Slope)x + (y-intercept)
Put the given information in the appropriate spot in the equation. Simplify as required.
y = (-1/3)x + 0
can be simplified to
y = (-1/3)x
